Looks good, check your bushings every few months though, more and more RE guys are experiencing bushing failures recently. Not bashin, just something you should be aware of. Nice jk btw.

I went with the 3.5” Rubicon express. I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of jeepers with experience and narrowed it down to four companies. After that I called them and talked to each one. I was looking for the best unit not the best price. I think there is more than one lift that makes top of the line lifts. It is cheaper to buy the right lift the first time then to buy it the second time. Good luck finding the right lift for you; I know it can seem overwhelming.

That is basically my story, just throw a rear bumper, tire carrier, jerry and trail racks into the mix. I also did opt for the TF shocks because the RC 2.2 shocks were leaking. And, having a four door, I still picked up about an inch in lift higher that the overburdened RC lift (that includes the RK wedges on the rear coils with the TF).

Nice clip! Looks like a lot more than a 2.5" lift.

Good looking jeep.
