Those brackets make the kit IMO. I'm running the Rancho's on mine,
Fwiw a friend has the 3.5 on her 2 door and it drives well. She has the reg 5100's,

I'll be recycling my 35's on it till they die, then upgrading to the 37's.
We have a guy in my group that has 2013 Rubicon with 4.5 AEV and. 37's- Drove it all the way out to Colorado and ran Chinamen's Gultch which is a good difficult trail with no problems. Drove it then to Deadwood South Dakota for another weekend of Camp 5. Then drive home to Minnesota. Lots of freeway and Offroad miles no issues!!!

I would go with the 4.5" and 37s but gas mileage is a concern for me. I have been close to running out on several off road trips now and that will be compounded my extra height and bigger meats. But the aev kit is the best setup for my needs as well. I'm just keeping it at 2.5" with brackets and 35. Should keep my mileage close to what I am now.

If my memory services me correct I thought he was like getting close to 16 MPG on freeway. He has a 2013 Rubicon, 6 speed, 37 toyo 's, 4.88 gears!! 4.5 AEV

Im waiting for my mopar stage 3. Its all included 3'' kit (cept for the steering damper). I could of put my own lift together to suit me more but as of now its my dd and im not abusin her. I liked the fox dual shocks and the teraflex components so i opt'd for it. I kno most guys says its over priced and you can get something cheaper. You can i just like to get a all included package.

Good luck
