I have 4.10's. I am satisfied with them (manual trans). If I go to 35" tires, then I will reconsider changing the gear ratio.

I just installed my new Rock Hard bumpers today, so I'll add new pics later.
I parked next to a Wrangler Sport today and that Sport looked like a kid's toy. I was surprised at the difference.

I've got over 62,000 miles on my 4" RC lift with no problems. No leaking shocks or anything. Other parts have worn out, but not their's. I have wheeled mine quite a bit too. If you look close at my avatar pic, you can see how much flex you're going to get. I do get some minor fender rub, but it's worth it to keep all 4 wheels on the ground. With RC's warranty and great service + JK-Forum discount, pretty hard to beat the value.

Default my suggestions

....my rear trackbar bracket just broke and i had to have it welded back on. replace the RC bracket with a teraflex, huge difference and it wont leave you stranded like i was. also, extend your rear bump stops....i flexed the rear axle so much that i actually bent my exhaust pipe. just my 2 cents.

Which bracket broke, the axle bracket or the frame bracket?
