Glad to hear the quality is great.

Yes I order all the parts powder coated so I assume it will be a bit, but worth the wait.

Yes!!! It works great!! Smooth and flexy with excellent ride quality. Mine is only 10 months old, so far so good. My brother bought same kit also. I would buy it again if building another Jeep.

Can someone tell me how high their JK sits with a 3.5" Gamechanger lift with 35" tires. Just want to make sure it fits in the garage. Maybe I should just go with the 2.5" and 35's?

Mine fits in garage with 3 or 4 inches to spare. Standard garage door opening with roll up door. 3.5 Gamechanger with 35" BFG M/T's @ 25 psi. Can get you exact roof height later if no one else gets it to you sooner.

How much weight have you added?

My 4door is relatively light compared to some others on here, and I got way more lift with MC 3.5" coils than I intended. Lots of room for my 37's even with stock flares on. I should have gone with the 2.5" coils.

You won't have problems with a standard garage door. I've got the 3.5, 37's, and a relatively light JKU and fit with around an inch and a half to spare even with a soft top.

I have the 3.5" and 35" pro comps as well with no clearance problem with the hardtop or soft top. You'll still have about an inch and a half to two inches of clearance. If you have a lip going into the garage ( like I do ) just go slow or else you may have a problem, otherwise you should be fine with no worries.
