I got a call back and boy were they helpful! Now I just need to get another OT check!!!

I'm about to take advantage of a Black Friday free shipping sale but can't decide on 2.5 vs 3.5 game changer. Is anyone running 2.5 with 37s on a 4dr and regret not going with the 3.5 coils? I'm on the fence since everyone is talking about getting more height out of the MC coils and I am running a light rig.
Thanks in advance

I have the 3.5" coils, and keep thinking about dropping to their 2.5". Here is a pic with 37" stt pro's and stock flares. Stubby and winch, but relatively light compared to many.

I have the 2.5" with 37" BFG KO2s on a 4 door. I don't regret it for a second. Love it. Looks perfect and rides great.
3.5" would have been a bit much imo.

The 3.5's are tall. If I were to do it over I'd probably go with the 2.5's if I was sticking with 37's.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but what wheels are those?

I think it all depends on if you plan to run flat fenders or stock fenders. I love the look and ride height of my MC 3.5 on stock fenders and 35s.

I'll be the voice for the 3.5" lift. Granted I have very heavy bumpers, but I'm incredibly happy with the lift height. I also have flat fenders and 37s. And also it's a 2 door but generally I think of 2 doors running less lift than 4 doors. So, my vote is for 3.5" personally.
