Ok when I first got the jeep unlimited I said I was not going to go taller than a 33" tire. With that in mind I ended up buying a TF 2.5 kit with shocks, an RC adjustable front track bar, and RC adjustable discos. Well long story short I sold the 33's and put on some 35's now I feel like I should have gone with a 3.5 lift instead. I do plan on my next upgrade being a set of poison spyder flares so that should help with full flex. Do you think I should sell my 2.5 kit and go up or just put the flares on and ride?
Also the local jeep club I'm part of everyone has 35's with a 3.5 RC lift.
Heres a pic of how it sits now.

Is your current setup limiting you for how you use it? I'd stick with the 2.5 and go flats if you need more room for tire stuffing and the appearance of a larger lift. Also keeping the 2.5 will maintain a low CG and avoid the driveline issues/costs that are associated with larger lifts. Just my .02

I was just at EVO. They are recommending keeping the JK's lower. 35's with a 3" lift and flat fenders is their recommendation.

I really trust those guys.

Get some flat flares first before you decide to go with 3.5 inch lift. You will probably change your mind once you see how much room you will have with those 35s and 2.5 inch lift.

I ran 35 with AEV 2.5 and ps flat fenders... I then went 37 and it still looked good. However I am going 3.5rk because of articulation and stuff purposes. But I have only had the 37 nitto's on for 100-200 miles and I want 40's. Unless your going 37 or 40 stay with 2.5 and 35 especially with flats.
