Im looking to put a 3.5in lift on my Jeep Im torn between BDS and Rock Krawler JK 3.5 Mid Arm Flex System (RKJK35FS) this one.... i dont know if they kits have everything i need to just have it installed and go. I dont know what control arms do and all the technical stuff they throw out means, or if i really even need that stuff since i dont actually plan on competing or rock climbing i just want it to look good and lifted. if somebody could help me out it would be awesome bc i feel like a handicapped kid in a AP class.... Also if someone could point me in the direction of tires size i need i would like 35s... Ive hunted all over the forums and just cant seem to piece this info together in my mind.

 

There is a great thread on this forum called; https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...bie-has-18617/

Check it out. very informative.

There is a lot of information on this forum .... and several different ways to achieve what you want.

I think your best bet to run 35's is a 2-1/2" lift. If you stay under 3.5" of lift you can avoid a lot of problems and cost.

You can give David at Northridge 4x4 an call. He is very helpful.

I'm running Rock Krawler's 3.5 Max on my Rubicon. It lifted the Jeep a lot more than 3.5". It's ok, and it does perform great off road.

Also take a look at the FAQ's on here.....that answers a lot of questions.

 

Im in a 2007 sahara Unlimted.... 6spd. I know my jeep has some sort of lift on it or leveling kit but idk what kind or how high they didnt tell me at the dealership... i bought used... i have a pic on my profile any chance you would be able to take a guess at it by looking at the pic?

Ok so after watching that video... which was awesome excellent post. i decided on one of these two Rock Krawler JK 2.5 Stock Mod System (RKJK25SM) OR Rock Krawler JK 2.5 Flex System. Still debating on 33s or 35s but this will allow me to do either... My hopefully last question about this so i can stop annoying yall is!!!! Will both of these kits come with everything I need? or would i need additional components

 

They do not come with shocks and you would either need shock extensions or new longer shocks. I got the Bilsteins 5100's and like them but shocks are another whole choice. Good luck!

 

Buy an Escalade and a purse! Lol

 

If your looking at rockkrawler I would go with either the flex kit or the max travel kit. Not the basic kit.

keep in mind you will need to add bumpstops and shocks to that kit also.

To give you an idea of what rock krawler is capable of, my 2 door 2012 rubicon is running a 2.5 max travel with 35" tires. Drives like a dream on and off road.
Yes I went to flat flares, I did not extended the bumpstops and do give my jeep a hard workout so wanted them not to rub anywhere. This kit really gets it done.

And no I don't work for rk, but will always run their lifts!
