Default RK 2.5 or 3.5
Ok I am looking at getting one of Rock Krawler's lift on my 4 door JK. Either the 2.5 Max Travel or the 3.5 Mid-Arm. I will be running 35's for the time being, but I am just wondering how this kit performs on the road compared to stock. Also I would like to see some pictures on anybody running this setup.

I had the 3.5 RK lift with Bilsteins 5100. It handled great, felt better than stock did. This time around (sold my old JK to buy my house) I'm going to go with 2.5" RK. I'll be going with the shorter one just because of my fiance, she is shorter and had a hard time getting in. Plus I prefer the wide and low look. I ran 37's with flat fenders and had plenty of room, probably could of cleared 40's.

I have the 3.5" on 35's. I love the on road handling and feel. I went with the 3.5" because of the length of the 4 door and wanted a better break over angle.

If you are gonna do 35's I would do 2.5 with flat fenders. You should get more lift I feel like I did with the 3.5.

I like the look of yours a lot. Is it just the mid arm kit?

Thanks! Yeah, it's the mid arm flex Kit.

It flexes like a champ too!
