I have this lift in my 2010 unlimited Rubicon. I did the install myself, with the help of my son and installed 35 inch tires. I have put about 4,000 miles on it this summer and it has been just fine. Jeep handles well and is not more rough than the stock Rubicon suspension. The heigfht has not sagged at all and I have just switched back to the stock 32 inch tires for the winter. Good instructions and general construction. Only negative was the front brake line extensions. I did not use them because they did not fit very well and I perferred to use extended brake lines.
Rear brake line extensions were fine.

Check my last post...
I just posted on this lift with pics. I have a 2010 2 dr Sport. So far I have logged about 800 miles and I have no complaints. I'm not sure I really got 3.25" of lift, but the Jeep sits level, it rides great and I installed the lift myself, in about 5 hours, with hand tools. I have an air-compressor, but impact wrench kicked the bucket during installation.
I would say it's a good lift. For the money, it's a great lift.

Just remembered something...
The front brake line extensions... useless. After removing my front brake lines from the frame, I couldn't move them more than 1/2 to 3/4" from the original position. I didn't want to mess-up the brake lines, so I just placed them back in the stock location. Maybe someone can give me some in-put on that...
