Default rubicon express 3 1/2 superflex

How hard is this lift to dial in, since it only has adjustable uper control arms? And what should i ask the installer to set the caster at ? I thank you for any feedback !

I had mine installed at the dealership but I can say it drives like stock as far as steering goes. It just has a firmer ride. No ESP lights or other warnings. I'd buy their product again.
thanks for the reply, do you know what your caster is set at, as i am also going with 35's

if you can, you want your caster to be set at about +6°. so long as the upper arms can be shortend enough, this shouldn't be a problem.

what rim and back spacing are you running. i would really like to keep mind steering like stock. the reason why i'm asking about the rims is because i believe the back spacing is key to get good steering, i don't care about rubbing when fully turned a parking lot speeds, does anybody realize how much rubbing happens between the tire and the road going around a corner at a good speed.(sorry for the rant)
