Post Rubicon Express 3.5 inch Superflex?

This is the lift I am seriously considering and just want to know how everyone feels about it. in particularly people who actually have this lift or have experienced it.

Flex?
Ride? (street/offroad)
quality?

Thanks ahead of time

nice high quality kit that offers a great ride and flexes very well. a lot of members here have it and love it including Dizzyliz. if there's one thing that i could say bad about it, it would be that the lower control arms aren't adjustable. however, it does come with adjustable uppers and they should be enough to get your caster set and pinion angle dialed in. need i say, if you're considering this kit, get it and you will be happy with it

I've got it and it's a good lift. It flexes better than it has any right too. The lower arms aren't adjustable but they are 1/4" longer and that's about where you would adjust them to anyway. And of course you use your uppers to adjust caster and pinion angle. The inportant thing is that all the arms have a super flex joint so that is where the articulation comes from. I got the RE valved Bilstein shocks and they work well.

If you want more you can go to the Currie or Clayton lifts but the cost goes up dramatically. The RE is a lot of value for the money. You get an adjustable front track bar, a rear trackbar bracket extention that is very well braced and will cause no problems with the welds on the factory bracket, longer rear sway bar links, front sway bar discos and all four extended stainless braided brake lines. Their springs seems to take weight well too and it levels the Jeep out. I was 1" low in the front and I netted exactly 3.5" in the rear and 4.5" in the front so it sits level. 35's work great with this lift.

I have had this lift with the Bilstens now for 6 Months. No regrets, works well with 35's but they do rub in extreme flex
