Well I got my jeep home. So far I'm happy with it. Comfortable on the road and soft top is better than i thought. Radio volume is dodgy and so is the fuel gauge which says its empty a lot of the time. Does anyone actually have 35s under 3.5" lift I'd really like to get confirmation from someone before I buy it. I think I read the lift kit doesn't have the springs or shocks or something. Is thatright? If so what should I get with it. Any good budget flares? Best sye?
Thanks heaps.

Very common lift to run with 35"s in the US and several have done it and run it over here. Ask Dave for a price on a 4.5" RE Superflex kit but specify 3.5" coils.

Many are swapping out their 4.5"coils in favour of a LCG via the 3.5"s and increased bumpstop.

I have 4.5 RE springs and Currie CA's, had RE CA's previously and the Currie's I would rate higher for durability and wear etc.

I'm on the way to changing out my rear 4.5" coils and replacing them with 3.5"s, only because I am about hack off my rear upper coil mount and install a relocation kit, the kit provide 1" of lift (generally) as the mount is relocated to allow correct coil geometry with lifts over 3.5".
So the 3.5" coils in the rear should make it sit level again......hopefully

And personally even though its the right price for some; I would not purchase any Rugged Ridge items....based on previous quality related experiences.

I think 4.5" might be too much for regular road use. For anyone that has it how does it go on the road with 3.5"? I was under the impression that rugged ridge was good. I am on a tight budget though so keep that in mind but saying that I'd rather start with a few good things than lots of bad things. What sye and shocks would you suggest? I know fox shocks are good as we use them but expensive.
Thanks guys and sorry for all the questions but I'm still a newb.
