Default too much choice in choosing new suspension

awaiting delivery of my new 2dr rubi so thought id start shopping already. this sounds like a stupid problem to have but i cant decide on what suspension to run. i know i need 3.5 to 4 to clear 35s properly and id prefer to keep to a short arm setup. the rubicon express 3.5 superflex kit seems to look ok also but am unable to find any honest opinions on it or any other.

what are your recomendations and pros & cons to what you've used?

there are many options and it can be confusing, with the Poly setup 3" and you'll clear 35's no prob, whether you initially want to change arms is up to you, it is not essential but I would recommend the lowers for both front and rear.
Your budget will really determine how far you want to go, we have many customers who make mistakes in taking the cheap option only to change it down the track.

I've decided on the PP 2" lift coils and Rancho 9000 adjustables, seems to be the best combo.

Mopar only $400, $40 extra for pp coils is money well spent!
