Default Lift Kit suggestions

I'm getting ready to purchase a lift for my DD. Thinking maybe 3.5 inch lift with 31x10.50x15's. Leaning towards the Rubicon Express superride 3.5. What do you guys think?

If you can swing it, get the full leaf packs with the RE kit.

Now I'm thinking about 4.5 to 5.5 short arm kit... I just sold a XJ with 4.5 inches of lift and I really don't think I could go smaller now haha

I'm sure long arms ride a lot better than shorts when you go that high? Then add in a sye I think :/ lol and I thought picking a lift was easy

the taller the tippier. but if its just a street jeep then who cares.

With a 5.5 in lift on short arms you are not going to have much down travel at all. Unless you go with lca lowering kit.

This is also a learning experience because I bought the last one lifted. What companies would you recommend for long arms? RE is about $2100 bucks
