Default Rubicon Express 7" HD lift vs 5.5" HD

Anybody running the RE 7" lift? I was set on the 5.5" and now I'm starting to rethink it. Didn't want to do a lot of trimming but want to run a 35"
Also, adding bumpers,winch stuff that adds weight.

Are you having any problems with the lift? Driveline, steering, body roll??

This won't be a DD but, will see pavement for trips.

I agree too much lift, go for something like a 4 1/2" lift cheaper to do a quality lift at that height.

The lift "Kits" are the cheapest part of a quality lift job also needed SYE, Adj. U/L CA's, HD Dbl. Shear Track Bar, Quality Shocks, Extended Brake Lines, etc. all of this adds up quickly.
