I LOVE mine. I went with the AAL instead of the the full leaf pack and love it inspite of the AAL's. I went with the same kit as you and am running the 31's tires. I found that in the very beginning I that the stiffness was pretty amazing... no sway's and almost no body roll. Over all I would give this kit a solid 8-9 out of 10 for what it can do. Down side would be ... I don't know honestly .... it does everything that I want it too and them some. People that I wheel with all tell me that it's insane how much movement I get out of it.

Mine has the full leaf pack. The lower leaf was taken out. It leveled my XJ and smoothed out the ride. I then added 3/4" spacers up front and longer shackles out back.
If your looking for a 3-1/2" lift, this one will not dissapoint you.
See my album for pictures. Those are 32 x 10.5 Swamper TSL Radials with the aforementioned lift, and lots of fender/flare trimming.

youve got to remember that rubicon express just began it's new management so I would be a little weary myself. but if it's anything like the old product, you can't go wrong.

It's new ownership actually. Most of the people that worked here before are still here. We are still in the same building in Rancho Cordova, CA and the same local vendors are making the raw parts that were making them before. Products are the same except for the bushing and the endring it goes in.

I run the 3.5 Super Flex and I love it. It sits much higher than the advertised 3.5 inches but thats a good thing in my book. The "new ownership" worries me because they say the quality is the same but I will believe it when I see it. Anytime a company is under new ownership things change quality wise, and the quality of RE's kits was the main reason why I went with them to begin with. I hope that I am wrong because RE really knows how to make some quality stuff, and there customer service is top notch.

I love mine to death, the only complaint I have is too much flex (if that's even a complaint lol). I've come very close to popping springs on the trail with this kit and will be putting limiting straps on my front axle soon.
