It'll suit you fine. You might want some better shocks, I like the Bilstein 5100's.

Not sure if you are willing to consider other kits....but I can get you a quote on a nicer Rubicon Express kit. Pm me if you need a quote.

i did the basic 3" full leaf kit from rustys and an IRO double shear track bar. I just installed it like a few days ago and havent had any on road problems but i haven't taken it offroad yet, so i cant help you in that dept. but i'd imagine it will be pretty good

Rusty's has a bad reputation around here. It would likely be fine for your uses, but do some research before committing. Check out Zone's 3" kit, I have it on mine and love it. It doesn't come with new control arms or a track bar though...I got those separate from Iron Rock Offroad which is a reputable company. I suppose it comes down to how much you're willing to spend.
