Here's mine.
3.5" Rubicon Express RE6025 Superride kit.
31x10.50/15 tires

I like the kit. Was very easy to install. It did lift more than advertised.
Around 5 inches in the rear, and a little over 4 inches in front.
I need to fix my rear shackle angle, cause it rides a tad bit rough in the back.

OME 2" medium duty packs OME AAL 1", 1" Shackle = 4+" Maybe Relocation brackets for 1.5"

OME Coil springs 2" JKS ACOS= 3.5-6" then long arm of choice

If you stay at 2" by just getting the leaf packs and the coils not as many parts are necessary. When you step up to 3"+ then your ride is decreased substantially on stock control arms and other components start becoming needed like SYE's, track bar, control arms, brake lines etc. etc.

Been running the OME leaf packs since 07' and the coils since 08', everything else is pretty much bone stock. Handling, ride and towing capacity have greatly improved. Goes every where I ask of it and places I shouldn't. Pretty darn capable, with skids and a locker it would be scary.

It's a '96, and it does have some driveline vibes. I'm going to check my pinion angles, and address with some shims possibly.
I plan on getting an SYE when I get my tax money back. Until then, I dont plan on doing any hard wheeling yet.
