Default Pic Request: RE 3.5 with 31x10.5

Interested in the 3.5 kit from RE and seeing how some 31's would look. I've read some previous threads and googled some images, but I'd like some fresh input if you have this setup.

I'd prefer a 3 inch kit, but I'm not sure which companies would be best...from what I hear Zone and Rusty's would be good. Any input is welcome, thanks guys

Keep in mind, re gives more loften then advertised. Imy some cases the 3.5 gives 4.5 inched. The rustys and zone kits are both great.

OK. With that said would a larger tire than 31x10.5 fit if they go a bit higher? Maybe like a 32 or would there need to be mods?

Might just go with the Zone 3 inch, slap some 31s on and be done with it. Seems like a reputable company based on some feedback

3 inch lift with super lift coils from summit racing $80
2" rear lift shackles from ebay. $45
Full length add a leaf ebay 1.5" lift $55
JK wrangler shocks from ebay $50
Axle side trackbar bracket from ebay to center axle $25

Ride was very nice and height was 3 inch front 3 inch rear. If the rear settles you can move down one hole on the shackles and level it back out
Rims and tires off JK are 31.5" X 10. (255/75/17)

I had to trim the front bumper caps and that was it
