Yes rubicon express does have a pretty comfortable ride. I have run the 3.5 and liked it very much. If you are concerned about a smooth comfortable ride as far as common lift companies go you cant beat Old Man Emu. Dirk at dpgoffroad.com is a great guy. He has a few kits that incorporate Rubicon express and OME parts together in the same system!

Correction: OME and JKS in the same system. He does have some great RE lifts too.

He does recommend OME shocks with the RE/JKS lift.

I have the re 4.5 kit with the control arm relocation brackets. The ride is like factory. Only thing you have to get used to is the lower control arms poppin every once in a while when you turn
