My first lift was a Rubicon Express 3.5" lift. I was amazed at the ride quality.

From 2005

RE is now part of Transamerican auto parts. Theyre the same company that makes Pro Comp and Smittybuilt and I believe 4WD hardware and 4WP are retailers owned and managed by them.

I have it but don't you guys think the front coils are on the stiff side? (241 lbs vs 150 lbs stock)

Mine actually rides very well...I have heard others say the spring is too stiff but on my Heep it is not bad... dont know if my set up is different most but I will say changing out to adjustable control arms( in my case JKS arms) made a huge difference on how it drove...alignment is dialed in perfectly which makes a big difference on a lifted vehicle...just my two cents
