I recommend the 3.5 Metalcloak. Here’s mine with 37’s. That with my Fox 2.5s it rides and drives better than new. RK is a good lift as well. At the end of the day it’s preference. It was a toss up for me, and for some reason I kept going back to Metalcloak. You can get a front driveshaft from them as well. I also have the Fox ATS stabilizer. Steering is effortless regardless of tire pressure.

Ok finally got the 3.5 rock krawler ultimate adventure lift in and installed. Love it so far! Rides good and has good articulation. After installed I re measured from the mopar 2" I picked up about 1 1/8" inch all the way around. Would have likes a good 1 1/2in+ increase. I have a few more questions. What do you guys think about adding rustys 3/4" top spring spacers to get the extra lift I wanted? Also do u think it would effect anything on the fit? I know I have adjustable upper control arms/track bars? I left my adjustable front and rear synergy track bars on. What do u guys think?

If that's fully flexed, I don't see the need for the spring spacers. You'd still have tire clearance with unchopped fenders. The unnecessary extra height from the spacers would only serve to increase center of gravity and control arm angle. Personally, I'd leave it as is. It looks great!

This, but to answer your question you should be fine adding spacers if that’s what you want to do.

My shocks extend max of 28.8 so I was thinking about doing the new front driveshaft just to be safe. I thought I read about a cv style? Or just get a Tom woods or anybody got a suggestion?

Adam's is a popular choice. The problem with the factory front driveshaft is it contacting the frames crossmember that is located just forward and below the transfer cases output yoke. The lift angles the driveshaft further downward and it's a larger diameter than the aftermarket versions.
