Hi... im currently running the dynatrac lift on my jlu sport with 35s.
I love the way it rides on road as a daily driver.
I however came across a great deal on a new 3.5 rock crawler xfactor lift.
Im torn between buying that lift and selling the dynatrac or just putting the extra money on upgrading steering components and a bunch of other stuff.
I hav not off road as of yet that much at all.. and will like to get into it a bit as much as possible down here in south florida. So prob won't be crazy rock crawling or crazy stuff due to my geographical location.
Would love to hear some opinions on this..
Thanks

I would say to not mess with success. Unless you plan to axle swap to properly support 37" or bigger tires you will just be wasting money.

Off road it first and see if your current lift works for you or not...then make a decision. Odds are it will work just fine and since it rides nice why change things up?

I am planning on axle swaps but not for a wile.
Will run 37s then.. but again not for a wile
The plan is to pay of the jeep and keep it as a toy only thats when those upgrades will come along.
Thank you for opinion really do appreciate it.
I want to hear from others that like me love our jeeps and sometimes can't pull the trigger on things lol...
Im honestly open to both routes

If you love the lift, keep it. And buy the RK lift. Just use the control arms and track bars. Since the Dynatrac lift didn't come with any of that anyway. Sell the springs, bumpstops and shocks from the RK lift.

If you plan to axle swap just wait. No sense wasting money.

In the time it takes to save to axle swap it new products will be out or more reviews on current products will be out to help you make a more informed purchase.

I’m on the Rock Krawler 3.5” xfactor, it’s awesome. I won’t blow up your thread with a bunch of pics, you can see what I’m talking about if you look at my garage page.

But like others said, I’m not sure you’ll benefit from it as much where you’re located. Probably not a lot of places where you can get twisted up. If you do buy it, I’d wait till you got the 37s to go with it. IMHO, 3.5” lift is a little high for 35s.
This...3.5" lift looks great with 38s.:bandit:
