Let me preface this post a little...… I did not need more lift on my JL, I just have the disease and enjoy wrenching as a stress reliever. There are lots of good lift choices coming out for the JL now and I narrowed my decision to two that "I" felt were some of the best. The RK 3.5" X-Factor and the MC 3.5 Game Changer. I spoke with both companies and they are both top notch in my book which made my decision even more difficult. Ultimately I went with MC for two reasons. I tow with my JL and the MC kit has higher rate springs which I really wanted. Also, I do wheel in the snow and the simpler, rubber based design of the MC joints might hold up to the salt a little better. Other than that it really was a toss up for me. I already had Falcon 2.1 shocks that were long enough for either kit.
I want to put in a plug here for Marcus at RiverCityOffroad.com He has been extremely helpful in some of my decision making. I bought all my shocks and my 2.2 steering stabilizer from him and would have bought the RK kit if I would have went that route. He offers a 10% discount to forum members and answers emails promptly.
Overall I am impressed with the MC kit. It drives great and rides great. All the parts are very high quality and everything went together like it should. I have not had a chance to wheel it yet but the on-road manners are great. My wheel spacers are not here yet and I don't want to work it too hard until they are on because the rear swaybar links are VERY close to the wheels.
The bad? My 37s look small now.
P.S. I have most of a Daystar 2" kit and an entire Rubicon suspension with 4K miles on it sitting here that I may sell. PM me if interested.
