no complaints! I should be swapping out lifts for an Evo or Rock Krawler soon so I know the ride may be compromised for daily driving. This RC kit was about the only thing available when i first got it and to be honest, its been bullet-proof! I will eventually be going to 37"s or 38"s and re-gear as well.

Added the RIGID Adapt 20" light bar with RIGID hood brackets! Getting some crazy questions at the gas station with this new light bar....

 

[jabtyler]

how are you liking the light on the hood? do you get a lot of light coming back at you from the hood?

No light bounce back whatsoever

UPDATE:

Well I got rid of the Rough Country spacer lift and added the Rubicon Express 2.5" Super Ride kit and the Rubicon Express front adjustable track bar. Shout out to @Northridge4x4 for the great deal and @RubiconExpress for the rebates! I also picked up the FOX 2.0 performance shocks and instantly noticed much less body roll! Shout out to the Pelham @4WPParts for the hook up! Now I look and those tires look mighty small! Thinking 38"s with a re-gear.... Thoughts???

How does the Rubicon Express lift ride? Stiff, smooth? Etc

The ride is not very stiff to me. I have added weight obviously with the motobilt front and rear bumpers and the WARN winch. The FOX shocks do help as well and remember these are not dual rate springs. My wife is the biggest critic on ride quality. My last Jeep was a 17 and the JL rides 10x better then that one with a similiar set up (minus FOX resi's)

Thanks for the info! I actually prefer linear coils over progressive. In my experience they tend to ride nicer.
