Driving with a RE 3.5" super ride lift...

I keep going back and forth between getting a lift kit, or not. So lets say I got the RE 3.5" super ride lift kit with the DT3000 shocks, or whatever the standard ones are for RE, and 31" tires. How much different would it drive, handle and acceleration than stock? Does anyone have this or a similar set up? Because right now, driving it stock, it's actually kind of fun to drive, probably to it being smaller. But if i got a lift and large tires, would I be all over the road, and have sluggish acceleration? Thanks guys,
Jordan

I have the super flex. Drives fine but i need new brakes. Thats about it. Slightly harder to stop and goes where i tell it to as far as the road goes at least. Might as well just get the super flex kit if your gonna life it IMO.

as far as i know just a lack of a super flex joint in the LCA, which would be a good idea to have if you went wheeling. Otherwise youd probably destroy the bushing. Mines my daily driver and the super flex rides great (for being lifted) Id say its pretty close to stock, minus the feeling of being higher off the ground.

if you are referring to how it will drive/steer/performance then yes it will effect all that. Steering will feel different, braking is reduced, acceleration is reduced as well as gas mileage with the tires that is
