Rubicon Express 3.5 lift super-ride vs super-flex
What is the main difference between the superflex and superride kit? I am looking at the full pack design. NOT AAL. The difference in price is like 200-300. bucks. Is there a difference in hight between the 2? And is their ride quality differences?

The main difference is the lower control arms. The Superflex kit is better if you're going to be taking it off-road, and the Superride kit is good if its just a DD or you only do light off-roading every once in a while....

They will ride about the same. Get the superflex. Its arms are different and allow for alot more flex than the regular arms. Plus you get sway bar disconects and other still you need.
If its a mall jeep and looks is the only concern get the super ride. If you plan on ANY kinda of off road stuff get the super flex.

yeah. super flex all the way. plus the control arm joints are rebuildable if you wear them out. that might take a while if you lube them properly though

If i can get a RE 3.5 superflex kit, full packs and monotube shocks for 500 bucks with less than a months worth or DD. Is that a good price? Or should I buy new?

Yeah thats a pretty good deal IMO. I bought my kit used for $250, but it didn't include LCA's or shocks....Are they the RE mono shocks?

Well to me, that sounds like a good deal. Mine was almost 10 months old, but still in good condition, and i had to pay shipping, so that sounds like a fair deal imo....

update. The kit was not a superflex it was just the super ride. The guy didnt put washers inbetween the bushing and the mount on the swaybar disconnects. So the bushings were gone. And the shocks were Twin tubed NOT mono, like i had originally thought. IS 500 bucks still worth it?

No its not.
If you want to wheel at all go superflex.

IMO, it's not even close to worth $500 for a used super-ride with twin tubes and blown out bushings.
