On my last TJ, I had a 4" RK long arm set up on 33's. If you want to see it, I can post a couple pics.
RK is good stuff. Excellent quality!

Awesome thanks! =] I see people that have them and everyone says it's top notch... just can't find pictures... Would you mind measuring from your tire to bottom of fender? That would be stellar!

RK 3.5 FLEX S/A lift on TJ
Just installed the 3.5" RK life about a week ago and it went on pretty smooth. I am waiting on a new steering stabilizer from OME though, should be here Tuesday. As far as the RK lift goes: it has extremely solid components, rides pretty nice and gives me plenty of room to up grade tires. As of right now I have 32X11.50 and if I remember correctly it was about 8.5-9 inches of clearance from the top of the tire to the bottom of the flare, I'll have to double check though. One thing that I have heard bad things about is the track bar relocation bracket. Not that RK makes a poor bracket but in general I've heard that it will cause the dreaded death wobble within 6 months and I was pretty much "warned" to trash the whole track bar and bracket and buy a new adjustable track bar..which I guess would be nice but I have already payed for this, so I'm just going periodically check torques and watch for changes, I guess time will tell haha. Anyways, just got the lift on so not much help, but so far it rides good and its a clean solid feeling lift.

Sweet man... looks good. I ordered mine on the 9th of last month and have yet to get it in... The seller has been telling me it will ship soon forever and then called today and said that RK is waiting on the springs, which is the same thing they said last week and I was told they would be in by the end of the week... and now he says they aren't expecting them till the end of this week which means I can't even be hopeful of getting my lift until sometime next week...

After talking to a few members here who ran this kit for several years, I have decided to go with the Savvy/Currie kit.
