2.5" Rubicon Express?

Anyone running the Rubicon Express 2.5" hanger/shackle kit?
How do you like it?
I was thinking about running it along with the Donahoe mini spring kit and some 35's.
Anyone else done this?

I'm planning on running the same kit. I just have a couple of other things to do first, and I should get to it two or three pay days from now. I haven't seen one installed yet but hear good things about their Jeep kits. They look very well thought out and engineered and hopefully someone can chime in and confirm this for both of us.

I have the FabTech 3.5 hanger kit on mine and I like it. Rubicon on my wife's Cherokee, Rubicon is a good product. If your truck is a F-250 one of the guys on the Diesel Stop site installed the Rubicon with 35's and used a 4 inch block on the rear from an F-350 which gave him a 1/2 inch of chassis rake.

Where did you buy from? and what was the price?
I was also looking at FabTech.

Friend of mine owns a 4-wheel drive shop in Ohio. $475 for the kit. I now know why he charges customers to install lifts after I did the wifes Jeep......I do my own work so figure double the amount if you have the system installed. The Rubicon for the Jeep is top notch but putting the lift on was another story.

The Super-Duty is easier by a long run.........
