Looking for 2.5" lift to complete the look.

just Curious about the caster angle. i see the kit comes with the correction brackets but if you order the lower control arms front and rear then will you still need the correction brackets to improve the angle?

No. Do one or the other. Combining arms and brackets will give crazy caster which will scallop the outer lugs on your tires. If gets wheeled use arms, if it's a looker do the brackets. HTH Garry

thanks for the reply Garry. I figured that would be the answer but the JKS website didnt state that or i just blindly missed it. I do wheel and overland so ill put the kit to its paces that's for sure with the tent's extra weight.

Make sure you get the H/D springs! Be aware that JKS has suspended shipping due COVID 19. Please use a vendor that my stock these items. Or be patient and wait for the good stuff. Teraflex is also a very good choice. It's what I'm running on my JL Rubi.

Added bumpers, 12K winch, RSE rails and armor, and other things... Rides even better than before and fast as stock with 37s. Love it!

Running any spacers?

2” Synergy Stage 1 with 35” KM3
Little more than your budget but phenomenal ride.

Synergy 1.75”” wheel spacers, yes, but no lift spacers.

Here's my 19 2 dr. Rubi with Teraflex Sport ST2 and 3.3 Falcons. Ride is very good and controlled. Soaks up speed bumps like they're a tar strip. Rollers are Dick Cepek 37x12.50 R17 Extreme terrains on Weld Ledge Beadlocks 17x9 4.5 B/S @ 25 psi.

I noticed it looks like you have brackets on your bumper for a tow bar? Do you flat tow the Jeep? We just finished an install of a Rockhard 4x4 bumper with tow brackets. I didn't realize there was an option for the OEM steel bumper? I may have gone that route instead. Also, how is stability flat towing with a lift and 37's? I was thinking of staying on the 33's due to improved stability in flat tow. Thanks.

Yes those are custom built tow bar brackets. I pulled them from my 15 JK Hardrock and transfered to the JL. I tow with a 40 ft. diesel and neither the Jeep nor the Bus know any different! I've put at least 20k on those brackets no problem all with 35's. I will adjust my ball height to compensate for the 37" tires. Tow bar should be level or slightly uphill to the tow vehicle (best IMO). I do trailer occasionally if I suspect any major carnage but at my age those days are fading, howeverrthis thang will take a good beating now and again!

I have the AEV 2.5" DualSport RT.

LOVE IT

Did you need to add a Trackbar to align the axles after the AEV lift?

Mopar 2.5 Fox Lift with 35 x 12.5R20

And now with 37s:

Did u have to add a Trackbar?

Nope! All of the relocation brackets are included.

Have 2018 Rubicon with 35 x 12.5 tires, with no rub issues currently, I've only had on light trails. Want to do a little more wheeling, nothing crazy. I'm looking at three different lifts. Rock Krawler 2.5 stock mod lift, JKS J rated 2.5 suspension lift w/Fox shocks, or AEV 2.5 Dual Sport RT. Any opinions out there? or any other kit in the same price range, $1300 - $1600.

The Rock Krawler is amazing
