Looks awesome, totally going to copy you.

First time naked.

I haven’t taken off the rear bottom piece because it seemed like I’d loose the inner liners. How did you retain them?

This happen to me at 400ish miles. I pressed the button several times without pressing the break and then with break and it started.

Just a tip for the next guy! You can actually push in the push retainers from the outside without opening the inside of the bumper and just pull out the entire wire.

The ride is perfect. Everything is solid.

Discount balanced mine with no issues.

MT's, I can't hear them at all. I drive 80 (real 80) all the time and it rides perfect.

I’ve had three builds, 2jk’s and now jl. Spacer, RC 3.5 and now RK 2.5 X factor. The ride on the RK is amazing on the road, haven’t hit the trail yet. Of course it has a lot to due with the shocks/tires as well. I went with Fox 2.0 and Patagonia 40s. This is the best setup I’ve had to date...

Coming from a JK, I have to say the JL is amazing. The engineers did so many things right. There’s always going to be issues with a new platform and the JL has some issues, no doubt, but all in all, it’s a rockstar. That being said, the Jeep’s chief engineer responses were lame!

Finished RK 2.5 lift, KMC beadlocks and Patagonia 40s

I finished putting a set of Patagonia 40s on some kmc beadlocks today. Took it out for its maiden voyage today, got it up to 70 and no noise. They are very quite, no pull. So far, so good. I’ll update after I get some more trails and miles behind them.

Suspension, wheels and tires - done.

No, shocks. Basically, go with shocks with more travel to maximize articulation.

Talked to Jeremy over at RK support and he was a great help. Couple of really great tips. 1. Torque johnny joints off the vehicle with a vice. 2. Disconnect drag link and remove both springs in order to easily install control arms at recommend lengths. 3. Don’t forget to order bump stops...

So most of the kit arrived yesterday, so I thought why not get started. Thought I’d share my experience so far. 1. I was a little nervous to find out that the springs in this kit weren’t made specifically for the JL. They are springs that are used on previous models of JKs. This might turn out...

I’ve been back and forth on this a hundred times. I finally decided since this is not my DD, I’d see how long the stock dana’s last and just deal with it then.
