Thank you for checking in!

I have a ‘20 JLU Sport already swapped with standard Rubicon shocks and springs. I have since collected Synergy 2” springs along with Rubi XR shocks for a great deal. My question is, what else do I need to get my jeep lifted and driving and what should I be / what can I wait to upgrade after it’s back on the road?

I will be swapping to 35s and into Rubicon fenders as well.

Thank you again!

Longer sway links, longer bump stops F+R (possibly check the installation manual for the mopar 2" lift for part numbers on bump stops, I was able to source them pretty cheaply that way), longer LCAs (possibly, depending on caster angle, but again look at the mopar lift part #'s for these). That's probably about all you will need initially but its really a can of worms once you get going.

@Hotchyy , I’d additionally, consider adjustable trackbars or trackbar relocation brackets to center your axles.

Might not be off my much depending how much lift you actually get (depends on your options and how much weight you carry on the Jeep). I certainly needed them with my 2.5in Teraflex springs, and I didn’t go up in tire size that much.

I forgot to mention I do believe I have the longer Mopar LCAs

Would you do the adjustable track bars or the relocation brackets? I am occasionally loaded down and sometimes pull a light Space trailer with a RTT/ATV

Unfortunately I don’t know enough about the different ideal use cases for each - I personally went with adjustable trackbars at the recommendation of the company that makes the new shocks I installed.

Best to do adjustable track bar in front, and in the rear you can use a relocation bracket for up to 2.5” of lift. If you go higher you’ll need an adjustable track bar to center the axle…..
