I went with the assumption that for our 2 door we ordered (and should arrive in the next month or two) that we should be able to use any lift kit (Mopar, Evo, etc). But, what I find interesting is that Mopar lists different part numbers for the 2 door and 4 door lift kits. That was *not* the case for the JK/JKU, and that has me worried. If they changed the suspension design, or there are items that interfere (exhaust, etc) enough to cause the need for different systems, then its quite possible we may not see 2 door suspension kits come out for some time as the various manufacturers will need to wait until they get their hands on one to start R&D.

Any insight here that isn't conjecture? Like, anyone from Jeep or a vendor who has seen/inspected a 2 door that can speak to it?

THANKS!

Springs could be different due to the lesser amount of weight. I'd imagine the control arms should be the same, but maybe some exhaust finagling like with the 2012+ JK.

Yep, that makes sense. Less spring rate like in the JK/JKU.
