I had to put a cheap spacer lift on my JL. I'm having trouble finding a good lift because it's a 2dr. Why does a 2dr need a different lift than a 4dr the only difference I could think of is maybe the springs because a 4dr is heavier. I'm waiting for JKS, Terraflex, or BDS to make a good 3.5 inch spring lift for a 2dr JL.

You have, and man I love your products, have used them for years on JK’s. But you (and to be fair, everyone else) don’t have a lift for the 2 door Rubicon owners that want to run 35’s without it looking like a roller skate. I believe a big opportunity is being missed. 1.5” spring lift would be nice for us.

I second this. Been asking manufacturers for months if this is something they would entertain.

Our 2 door lifts are based on sport suspension, on a Rubi 2 door, you'd only gain 1.5-1.75" of lift. That's almost exactly what you're looking for. On a rubi, with 35's, especially Nitto's new 11.5" wide 35's, you can get away with about 5" BS maybe even a little bit more to suck those tires in and get away from that look. Give us a call, we have ways to do what you want to do.

Will do. I’m about to replace your 2.5” lift with your 3.5” lift on the wife’s JKUR. She’s wanting 37’s again.

@Rock Krawler

Do you have any pics of your lift on a 2 door Rubicon with 35’s?

That does sound like what I’m looking for. Do your spring rates play well with the Falcon shocks?

They're reported as rather rough when paired together. I haven't personally driven a jeep with our springs and Falcon shocks, but many reports have said 2.1's don't match well at all, 3.1's are ok-ish, and 3.3's are pretty alright... Again, no personal experience.

You could just replace springs, the remaining components just need an adjustment, no reason to change the whole lift.

I would have to add some things. Only running front lower arms.

I currently have a set of the 3.3s, guess if I do go down this route I'll try them out. Contrary to popular opinion, I don't find the Falcons to be a great match for the stock springs either. Not a fan of digressive valving in off-road vehicles, I guess.
