Buy what you need. I can find more good deals than I can find money.

Compressed length of the 392 shocks is longer than the stock (non-392) bump stop by about 1/2", making the shock your bump stop if you don't extend the bump. You'd gain about an inch in droop.

If you're looking specifically for Foxes, the 2.0 IFP 0-1.5" would be a better application, maintaining bump stop protection and adding about 2" of shock travel compared to the stock Rubicon shocks.

May i know is the the one 2.0 IFP 0-1.5" ?

My dilemma is that I just ordered this from Northridge 4X4 before seeing this thread:

Do I return them when I get them in? Also not sure if there will be added expense if I return them shipping wise.

I honestly would rather do the 392 set-up as I wouldn’t have shock extensions BUT I can’t afford keeping the adjustable track bars front & rear and would return the geometry correction bracket and re buy the Mopar LCA (actually had them and returned then via Amazon whenI decided to do this purchase).

Appears so.

Are you going to wheel it and what tire size are you planning?

exactly . . . completely true, LOL! Stay liquid and stay diligent, deals are out there!

I unfortunately will not be wheeling it any time soon and plan to run either 35x12.5/R17 or 315/70R17.

If you aren't wheeling it, the control arm brackets should get you better steering geometry than LCAs if you are lifting enough to use them.

Realistically, some of the components included in the RC spacer lift are ones you'd want to add (or consider adding) even with the spring/shocks from the 392, and it's competitively priced just for those parts (sway bar end links and bump stops).

Although you can run 35 on road without additional bump stop, you'll want at least some bump extension if you ever take it off road.

Thanks for the input!

I was kinda thinking the same thing and could could recoupe a little $$$ by selling my stock Rubicon shocks and springs but then again, I have almost 48k miles on the stock shocks so probably won’t get much if any for them. And when I have to replace the shocks can go the 392 route.

Just put them on and stay on the road. You don't have to lift it.
