2019 JLUR 4.5" lift 37"s
I am looking to upgrade my 2.5" lift on my JLUR. My top pick is the 4.5" Evo overlander kit. Then I noticed that they offer a relatively simple 6.5' kit for the JT. I am just curious if there is a reason the JT can be lifted more? with the right upgrades (driveshafts, extended lines, ect) could these springs work to lift the JLUR higher without going to coil overs?

Why would you want to go that high? The jt can go that high because its longer. It doesnt get as top heavy

True. I probably would not want to go that high. I was just curious about what the differences might be. after doing a 2.5 and instantly wanting more lift I am just comparing all options. also I am worried since I have all of the heavy options that I might throw lots of money at a good lift with expensive shocks and net less than 2". also I am just curious about the JT differences, I guess the longer wheel base would help but if that was the only factor a JLU should be able to be lifted more than a JL. Thanks for the input, this is helping me stay grounded (pun intended) and just pull the trigger on a 4.5".

You wont need anything higher than that, the jt needs a higher lift as well to accomplish the same stuff to clear the belly. You wont get as much squat or sag as you think you will. But if you do spacers are easy install to level it back out.
