take plenty of pics with the install! I've been eyeing the 2.5" JKS lift with the HD springs and fox 2.0s. Use my Check to pick up the EVO oil pan and trans skid plate for my JLU sport. rest is being saved up for a lift.
Brian, I just got my Jeep back tonight, with the JKS three inch lift installed. I LOVE IT!!! On-road handling was more comfortable, and my steering is still tight with no dead spot or wandering. I also took it off-road on the way home. Handling and comfort was incredibly great!

It’s probably just me, but it seems higher than three inches. Thoughts on that?

Thanks Brian! They are 285/70R17s on 17x9 OEM rims, a fifth on an inch shy of 33”. They are typically classified as 33s, and I had the speedometer/odometer/transmission flashed for 33s. Please keep me posted on your lift; I would like to see before and after photos!

will do. also that lift is larger because of the sport model. it ends up being like 3.75/4" lft for a sport. for what ever reason they base the lifts off the rubicon stock size which is roughtly .75"-1" difference

Brian, I talked to my mechanic again today. It was actually a 3.5” lift kit, which now makes sense, in light of what you said above. From my measurements at the front of the Jeep, it’s at least a solid 5 inch lift.

Gotcha it should settle though. I’m shocked the 33” tires don’t look bad for that much lift. Thanks for the update!
