JKS 2.5" JSpec Suspension kit - Any real world reviews/experience out there? Now w/first impressions

[Roky]

I've been going back and forth, what would you say would make choose JKS j kontrol 2.5 over RK adventure series 2.5 and vice versa for someone whos a weekend warrior, but mainly on road. Currently running stock rubi susp on my sport jlu @Wabujitsu @Roky., thanks fellas

Man, Lito, you definitely win the prize for the most research before a lift ever….. ……. I’ve seen you in about every thread, new and old, lol……

For me , I don’t have anything against JKS, they are a great “made in America”company. I just don’t like their approach to caster correction with cam bolts in some of their lifts. Never been a fan of cam bolts no matter what lift.

My main reasons for going with RK was I liked their approach to high clearance with their control arms, I like greasable/rebuildable joints, and I knew my end game was long arms, and at the time, almost 4 years ago now, only RK and Teraflex offered long arms….. so that eliminated MC, Clayton, JKS, AEV, Dynatrac, etc, etc....

Bottom line IMHO, can’t go wrong either way with what you want to do……
Now pick one and g-r-done damn it…..

I know nothing about RK, and I knew nothing about JKS, or any lift kit (other than opinions on the internet) before I got my first JKS lift. So…I went with my mechanic’s recommendation, as he is experienced and I trust him.

I would DEFINITELY go with @Roky ‘s opinion over mine. He is FAR more knowledgeable about these things! I’m just a better driver

Just had the venture hd jks kit installed with fox shocks and some currie front lower control arms. It drives like a champ on the couple of county roads ive had a chance to take it and on regular roads. Cant wait to really get out there when things open up

I have a Clayton lift kit that I swapped out the springs for jks and I’m very happy with it. jks springs and fox shocks. If I would have known I would have gone with a full jks lift from the get go. HD front STD rear springs as jks sells them that way for a diesel.

Hi Rob,

Lift looks great! What’s your measurement now from shock eye - eye upfront and rear? Also which springs did you get? 2.5 or 3.5”?

Thanks!

Im looking to add minimal lift required to cycle 37s and eventually 40s. So no more than 3” lift is what I’d want.
