Got us a RC 2.5 suspension lift kit.

Hubby installed it on Sunday and Monday I got a surprise again (this Jeep was a surprise) getting 35" tires installed.
Here's the pics:

Silly question.... How tall at your highest point are you now? (I want to do this lift with Rubi takeoffs, and want to make sure i can still fit in my parking garage at work.)

I have the same lift with 35s and I fit in my regular 7ft garage at home. With some extra room

Same lift and tire set up here. I measured my highest point at right under 6'4". Lowest parking garage I've pulled in to had a 6'6" height listed with no issues

Can you post more pictures at different angles, trying to get a better idea of the 2inch wheel spacers.. especially directly behind. I'm contemplating on the 2inch RC, or the 1.75 spidertrax when they're back in stock. Thank you

Hard to get a good full rear picture to show the tires but I took some to try

Like night and day different from the rough country shocks much smoother not so rough ride and seems to handle better have only had about 20 mins driving so far but could tell a huge difference right away

Saw the option on RC site for the N3 shocks to add in with the 2.5 spacer lift... is it necessary to get those too or will be good with the stock shocks?

No real off roading here other than beaches and some dirt trails now and then. Just want to keep the ride smooth

The fox shocks feel softer to me when on a bumpy road or if you hit a pot hole and seem to handle better then the factory ride. It’s hard to explain they are softer on bumps but stiffer in turns. Really liking them so far.
