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:

It looks GREAT! It is amazing what a small lift and a bigger tires do for the looks on the JL!

Yep exactly. I think it should look this way stock.

Anyway, thank you guys, you did a good job. If I want to upgrade shocks, what do you have, so I can eliminate the extensions.

We will have our N3 shock in about 2 weeks for the 2.5in lift.

One more thing I forgot to mention.
Speed is off approx 2.5 mph over, no need to have it recalibrated, it's a measure I can live with

Your speedometer is not off by an exact value. It becomes less accurate the faster you go. The best way to measure it is by percentage. Since you're running 35s, you'll be off by roughly 6%. That being said, your speedometer will be pretty accurate on city streets where you're typically at or below 40mph.

It's being on highways that'll make it largely incorrect. For example, at 75mph, your speedometer will read around 70, but on a neighborhood street where you'll be at 20-25mph, your speedometer will be off by no more than one, if not less.

Yes that's correct, I measured right at 50mph v cruise and had approx 2.5 to 3 mph difference on GPS app

Trying to decide on tires...35’s or 37’s. I’m a fan of the Rubi wheels and might try to keep them if possible. Here’s my Rubi with RC lift on stock wheels and tires.

You can go 35 on same wheels.
37 will be to much modification from stock, lots of things will change, gearing, mileage, etc
