Wife has a 2019 rubicon 2 Dr. Basically a pavement princess. We put a rough country 2.5 lift on it now rear is sagging. Looking to put a better lift on it. Very little off roading mainly used for travel. Need decent ride quality and a level look. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I

A lot of companies sell leveling kits (spacers) that can be used to get the rake you are looking for. Just know that the higher you go, the worse the ride quality will become. What size of tires are you running?

How much is it sagging in the rear? Buy that sized spacer for the rear. You'll be back at whatever height you need and it will cost very little and you won't have to change any other parts because it will be back to the original lifted height. Don't overthink it.

My wife was told they couldn't put spacers on the rear with a rough country 2.5 lift. I thought that odd, but it was said.

Have you ever heard the song, "I Don't Give a F*ck About They"? It's pretty good. Not sure it's relevant in this case, but I like it.

I'd skip the spacers as part of your issue is that RC is junk more or less. If you want quality and don't mind the price Clayton siggestion is a good one. You can also just do a spacer kit or even Rancho 2" for your needs.

Exactly why I made the suggestion.
Remove the RC problem altogether, start fresh with a moderate suspension upgrade and be done.

My wife has 2.5” spacers all the way around on 35s. Spacers, end links, and shock extensions. That’s it, everything else is stock. Been riding that way for 6 years now with no complaints. She’s got 3 badges along with several other trails under her belt. Might be an option for you as well.

No reason to start over if it's a pavement princess, unless you like spending money for something you don't need and won't ever notice. Unless you need something more than height, don't bother with a new "system".

People are trying to sell you filet mignon when all you need is pickles on your burger.

Just add a heavy winch to the front to level it out. ;)
