Sucks, sorry bro.

Same here, mid Feb and it's been great, weird. Can't even imagine what it could be unless an isolater was left off.

That was my thought

I installed yesterday! I could not figure out for the life of me what they wanted me to do with the rear sway bar links... I left it alone. Should be okay?

 

[My#8andlast]

Yea, drop spacers for the front, according to them nothing needed in the rear and no loss in down travel.

 

[Stickerhead]

Yes. The spacers are for front sway bar. Their kind of cheese. Should have used longer links

I bought the RC lift kit for less than half of the Rubicon Express one.

It's called a 2.5" because it takes the .5" rake out of the front and then lifts it 2". So technically it is a 2" lift.

It comes with 4 new sway bar links instead of dropping the sway bar. The rear links and front links are noticeably longer than factory and keep the sway bar in the correct position.

So for $180 bucks you get a more complete kit with RC. Have had it on for over a month now with long highway trips and an off road excursion with no probs.

I have the JKS quick disconnects, so I just adjusted accordingly.

I see they cover anywhere from 2.5" to 6" lift. How is that possible since they don't look adjustable?

They are adjustable.

Oops, I looked at these which were for a YJ, but it is still odd that it would fit a 2.5" - 6" lift.

Just pulled the trigger on it today. Super nice kit, heavy duty shock extensions. 4Wheel Parts guys were impressed with the quality.

How'd you get a top with the gutters reach that far back? My JL stops at the passenger seats and dont won't the rails to go on the freedoms

That's weird. Do the newer ones not go all the way back? Mines an early 18. I was glad to see it because the JK's didn't.

Head scratching... you sure you don't have a JK
The JL gutters go from back to front.
