New Rubicon Express 2" Budget Boost

[Stickerhead]

Cool.. I'll give this a try. Also did you relocate the rear roll bar axle mount point? I have two set of instructions for the kit. One said to drill a hole an inch up from factory axle mount point. The other didn't - that was the only difference between the two (strange). I didn't drill.. I measured from center hubs to fender lips and I get 2 to 2 1/16 inches accross all 4 stance points. Havent gotten to freeway speed yet but it drives about the same as stock. Looks great on stock 33s. I'm getting 35s this week.

Roll bar axle mount? Trac bar maybe?

Sorry, I meant sway/stabilizer bar. Uploaded the instructions.. I'll give them a call to get clarity.

I must have missed that or don’t remember doing it. I need to check myself!

Did you get control arms with this as well? I've read that it's needed for 2.5" and higher, but this seems close.

I don't want to leave my 315/70 C rating KO2s, and I know if I got the Mopar lift id want 37s so I'm looking for something along 1-1.5" lift without getting the skyjacker. I was looking at maybe a spacer lift, with Falcon shocks and control arms but im still fairly new to all of this.

I'm in the same boat! Traxda was the first company to make a 1.5/1 spacer lift. I have mine on pre order and it's supposed to ship next week.

Ok, my RE kit only went to step 8. I don’t have any of that on my kit about drilling on the rear sway bar links

Will this kit work on the JL Sahara?

Should. It was not just made for a Rubi. Nothing special about it

Can anyone confirm - with the RE 2.0” spacer kit, is drilling required?

I think you have to enlarge one hole otherwise it is straight forward. The pain is the bumpstop bolt on the passenger side. Hard to get the nut under the perch. Also, remove the front drive shaft at the axle and any connectors at the axles/ brakes. It makes it easier. I dropped both axles down to pull springs and there were a lot of connectors still holding it. I would also put a panduit strap around rear shocks. Pain to get in the shock extender

Now on 37's, same RE 2.0 lift.

I installed this lift and now i have alot creaking sounds coming from left rear, everything is installed correctly. Rubicon express knows about the problem but no fix yet.

 

[Stickerhead]

Mine has been on for two months. No creaking sounds

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