RK 2.5 X factor install

[Martindfletcher]

Hey Marcus, put 'em on and let me know about the blinker.
Not sure it's bright enough or if it's DOT approved.

Here in Commiefornia, the LEO's sometimes give a sh*t about what we do to our vehicles.

I mean, running the 395 towards Mammoth with front tinted windows will get you a better than 50/50 chance of getting stopped and cited if you can believe it.
3 times for me so far.

Sometimes I am glad we have real crime in SoCal. Our chances are less than 50/50

There are a lot of good tips here. I wish I saw them before my install. I didn't have any major problems, but it would've saved some time. I'm going to use a really small hole saw to drill room for the zirk fitting on that one control arm. I do have a question for the original poster... Where did you put the straps for the front sway bar disconnects? I'm waiting for RK to send me some photos, but they haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks,
Ray

Bolt the straps to the stock hole in the front of the OEM spring bucket. Jeep put one there just for us!

Awesome! Thank you!

Also, for those who have Rubicons are you going to use the manual disconnects or the e-discos still? RK says extra articulation could damage the e-disco.

 

[Rock Krawler Suspension]

Yes, on the Rubi's with long travel shocks you can over travel the usage of the E disco so manual disco will be recommended for high articulation demands. For mild stuff the E disconnect is just fine. We may be working on something that will work for just rubi models right now that are pretty bad ass....

Sorry I'm late! I don't know what you're referring to on the lights... I was talking about Falcon 3.3s LOL

I received them but haven't installed them yet.

RK,

Would Falcon 2.1 series shocks be considered long travel?

Thanks!

That is a series of shock, not the travel of the shock. The travel is important..

This thread has the lengths

What would happen if you over travel the E disconnect? I just installed a 2 1/2 in lift with longer travel shocks on my JLUR.

 

[Rock Krawler Suspension]

More than likely you will just bend a sway bar link.

Oh, yeah, I thought you were speaking of the trim delete on the front fender, thus needing the little LED lights for side marker and turn signal.
No worries,....

Now that's funny, I actually thought that was what that hole was for.
The instructions don't jive with my kit, but when I saw the hole there I thought, well, that's the spot.
