Rock Krawler 2.5" Adventure Series 1 TT- 4 Door (Wrangler JL 2018+)

[jaozus]

hello, is there anyone on here running this lift kit?

Any feedback? Looking at this lift kit for my '19 Sport S but was wondering if there are any other things that need to be added like new brake lines or control arms

also, for those that are running this set up, is it interfering with the exhaust at all?

Im not running that kit, but I’m familiar with rock krawler, as I’m running the 3.5” xfactor kit. As for your exhaust, as long as you’re using the factory track bar with their bracket you’ll be fine. Also if you want to run their rear track bar with it you’ll have to move the exhaust back a little. I just loosened the clamp and pried it back a 1/2”. There’s plenty of pipe to where it doesn’t come apart or leak. Here’s pics....

Thanks! Which brake lines did you use post-lift?

Also, what is typically the max height before upgrading the brake lines is necessary?

Your factory brake lines should work as long as don’t hook them back up to the lcas, I cut my brackets off with pneumatic cut off wheel. I’ve flexed it to the limit of the shock and no issues.

I’m running the 2.5 adventure series 2 with the TT shocks. Works and rides amazing! like @Roky said no issues with the exhaust with just the stock rear track bar and the RK bracket you will not be disappointed with this kit

Hahahaha haven’t heard that one before lol
It’s a warn 8274 (8000lbs, 2 direction, first model year in 74) she’s a heavy ol girl with looks only a mother could love but it’s quick. Most winches pull line in around 28-30ft per minute, this one is at 72ft per minute

The 8274 is a legend and one of the reasons I won't buy anything but Warn. How many other manufacturers have 40+ year old winches still running strong?

Looking to purchase a RK kit. What's the difference between the Adventure Series and X-Factor series? Also, any recommendations/feedback from the shows included with the Stage 1 and Stage 2 kits?

Adventure series have non-adjustable fixed control arms, whereas X-Factor has adjustable control arms. There may be other differences I don't know about as well.

like the above post said, adventure series has fixed lowers, compared to the xfactor haveing adjustable. Fixed lowers have a 60 degree of misalignment at the ends while the xfactor will have 90 degree. This means the xfactor arms will allow the suspension to flex more without bind, but will require bit more maintenance over the adventure arms especially in the snow belt areas

with a 4 door and at the 2.5” lift height, stage one will work just fine as the rear axle pinion angle won’t change as much. 2 door and/or above the 2.5 I recommend getting the stage 2 with the rear uppers to get the pinion angle back to proper degree
