It rides great! I wish I didn't have E load range tires sometimes and my 37's are not load range E and will be on shortly. I daily it to Detroit everyday and we have crappy roads. The shocks feel great and I believe they will be black bodied going forward.

As for the install I did not install this one RK did while they were using my JL for shock tuning purposes. I imagine it is like any other X-actor install which is pretty straight forward.

The new 2.25's that are coming out have construction similar to the 2.625, more of a true race style construction with double redundant seals etc. instead of trying to be a commodity shock. We are working on new commodity shocks and we will have 2.625 offerings down the road too including Bypass applications.

Here is my JLU Sahara with 35" BFG's and Rock Krawler 2.5" X-Factor lift and RRD 2.25 Shocks. I have 37's waiting to go on it.

What is the backspacing and do you have any rub?

Those are XD Bully with a 4.5" back spacing. I can tell you with confidence that they do not rub with a 35 or 37 on them. My wheels are the same specs with the same lift with a 37/12.50 Ridge Grappler.

Anybody install any of their JL 2.5 Lifts yet? Trying to plan my 2 door build while I wait 4 eternities for my 2 door to be build but am likey going in direction of RK for the lift. I know their JK and previous lifts were great but wanted to get some reviews on the JL ones. Thanks

Yep, I did.
Also put TF 3.3's on it.
Rolling on 35 KM3's fitted to Method NV's

Ride is great.
Street manners very close to stock, I have shocks set on 2 @ 1 setting, (of 8 possible)
Manual sway bar discos are a nice feature, too.

Did 1 quick 30 mile, easy trail shake out with the missus, handled better than I expected.
Going to Sedona soon for more fun,...

Nuff said

Great to hear!

Yep, got my "big boy pants" on and went to work.
:muscle:

Thank you guys for the quick turn around on the upper arm via Marcus.
Really like the build quality of your products.
Will be a repeat offender for sure,......

Finally received my rockkrawler lift for the 2 door jl
Hey that's great.! I've been looking at this kit also. Which version did you get? I for one would like to see some before and after (even during) pictures and some height measurements if you can. Being that they rate the 2,5" on a Rubicon, I'm thinking that might come in at around 4" on a Sport as the Rubicon sits about 1" to 1-1/2" higher.

I'll definitely post some measurements. I work 7 days a week so its gonna be a minute before I get it installed lol fan as the kit goes I got the 2.5 adventure kit. Added the rear adjustable track bar and the sway bar disconnects. Just ordered there new shocks so still waiting on those . Overall the quality is second to none. Imo
