Rock Krawler 2.5?

[mtnbiker73]

Did you do a steering stabilizer system? Add anything else outside the kit and shocks?

Nope. The factory stabilizer works just fine. I will probably do hydro-assist down the road, if she starts to wheel the tougher stuff. Nothing else was added.

Awesome! Reading the horror stories makes it sound like ya need one for 35” and up tires. Maybe I would if my wife gets her way and we do the 37x13.5/18 NITTO Ridge Grapplers lol

Are you guys at RK still using the same springs as the JK lifts (same part numbers). would that be an efficient spring rate for the lighter jeep?

No sir. They are all 7000 Series parts now. Very very similar to JK up front, but the rear are completely different.

Including the coils themselves?

The valving is very different between the JK and the JL and must be. We posted that a long time ago when people started building JL's. We are confident that when they have their production JL shocks available you will be happy with the valving when being paired with RK coils and products...

On Saturday, I am installing the RK 2.5" Adventure stage 1, TT shocks on a jl sport with 315/70/17 ko2's on stock 7.5" rubi wheels. I saw where RK recommends 4.5" backspaced wheels. Can your rear sway bar link mount on the inside and not on the wheel side to increase clearance? I'm swapping to d44 jl rubicon axles/brakes which are 1.5" wider. I dont want to use spacers if I dont have to...recommendations are appreciated.

That looks great! What RK system is it?

X-Factor Mid Arm with Teraflex 3.3's

I'm running the RK 2.5" X-Factor with the Falcon 3.3 shocks on my wife's 2-door JL and love the setup. Rides really nice and is fully adjustable.

Yep, what he said^^^^^^^

I went with a rough country dual only to get the rock magnet stock stabilizer out of the way.
It was only a bit over a hundred bucks and is just a little stiffer in the steering, no big deal.

Looks good! If you get time, would like some more pics of your set up.

Sorry it took so long, here's some from our latest trip out to AZ.
Did Schnebly trail, (super easy), just to get the Jeep badge deal.
Then we did one called Diamondback, (wife had a few pucker moments since I let her drive)
Also headed up to Flagstaff and the surrounding trails, etc.
Really cool area to explore
