Rock Krawler 2.5?

[Rock Krawler Suspension]

I have the x factor lift with 37 nitto ridge graps, I'm around 6' 7" with a soft top

Thank you, is yours a 2.5"? That's a little taller than I had thought.

RK 2.5 lift on 35" Nitto R/Gs. About 6'5" with a soft top at the apex.

Yes 2.5, this is when my lift was first installed and I tried to measure right at the apex of the soft top.

I guess 78.5" is more accurate.

@Rock Krawler Suspension for the 2.5" XFactor lift what's the recommended bump stops front and rear for 35" tires? The RK product page only has recommendations for 37" and 38" tires.

Sport and Sahara with Full OEM Fenders
35” Tall Tires (2” Bump Stop Height Recommended)
Sport and Sahara with Trimmed or High Lined OEM Fenders
37” Tall Tires (3” Bump Stop Height Recommended)
Rubicon with Full OEM Fenders
37” Tall Tires (2” Bump Stop Height Recommended)
Rubicon with Trimmed or High Lined OEM Fenders
38” Tall Tires (Up to 40” Tall Tires for Ultra Low COG Stance) (3” Bump Stop Height Recommended)

Are you running a Rubicon? You would probably need 1" bump stop extensions for a 35" tire on a rubi with a 2.5" lift, maybe none at all, it's not a setup that we have tried yet.

Yes sorry, should of mentioned that I'm running the Rubicon model. I'll go ahead and try 1" all around, thanks!

@Rock Krawler Suspension
I was comparing your adventure series arms and x-factor arms and was wondering the only difference is the x factor is adjustable. Is there any difference in the joints? Do the adventure series arms flex/misalign as much as the x-factor? Sorry if the answer is obvious, I'm still learning

Adventure Series lower control arms have a total misalignment capability of 60 degrees, X Factor has a capability of 90 degrees.

Right on, looks like I'll be going with x factor. Thanks for the fast reply!

@Rock Krawler Suspension any tips to relocate ebrake cables? I can't get enough slack in the cable to remove the retaining clip

Are you referring to the expanding clip on the rear axle?

With the parking break off, you should be able to unhook the hook on the back of the brake shields, then, slide a 5/8" nut over the hook and up onto the clip. The 5/8" nut will slide tightly over the clips and help to squeeze them so you can slide it out. One of our engineers found that fun thing out last week.

Thanks! Skipped the ebrake relocation last night, but will get to it tonight. Everything else went together pretty nicely, just some grinding needed for the passenger side front sway bar relocation bracket and had to remove my metalcloak rear diff skid in order to get the rear track bar relocation bracket in. Gained about 2.25" lift right in front of the B-pillar. Hope to flex it out at Rausch this weekend!

@Rock Krawler Suspension Is 2.25 - 2.5" pretty spot on? Hoping so for my garage clearance haha. My 2.5" Adventure is going on my JLUR today with 37s. I have about 5" to spare and leave me 1" clearance. Thanks

We designed all of our JL kits to be nominal lift height so they should be almost exactly 2.5" for a 2.5" lift. You can't control all variables though and certain options will have more or less weight but you're certainly not going to see 3+ inches out of a 2.5".
