One other question. Do I need backspacing on a 37" STT if I go with 12.50 on Rubicon wheels?
I would run a 4.5in or less backspacing.

You wont need spacers if you adjust your steering stops. You can use your factory wheels.

The RC lift is high quality and rides just like factory, but you call tell your center of gravity is higher, effecting handling very slightly. The alignment was in spec and the thrust angle was only 0.07 degrees off of center(better than most cars from factory)

Tires are 295/70/17 Yokohama G003 e load. Super quiet, can’t brlieve it. Very happy with both purchases.

Installed the RC 2.5" Kit on my Wifes JL and she didn't notice any difference in the ride quality :like:
I ordered a set of wheels, just need to decide on what tires we want to run. Trying to keep the ride as smooth as possible.

I've got my RC spacer lift installed with 35s. It'll hold me over until more reviews for the higher end kits are out. Im hoping the Rock Krawler kit is as solid as the ones for the JK.

Nice-looking jeep. What size tires are those?

Does it rub? Thinking of doing the same.
No sir. I adjusted the steering stops a couple turns and will flex out perfectly.

Push down on the hub as you pull up on the springs. Make sure the suspension is fully drooped.

Any rub flexed? I have my lift on the way but I’m debating the 35’s or 37’s
