I'm second guessing my decision on this lift because of the tire rubbing issue. I'm trying to avoid domino upgrades (e.g. having to buy new wheels). I'm unlikely to be doing hard-core off roading. I really just want more lift to address the XR bottoming out issue and maybe run 37" tires in the future. I know the RK kit is great, but I think it would work my nerves to have the tires rubbing.

Understood. The Rancho shocks I have would limit travel in both directions:

Front RS999065 - 18.16"/25.21"/7.05"
Rear RS999066 - 19.89"/28.59"/8.7"
Actually one of the best on road riding lifts I’ve done was on my buddy’s sport w/2.0. RK 2,5” springs and my Xfactor arms I sold him and he bought (take off) Fox 2.5 shocks from the Mopar lift from some market place or eBay etc... (can’t buy them off the shelf) They only extend 26.25 but it does pretty good on the ramp……..

Thanks to everyone who replied. I ended up canceling my RK order. Michael was super nice and understanding, so props to Rock Krawler for great customer service. I know the RK kits are amazing and I really wanted to make that work.

I ordered a Clayton Off Road Overlander+ 2.5" lift with Fox 2.0 shocks. I think this kit will be a better fit for my goals and self imposed constraints.
