Upgrading a basic lift kit

[Bryce C]

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased a 2018 JLUS, I pretty much immediately put in a zone 3” lift kit, JKS control arm drop bracket and a RC adjustable front track bar. I’m looking to upgrade the kit I have, while still using some of the parts that are already on the jeep. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Can you post a link to the specific lift you installed so we know what parts were included?

What are you looking to improve?

Height, flex, ride?

What tires/wheels are you running? Any rub currently inside the fenders?

How much you looking to invest?

right now I’m running 35x12.5r18 toyo R/T on black rhino wheels. No rubbing made sure I got the proper back spacing . Honestly right now it doesn’t really matter wife gave me the go ahead to build it however I want it. In the new year I’ll be going with take off rubicon axles

Assuming the included bump stop extensions are 2” in the front, you need to look for a minimum extended shock around 18.25” or less and as close to 29”, but not over if you want to keep the stock driveshaft , extended as you can get.
Really, you have that in your current front shocks (if I pulled the right stats) if you add 2” extensions. Several options of varying price in that range for a new set.
