I went the budget route ... RC 2.5" spacer kit.
Here are a few pics. I really like the new look ... noticeable, but subtle.

Front driver's side ... view from front. 2.5" spacer above spring, and replacement sway bar link.

Taking this pic, I see a little outward bow in the spring similar to what I've read about the mopar lift. What I don't know is whether the springs had this slight bow prior to adding the spacers. The end of the coil on top of the spring is nested into the rubber ring just like it was before adding the spacer. I'll keep an eye on it, and on the JLWF lift threads.

I also want to find a quick disconnect solution for the sway bar links. How does the Rubi disconnect & reconnect with the flip of a switch??

Looks good!

Are the uppers/lowers seated properly? I have no visible bow on my kit...

Good to know.

I was careful with positioning the springs when I installed it ... made sure end of coil rotated to meet the stopper. Maybe it unseated with a little raising and lowering when I was re-attaching shocks? I'll raise it this weekend and fiddle with the springs.

This might be a question no one can answer yet but does anyone have any predictions on how a kit like the Rock Krawler 2.5s which usually net more like 3.5 from my understanding on JK 2 doors will work with the JL 2 door drive shafts?
