Rock Krawler 2.5" Stock Mod Installed
Well, got my new lift on today and I thought I'd share my before and after pics as well as some of my thoughts on it. The before pics have a 1.75" lift in the front and nothing in the back. The kit comes with coils, a new front trackbar, and rear trackbar bracket(not needed, anyone wanna buy it?)

The install went very easy and only took me 3 hours and would have gone faster if I would have had an air rachet, since I couldn't fit my impact wrench everywhere. The front trackbar is very beefy and well made. I did not install the rear track bar bracket since there was virtually no axle shift back there and IMO if I would have installed the bracket it would have over corrected. My ride has improved SIGNIFICANTLY!!! My stock coils were toast with about 55k on them. I have not noticed any additional flightiness in the steering either, so I'm rethinking getting lca's. All in all I'm very pleased.

Lookin' good! it' time for bigger tires!
likin' the flat flares too.
i love my RK kit. the track bar bracket on the rear went on alright and the axle is not off that much at all with it installed. Where'd you get your shocks?

Got them from Dave at northridge. They're very well built. Yeah, I'm just waiting on my tires to wear out, only about 10,000 miles to go until 35's

I have a 2 door, and I am very much considering this kit. I was wondering how much more lift I would get if I opt for the the 4 door 2.5 stock mod kit instead of the 2 door version?
Just to get a little bit stiffer spring to compensate for the bumpers and the GOBI roof rack.
Any thoughts???

RK told me that the 2Drs get about 1/4" more height than the 4 Drs.
So looks like the 2dr shout get approx. 3" in the front & 2.5" in the rear.
Anyone ever take b4 and after measurements on this kit ? Both 2dr & 4dr?
