Rubidon,
Its the Full Traction spacer lift. This was my fifth lift to install. The other four were on my TJs. It took an afternoon, but I'm old and arthritic. The JK is easier to work on than the TJs though.
Phishjeep,
It's a 2" lift with 2" bumpstop extensions and only a 1 1/2" tire radius increase. Along with the 17 x 5 with a 5" BS wheel I get no rubbing.
I did trim the air dam some.

Rubidon,
I kept the factor shocks for now. What this means is that I have 2" less travel than stock. But these Rubi shocks are so much better than the previous Rubi shocks. This is my third Rubi. Somewhere I read that they are variable valving like Edelbrocks. In any event when I find out more about them, I want the replacement shocks to work like they do. So far I'm still searching. But for street use the limited travel isn't noticeable.
