This is what i am thinking i am going to do after much thought and debate on my 2Dr Rubicon:

2.5" TF BB
M-Force Shocks
35x12.50x17 BFG M/T
MT Classic II or ProComp's

or

2.5" SkyJacker
M-Force Shocks
35x12.50x17 BFG MT
MT Classic II or Pro Comp

Is it ok to put the M-force's on with stock coils or would i be better with stock shocks?
What is the concensus on the 2.5" SkyJacker Kit?
Thoughts?

 

The M-Force work great with the stock coils. That will be a nice setup.

 

spend a little extra and go with the 3" even if you just get the econo version, I ran the 2.5" for a while then switched to the FT econo kit and it rides much better than the 2.5" spacer kit. The spacer kits don't adress things like end-links and track bars brackets. Well the FT 2" kit comes with a front track bar bracket but its the same bracket as they give with the 3" kit so iono how good it is.

 

Yeah, i guess after adding the suspension up the total cost would be just under the econo and would get more for the money.
I know this has been addressed, but what is the trackbar situation on the Econo?

 

I agree with TEV. At this point, you should really consider going with a basic 3" lift if you can like what FT makes. I think you will find you'll get a bit more bang for your buck and the ride you will have with the new coils + shocks will be an significant improvement over stock.

 

Well, if you can afford it, I would get a new adjustable front track bar. If you can't, I would probably just leave the bracket off.

 

What about the rear, leave off the bracket if not getting adjustable? And to clarify... if going with new bars, is the bracket still not used, and does this apply for most 3" kits?

 

Sorry, I should clarify that I would just leave the front one off. The rear one is perfect and does the job great especially since it is mounted to the frame and not the axle like other kits have and have been shown to break. If you install new bars, you do not need the relocation brackets.

 

ok thanks, i think that is what i shall do then. what shock would you recommend and where on earth can i find the best price?

 

I agree 100% the FT 3" econo kit + front track bar is what I am running right now. Rides just like stock. The rear bracket is fine so i wouldn't worry about that. It will be a little more expensive than the spacer kits but you will be happy you spent the extra money.
