Did I read the web site wrong, or are these gourmet suspension accessories $1500.00 or so for front and rear? Whiskey, tango, foxtrot, over...???

They are 1500 if you spring for the ACOS pros with hydraulic bumpstops but I just got the standard ACOS set up. I looked but it is really hard to justify that much extra money for hydraulic bumpstops.

Talking

If you order the jcos stuff from Northridge...its ALOT cheaper, but yeah, nitrogen charged hydraulic bumpstops are expensive....for the SCORE racers, etc....they pay like $500 a pop, etc.

Thumbs down Yep...

I saw the less expensive version for a JK...still, I can see a $500.00 install charge due to having to cut off and de-burr certain parts of the suspension in order to fit the "cheaper" puppies; I made a decison years ago that if a CJ, TJ, or now my JK cannot be fitted with drop in, bolt on, no cutting, no drilling, or welding of aftermarket mods, then I forgo the mod...I'm not a pro off roader, and see absolutely no need to spend beaucoup dollars on pre-installation modifications that are irreversible, at best; if I cannot restore back to original any mod, then it's no mod I'll be investing in.

I was thinking about adding these to my FT 3" coils to get an extra 1.5"-2" of lift! Is this a good idea? or should i just buy 4.5" coils?

Resurrecting this thread with questions.

Current setup (as it pertains to lift height etc)
2007 JK Unlimited Sahara
Full Traction 3" Ulitmate lift
Fox Remote Reservoir Adj Shocks
JKS Quick Disconnects
Ext. Brake lines
JE Reel 1350 Driveshafts

All of this has been setup for the 3" lift. If I add the ACOS pro and set for 2" front and rear, will my current setup accept the added lift without changing the geometry too much? I'd like to run 37s and this seems a good option. I know the Fox shox will be OK, but I'm betting I'll need new springs.

Will the quick disconnects need to be replaced with longer units? I'm hoping my ext. brake lines will also still work, there is some slack, but not alot.
