Default JKU 2015 - Is an exhaust extension needed for a 2.5" lift kit RC with fox 2.0 shocks?
Hello,

This will be my first time lifting my 2015 JKU rubicon. Is an exhaust extension needed for a 2.5" lift kit RC with fox 2.0 shocks?

Thanks !

depends on how long the shocks are and whether disconnected or not. With long shocks your front ds will hit on the exhaust cross over.

you will have to find out what the extended length is. if over 26" you will probably hit.

looks like only 25.15" on the fronts so most likely will be ok but only way to be sure is to droop your front wheels after the shocks are installed.
