They measure 33" on the jeep 35 psi. Check out my profile for other suspension components I used. You don't need it all but you do need some stuff like rear brake line extension brackets and front and rear links are nice.

Perfect! You've convinced me to stick with a 2.5" lift instead of getting a 1.5" leveling kit. Looks good! Obviously there's a benefit to getting longer shocks, but how bad is it to get shock adapters instead?

I had 33's. With a 2.5" lift I don't have pics of them now. But if you have the stock flares on they look nice on it. Even with bush whakers they will look ok.

Ya it was either cut the flares, or get a lift kit for clearance. But, as most jeep owners do, I love the look of a lifted rig. I know it's a bit more costly than just trimming my fenders, but you can't go wrong with lifting a jeep

Shock extensions are expensive for what you get. I found the red stock shocks with stock springs stiff. M95's were cheap enough from quadratec. Ome or bilstien would be a good choice. I am very happy with what I have. If I was to do it over again I would one stop shop from Stan at northridge4x4.ca

I have a 2010 rubicon and I just put in a rough country 2 1/2" lift, I got the budget boost it came with springs and shocks for $ 360 and I had to buy break line extenders for $ 10 and rear sway bar extension for $ 40 . I rides nice and looks great too

Looks like it squats a bit in the back. Is that normal for the TF 2.5" ?
