Need help with rubi build
Hey guys new to forum and just bought my first jeep. 2010 rubicon 2dr manual. Pretty much decided on rock krawler 2.5" max pro lift and going to run 35x12.5 Baja MTZ on MT Sidebiters. Already ordered RR XHD stubby winch bumper and Recon winch. Thinking on 1" BL too. Looking for advice on what other mods I might need. Adjustable parts ect. Thanks for the help.

Oh yea also forgot to mention this jeep will se decent. Amount of mud and a little bit of trails. I'd say 70-75% highway and and the rest off road. Basically at work for a month then home for 2 weeks and will go wheeling at least a couple of times in that 2 weeks.

welcome to the forum. since you got everything purchased already. you may want to build it up and drive it for a while. never know. it may drive like poop butt or like cheery pie.

Thanks for the quick replys. I guess my main question is whether or not I need any additional adjustable parts than what comes with this lift.

some good recovery gear, might think about re-gearing.
maybe some protection - rock rails, evap skid, steering relocation bracket.
def. extend your breather hoses.
some seat covers to help keep the interior clean, or at least easier to clean than the stock cloth.
will most likely need control arms and new drive shafts with that amount of lift on your 2 door. i believe adjustable uppers front and rear are the minimum? not exactly sure on the bare minimum needed there.

Thanks grim. I'll have to look into the uppers this kit comes only with adj lowers front and rear. I am aware of the gearing and some gussets on front axle. Planning on 5.13 but will have to deal with 4.10s for awhile.

For the trackbars, a rear adj would be better than the bracket, but not really a big deal.
