There is plenty of room. You don't need a new track bar or anything, the lift really dont move the axle over that much. If you want to get picky RC make track bar drop down brackets. I've been running my RC 2.5 for about 9 months now with no issues. Your rubies shocks should still be fine, unless you just really want to upgrade. That's the thing about Jeeps you can go as mild or wild as you want and as much as your wallet can take. Hope this helps.
so for the time being, the simple light on the pocket spacers work out great? i just didn't want to replace the shocks or springs since they only have 17xxx miles on them.

I have go on a few trails around town. There is one big open dirt field/hills op. Michilin, that's where I took the jk. I took my old truck to a trail in Seneca. I want to take it to te Gulches sometime soon. What size tires are you running on your stock rims with spacers.

That's awesome seeing ppl this close to me

I want some rims for mine, but I love the look of my rubi rims. And I was thinking about spacers too. I would rather spend the money for spacers then 5xs that for some rims. Do you have any pics of your lift before and after?

Looks good still. You can still tell it's got a lift. That gives me an idea of what mine will look like. Did you replace anything else when you put the spacers on?

The kit comes with spacers, brake line brackets, shock extenders and swaybar discos. Ride feels like stock

Did you have to get it aligned after it was installed?
