With my 33's and this lift, I didn't have to adjust anything after the lift, it was all dead center, maybe I was just lucky?

As an update to this kit, so far it has been worth every penny.

I understand the limitations of this kit, and for what it is I still recommend it if you are in my situation, which is basically what I consider to be a performance leveling kit with a small lift
I was able to get a free pair of rear links from another member to get my front sway bar closer to level as well so that helped too.

And the shocks work... for DD'ing and when the wife is driving it I run 1 in the front and 3 in the rear.
After a week of keeping it there i adjusted it to 8/10 and almost immediately noticed a difference in ride quality while on the road, much stiffer. Now i just need to get off road!!!


My only negative is to anyone with a stock bumper, there is a 1/4 inch difference higher in the front.
Which is especially concerning if you tow a lot, because with my 2 door, I had MAJOR backwards rake when towing with the TF leveling kit and 18/57 springs





I know Rancho said they take custom front bumpers into consideration, so if you don't tow this kit is perfect

This is a great product. I have the 3'' lift by Rancho on my 2007 JKU . Love the leveled look!

Can't wait for amazon to start carrying the 2dr kit. Hopefully they get it before the rebate deal ends. :eek:

I am not too sure when it will happen. But I do know that guys are buying the 4 door from Amazon and buying a 1.75" (and I hear a 2" spacer) and STILL coming out WAY ahead than other options.

Ok cool, I might end up doing that then. Just to clarify, the 4dr and 2dr coils are the same?

So I attached my trailer today, and with the hard top on there was definitely some backwards rake going on, and i only have a single place stand up jet ski trailer, its not even that heavy.
If I were to replace the .75" space with a 1.75" spacer, what else if anything would/should I fix on the rear end?

I'm assuming some new links for a start, but not sure if anything else.
