Default RK 2.5 lift ?s

Ok I searched and didn't find the answers to my ?s. I am going with the RK 2.5" stock mod (cause I'm a poor bastard till I start the new job) and need to know what else I'm going to need. Rear track bar, drive shafts, or what else if and hopefully nothing. Already have bilsteins 5100.

You should be fine without the track bars and drive shafts for now.

Why don't you just wait a little longer and get the lift you really want after you start the job? If you bump up the 2.5" max travel lift, you'll get all that you need in one package.

You'll need brake lines, or some kind of drop brackets, and bump stops for sure. Adjustable front control arms should be toward the top of your list, too.

Going with this for now because the sag from the PSC brawler and winch and cost effective. I hit trails but not as often as id like. And thanks for the heads up.

If you have a 4 door, you should be good to go. If you have a 2 door, I would lean a little more towards the 2.5" Mid Arm Flex System.

As you concider upgrading, work your way to the 2.5" Flex System, then to the 2.5" Max. Travel System as your off-roading and or needs progress.....

Thanks for chosing RK>..

Choosing RK wasn't a hard choice especially when IMO if a lift recommends bilsteins its already ahead of the others.
