I would contact Northridge4x4, I got a complete stock mod 2.5 kit with bilstein 5100 shocks, rear coil correction wedges, bump stops and spring clips front and rear for under 800. It was a complete kit ready to go. Only thing I bought seperation were brake line drop brackets.

I would highly recommend the rock crawler springs. With the dual rate springs it rides better then it did stock.

Here in Canada the Stock mod kit is almost $800 but with all the recommendations I am considering it.
I do like the dual rate springs they offer.

Nope, still on the stock drive shafts even. Now the boot did get chewed up pretty quickly, but I've been running without it for quite some time with no issues. Make sure to throw some grease in it every once in a while.

I'm guessing from this answer, then, that money is your concern. For all the stuff I listed there, I spent about $1100, including shipping. And I can build on what I already have, so it's not money lost by any means. For another $1000, I can have upper and lower RK control arms, which would then pretty much complete my lift. And I'll go this route soon, as I previously mentioned that my stock control arm bushings are wearing. Don't quite understand what you mean by "Looking for something more complete"....Yes, you may be ordering separate parts that come in different boxes, but you'll install them all at the same time and be happy with the results.

But it's your rig and your money.....gotta' do what suits you best, man.

I bought the 1.5" Max Travel kit for my 09 JKU from Northridge. It had 80K miles on it so I figured the LCAs and TB bushings were getting worn and could be replaced anyway. The LCAs and TB are really beefy. I like the ride but feel the 5100 shocks may be a little firm.

It's actually a triple rate spring!! Thanks for the great responses, we're flattered.

As everyone had mentioned lower control arms, bumpstops, and shocks are all recommended. This kit was designed initially as a fix kit for someone who already had a lift on their vehicle with some sort of caster correction and wanted an improved spring. If not a Flex system is a great option. It will include the front lower control arms for caster corrections.

As some have said, Northridge 4x4 is a great sales outlet for Canada. They have shock and bumpstop packages put together for your vehicle and our lift kits. Also, the majority of items are in stock and ready to ship.

Good luck with the lift and let us know if you have any further questions.
