Am ready to get a new lift soon and am pretty sure that the rk is what I want...probably upgrade ca's down the road. I am only worried that the ride is too high. Anybody have this on a 2 door? And what actual height are you getting? I've also considered the Evo enforcer kit as that may run around the same height. I would love to hear more about this kit if anyone knows, but I've had a tough time finding reviews from a similar rig. It's hard to justify spending a few hundred more without enough info.
Thanks

The RK kits are now 2 door/4 door specific so you will gain right around 2 in the front and 3 in the back evening it out to about 2.5" total.

Yep about 3"

Rk 2.5" stock mod here- front steel bumper, steel oil pan, rubi rails, aluminum rear bumper, full-size spare. So a little more weight up front and not too much more in the back.

I'm at 2.5" on the nose going from the "jeep jk stock measurements" you can find on google images. I also run 33's like you do.

I have RK 2.5 stock mod and added front lower ca's that's a year old. I gained 3.25" in height and my jeep is stock. No bumpers or armor!! I run 35" mud grapples. Can easily fit 37's if wanted too. That's when RK springs were more than advertised. If still interested I got a set of the old 2.5" triple rate springs brand new never used only for sale on the forum. Again you would gain more than the specified 2.5"!!

I netted right at 3" with a stubby bumper and winch in front and sits level

My younger brother has a 1.5" RK triple coils that were on my jkur on his 14 sport 2door and he got exactly 2.5" up front with a heavy front bumper and winch and 2.5" in the back with stock bumper, gas tank skid and some other under armor.. He runs 285/75-16 micky Thompson atz's so pretty true 33" tire.

So with the current kits coming from them should I expect about 3 inches? I have a winch and eve steel bumper, but not too much other weight...also what shocks are you guys running these with? I'm torn between the bilstein 5100's or fox 2.0's. Ive heard mixed reviews on both of them, would love an opinion from someone who's rode with both or at least felt both.

That's not so level. Looks exactly how my sagging 2.5 sits. Think I'm gonna throw 3" springs in the rear to truly level out.

I had a saggy rear on my 2.5" max travel rk lift and added angled spacers at the bottom of the coil to remove the bowed rear springs and I am level again and ride much better. I think the rk sag issue is due to the triple rate coil being bowed causes an overly soft ride in the back.
