Default Rock Krawler 2.5 Stock Mod Coils?

This kit is going on a 2dr JK Rubicon. So I just got my kit in and the coils I received are 1.5" coils for a 2.5 inch lift. Seems weird to me. Can anyone give me some insight. Rock Krawler, Rivercity Off-road.

They are 1.5" for a jku, 2.5 for a 2 door. People were complaining about additional unwanted lift on 2 doors so Rock Krawler lists them 2 door/ Jku specific now.

I have those same coils on my 2dr and they do net exactly 2.5" up front and the top of the door is dead level to the ground. I'm adding 3/4" spacers in the rear for aesthetics but it did lift as advertised.

Just got the lift installed. It came out good. Only it leans to the right. I know the gas tank is on that side and it had a 1/4 tank and still a lean. Any thoughts?

Mine has done it since the day I installed mine too. As well as having quite a bit of rake. Mine are the 2.5" coils though.

I have always struggled with a pass side lean! I had the same issue with my Teraflex setup. I'm going to remove my rear isolator and add a 3/4 spacer to the pass side and try to compensate for it... Northridge 4x4

The passenger side lean can be caused and cured a few different ways. Typically the lean is from a full fuel tank, oversized bumper mounted tire carrier, preloaded sway bar, or a track bar alignment issue. A small lean is acceptable and will occur naturally. If the lean seems great, make sure your axles are centered under the vehicle (track bars adjusted properly and/or the installation of the rear bracket).

I went to do a coil swap yesterday. Didnt pan out (coils not as tall as advertised). I measured in 2 places and it was dead even. Odd because previously i had as much as 1/2 lean. I then noticed my tank was empty. Usually 3/4 to full. How much gas DOES make a difference.
