It's hard to decipher which is the old 3.5 kit or today's actual 2.5.

I agree, it seems that most pictures I find are running the older 2.5" kit(Which seems to net 3.5"+ lift.)
I don't want to end up with that much lift on my 2 door, that is why I am hesitant to pull the trigger.
Thanks for the pictures, nice Jeeps!

Looks good!

Looks like you got a lot more than 2.5" lift? Do you have the 2dr specific triple rate springs?
The Green Jeep above looks lower, but it could be the angle of the photo.

Well i bought the 2.5's when they were advertised for both 2 and 4 door 2.5"
The same coils are now listed as 4 door 2.5's and 2 door 3.5's.

2 door 3.5" x-factor. If i were to start over i would go with the 2.5's, trimmed flares, 37's and light trimming if needed.

Current 2.5" with 285/70-17, 3/4" spacers will go into the rear shortly to compensate for the slick spare tire and aluminum bumper.

Looks great! Did you get close to the advertised 2.5" and did your rear springs sag pretty bad or do they have the bow to them?

I got a solid 2.5" up front and the rear coils are ever so slightly bowed. RK looked them over and said everything looked fine. My guess is the leverage of the tire over the coil but they had no specific answer. My solution is the rear spacer when I get time.
