Default Rock Krawler experts?

A guy in my Jeep club has a new 3.5 mid arm flex system for sale. It's brand new, has 5100 shocks and is for a 4 door. The problem is I have a 2door, I looked at their website and didn't see different springs, just wanna make sure it will be ok before I jump on it. Thanks!

Keep in mind that the lift will be typically an inch higher on your 2dr vs the 4dr. If you're lacking heavy mods front and rear then you may pick up a little more lift.

The RK kits are the same for the two door or the four door. What is he asking? We can tell you if its a good price or not.

^^ didn't know that, I had read differently elsewhere but obviously a vendor would know better.

The lift with Bilstein 5100s is $1k, all still in boxes. I think it's a great price.

That is a steal. You should jump on that ASAP.

They are the same kit as in will bolt in the same. Your statement is correct because the 2 door is not as heavy as the 4 door so you will achieve a little bit higher lift height.

Yeah, that's like over half off what it would cost buying it from a vendor. Please let me know if you pass on it cause I will take that!
