Hey guys I just got an amazing deal on a 3.5" Rock Krawler coilover kit with remote res. Whole front kit for 1k. Anyways, Im looking to build off these coilovers What all do i need to lift my 2012 JKU Rubicon other thant these coil overs. Here is what i know so far

front and rear sway bar extensions
rear springs
front track bar
rear track bar bracket
brakelines front and rear
shocks rear
front adjustable lower arms
bumpstops front and rear

I will be wanting to go to a long arm setup So if I could get Rock Krawler to respind to this i would be totally greatful!

Also i would like to hear everyones opinion on the coil overs.

You've got a pretty solid list there. Rock Kralwer does recommend their long arm setup over short arm to make the coil overs work to their potential. We have guys use the short arms without an issue though, but I would pair a set of uppers with them. I would also recommend replacing the front driveline if you have not already.

On a related note, Northridge, what kind of feedback are you getting on the RK coilovers? Seems all I ever hear about are the Evos, but how are people liking the RK setup? I ask because the Evo ones probably add more lift than I'm wanting. I have a 2 door and absolutely don't want more than 3" of lift.

Anyhow sorry to the OP for hijacking. Can't wait to hear how you like the coilovers.

they are both a great setup for sure! Give us a buzz sometime and we can discuss it.

We would recommend going long arm with coilovers you can do a simple long arm upgrade and purchase the remaining parts separately. Or, if you would like, you can buy the complete lift kit and remove the front coil springs. Northridge can actually do this for you. The majority of factory rubber bushings will not last with long travel coilovers.

The end game is a long arm kit, but i want to build it right now while im saving for the long arm kit. What are the parts or kits you would order to get me there until I get the money for the Longarm later down the road?

I've been running the RK CO fronts over a year the rears maybe six months. I was running them with a short arm lift and the ride was stiff. Over the last two weeks I put in their long arm kit and the on road ride has gotten substantially smoother. I haven't taken it wheeling yet so I can't speak to a difference there.

ive been running RK coilovers for years with a RK long arm kit.. also have rear coilovers... love them. i would recommend getting the long arm setup if you can. you will love the adjustability of the RK coilovers.
