Need some advise on my build going forward. I'm have a 2012 JKU with 2.5" RK coils, Bilstein 5100 shocks, RK front track bar and am running 285/75/17's on Rubi wheels. It's time to deplete the Jeep fund again so wondering what to add to the lift next. I'm consider RK front lower control arms, rear track bar bracket, and spring retainer clips but don't know how much difference these items will make. Also just ordered some wheel spacers to cure the slight rub I have at full turn. Any help on this decision would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

unless our shocks are really long you don't need spring retainers. I have a 2.5" RK lift with long shocks (fronts extend to 27.2" and rears to 28.2") and at max droop or flex the coils do not unseat. I went with a rear Tera Flex track bar relocation bracket. I am also using TF fixed length fca and have perfect caster/pinion angle.

I appreciate the info and need to go and look at the specs on my shocks to check the lengths. Also, is there a particular reason you went Teraflex over the RK arms? Thanks

You might want to consider some rock sliders and skid plates. You could lengthen your stops instead of installing wheel spacers. I bought the RK Max Travel kit which came with the RK LCAs.

If you get CAs, get the new RK joints.

yes I knew I was never going to go taller on a lift and the TF sport control arms correct caster at 2.5-3" of lift and use OEM bushings (I got around 2.75" actual lift and caster is 3.9* which is what it was measured at when stock). No adjustment necessary and very nice quality. Cheaper too at $165 after forum discounts most places. Been off road several times and pleased as can be. On road it is better then stock.

Okay, I appreciate the info. I received the RK lca's in the mail yesterday and the Teraflex kit should arrive Monday. Gonna take a look at them and decide. I do imagine I'll end up going to a 3.5" lift in the future so the RK's might be a smarter choice. Thanks again
