That's the same page I've been using and if you click on the 2.2 shocks it takes you to the lift. Again I'm trying to just buy the shocks??

Thank you for all the responces. My guy figured it out, had to adjust the lower control arm to fix the caster angle. DCBLEW you were right on. Jeep rides great now and looks awesome. Had some rubbing on the front plastic skirt, so I took it off. Also rubbed on the brake line but bent them back a bit and everything is perfect now.

Thanks

Just make sure the monkey has a torque wrench and some jack stands.

Call up RC. They do sell the shocks separately--that's how I ordered them a week after deciding I needed them, too.

Go to the contacts and email Jeff, he'll help you out. You can buy the shocks separate, just phone em or email them...

Default I got wobble/shimy after install

I installed the RC 2.5" last weekend and the first thing I noticed was the the shimmy/wobble....front tires began wearing quick as well..
Thought maybe it was just the front tires so I rotated them.... still there.
I did get more than the estimated 2.5" of lift as well.... I got about 3 to 3.25" all the way around.
What do you guys think? Track bar? I'm not seeing the wander, it's straight as arrow, so caster not the issue.
Just need to get this wander squared away before the install of the 35", hate to spend all that money only to have them burn off because of this lift kit.
Thanks,
HEFTY

Uh, how did you get more lift than 2.5" up front and 2" in the back? Did you stack other pucks in there too? Make sure your springs are seated down all the way. I think the weight of the Jeep would do this, but then again, I'd hate to be going 70 mph down the road and have a spring drop out from under the Jeep because it wasn't seated correctly. Pics of your install?
