RK 1.5" stock mod kit
Does anyone have any pictures of the 1.5" RK stock mod lift kit on a 4 door jk? I'm looking to purchase this kit for my JKU and plan on running 33s wit it. I've searched high and low on forums and haven't been able to find anything. I know it's a newer kit, it just seems like a lot of people aren't running it.

Thanks for the pics...how much net did you get out of this kit? I'm just debating if 33s would look too small with this kit now. Your guys 35s look perfect for the height.

Sadly I forgot to measure before I did any mods so I have no idea. Plus I have extra weight from bumpers, winch, and skids so that will affect height a little. 33's would look good with stock flares with the lift.

Initially I gained about 3.5" in the front and 2.5" in the rear. Since it's settled I'm at about 2.5" fr and 1.5-2" rear (no extra weight from bumpers/winches/etc.. which RK takes into consideration). I ran 35's with the flat flares before the lift and it looked good, I imagine the lift, 33's and stock flares would look good. Although, I'm sure you won't regret going to 35's, I'm leaning towards 37's for my next set. Here's a comparison shot(Top = After lift)

I have done both the RK 1.5" and 2.5" if you are going to end up adding bumpers and winch and keep stock fenders I would recommend going with the 2.5" kit.
2.5" here. Trust me you will end up with 35's anyway especially if you live in Utah.
1.5" here.

True, only thing holding me back from 35s is the need to re gear. Did you notice any loss when you started running 35s?

I have 4.10's with auto and no issues at all. I can chirp the tires from a red light if I want. My buddy has 3.73's with the same set up and he says he is happy. We both started with the 1.5" lift and after our second trip to Moab we both ended up going up to the 2.5" and much happier.
