Hit them with a clear coat of paint, that helps.

Quick question! I'm looking at the 2" sport lift kit with the 9000xl. I'm also looking into an aftermarket front bumper / winch combo. Would I need a leveling kit to accommodate the extra weight if I ran the 2" sport lift?

We built this system with the thoughts of JK owners upgrading their front and rear bumpers. The front is closer to 2.5" or so.
One thing that can make it look "off" is depending on what the rear stock spring number is. If it is a lower numerical number it may sit with the reverse rake. Just an FYI on that.

I think I might just replace the stock rear coils with a set of RK. Which number should I be looking at to compliment my 2" sport lift?

I "think" this is the correct P/N RK04187.

Default just installed Rancho 9000 series shocks and a Daystar 1.75" spring spacer lift

Love the ride. Definitely notice a difference compared to the stock sport shocks. The Daystar lift, though modest, gives a more aggressive look. Happy with the outcome as far as the look and quality of the ride.Click image for larger version

Rancho I purchased your 31/32 9000xl, but at the same time I purchased synergy bar pin eliminators not even thinking I won't be able to use them with the 32s. What do I need to convert my 32s to a standard bushing so I can run the bar pin eliminators?

Thanks!

You just need the bushing right?
Look at RS980 this is a 5/8" straight wall bushing.

I can't tell, do these come with the metal bushing sleeve or are they just the rubber bushing? I assume I want the metal sleeve type. Also how does one go about getting the old out and the new in?
