Will these still give 1.5" lift with an arb bumper up front and a winch?

What's the actually lift gained with the new 1.5" kits on a 2 door? Is it like the old 2.5s that seemed to give 3.5 on a lighter jeep? Just curious.

Yep. My RK 2.5 netted almost 5" (I have 1" leveling spacers in the front) with front and rear aftermarket bumpers on my 2 door.

Reviving this older thread because I couldn't find the exact one that I was looking for....that gives actual height gained from the 1.5s front and rear on a 2 dr. Can someone help me out or direct me to the right thread? I was thinking of just getting the coils themselves because I've already got the other bits and pieces needed (disconnects, shocks, etc) Thanks guys

Their website gives estimates:

* JK 2 Doors will receive approximately 2.5" of lift up front and 1.5" in the back.

But I believe this is all else stock. Once you add heavy steel bumpers and a winch, it will drop more.

Thanks for this..I did find it after I posted. When all else fails ask the manufacturer..lol

Sounds like they may suit my needs

I've ordered a leveling kit from them, still waiting for it to show up.

I've been debating on when I upgrade to go 1.5" or 2.5". I'm concerned that the 2.5" may lead to a premature failure of my drive shaft. Plus I currently run 33's and only have 3.21 gears. Aside from another inch of ground clearance, there's not much difference, from what I can tell. If I regear and go to 35's, the 2.5" would be better, for sure.

I've just started wheeling, so I don't know where this will take me. But from what I understand, to "upgrade" from 1.5" to 2.5" is just the coils.

Shocks too possibly. They recommend longer travel shocks with their 2.5" systems. Bumpstops may also be needed.

Wow, I love LCG Builds and I like to think thats what I have.

I have flat fenders with 35in tires on my Rubi Red shocks and Eiback Level kit which gave me about 1.5in lift front and 1in rear.
Fullly flexed and disconnected I barely rub and just slightly where I am not concerned about wear on tires.

My question is how would youre $2K system "X" variant offer me more. How much more shock drop over a stock like set-up?
"Maybe a stock set-up has 9in drop and yours offers 15in drop ect......"
