Do you have a 2 door or 4 door?

Sorry it took so long to get back --busy week.

Before are before and after pics for the Rock Krawler 2.5" Stock Mod Lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks and with Rock Krawler front lower control arms (the basic kit doesn't include the shocks or the control arms).

No real issues with the install, although it took me most of the weekend, working mainly in the evenings (very hot in my area last weekend). I was working alone, and I think it would easily be a 1-day deal for 2 people.

2.5 suspension with nytro shocks... I know that the Skyjacker lift is not that popular but for the money I couldn't be happier with it. And it's spot on level front to back.

i installed the eibach leveling lift coil kit a few weeks ago. absolutely love it. took less than an hour to install. no more diving when taking corners. used rubi shocks and the ride is amazing. got 2.5 " up front ant 1.7" at the rear. definately a good kit to go with

Gonna dig this thread back up from the dead. New member here & have been browsing the forum to see which lift kit will give me an all around even increased height of 2"-2.5". Keep in mind that aftermarket bumpers, winch & spare wheel (heavier) will be added in the future. Only looking to run 33s. I was debating between Eibach & Mopar. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
