does anyone have experience with RK 2.5 triple rate coils?

Keeping options open maybe piece together a kit.

RK 2.5" triple rate coils
Fox 2.0 shocks
2" bump stops
New teraflex rear links ( move the rears up front)
Rear track bar not sure brand
Front trackbar not sure brand
AEV Geo brackets (not worried about bashing them). I don't think I can do adjustable CA with my wheel BS of 5.2
Prob need brake line extensions.

That's not too bad of an option. First I would read up on the triple rate coils to see if they fit my needs. Then I would read up on the Fox shocks to see if they also fit my needs. Then I would research the combination of the two together and finalize if that's the type of performance I would want. If not, try again with different brands of coils and or shocks.

You can do just an adjustable bracket for the rear track bar. Such as the teraflex 2.5 bracket.

Research what front trackbar fits your needs. As I said earlier, a front trackbar isn't NEEDED, but I would recommend if you have the cash. Not having one isn't killer.

If you think you're never going to rub your belly on anything the AEV brackets would be fine as you're staying around the 2.5" height. If I had the money to spend on CAs I would at least do the front lowers.

For the brake lines, you could do something like the Teraflex brake line brackets. Or spend the few extra bucks and get longer brake lines. Both options would suit you fine.

For a "kit", I personally think this would suit you very well as it includes everything you would need to insure proper handling and ride quality. http://www.metalcloak.com/JK-Jeep-Du...ion-p/7117.htm Once again, this is just my opinion.

Just put the new RK 2.5" coils on Friday with Bilstein 5100 shocks. Out performs my old 3" teraflex hands down. Thanks to Marcus at river city off-road.

I have the exact setup including the 285/75's! I drive 40 miles a day. This setup never gets old. The ride is superb every time. I also see nothing but beach and it performs so well. The one thing I would highly recommend is the fox ats stabilizer. It made all the difference for handling. I also added crown extended brake lines, ebc brake pads and drilled/slotted rotors. I'm running the rugged ridge steel xhd front and rear bumpers w/ skid so I have some added weight.

Well some parts started coming in.

Rancho Geo correction brackets.

Pictures do not do these things justice. They are very robust.
