Hey, I've got a 2012 2 Door Sport. I want to run just a basic 2.5 inch long travel setup. Don't really want to mess with long arms just yet, but I'd like some long travel coils and shocks, I'll be using bumpstops and limiting straps if i need to. we have quite a bit of land that gets pretty rough and I'd like to be able to cruise that at a nice speed and not rattle the Jeep apart. I'd also like to participate in some of the mini King of Hammers wannabe races we have here locally within some of our clubs. I was thinkin a Rock Krawler 2.5 Max Travel kit with some bilstien 7100's. I'd need to measure for collapsed length and calculate how much bumpstop/limit strap and what size shock I could run unless someone is running a similar setup. If you recommend Bilstien 5160's, I'll punch you. They are basically the same as 5100's. Want a little longer travel than those. I do have the fabrication skills to move shocks mounts, but I'd prefer not to do that since the Jeep is my DD and I'd like to keep it some what practical. I'll be running 35's as well.

 

From what I've read, I'd recommend MetalCloak 6 pack shocks. Designed for both prerunning and long travel rock crawling. Maybe their springs too...

I bought the MetalCloak game changer myself but haven't gotten it in the mail yet so can't state anything from personal experience.
