Default Which drag link flip kit?

I'm looking to install a drag link flip on my 2012 JKU w/ 2.5" RK Flex lift. Which one should I get? I'm not sure if I'm going to need a track bar relocation bracket or not.

For a 2.5 lift you shouldn't need to add this, are you looking to upgrade to the RK 3.5?

EVO Mfg Draglink Flip Kit includes everything that you will need. But Dusty11 is correct, you should not need a flip kit till after 3" of lift.

I would spend the money on other goodies till you decide to get a bigger lift.

the evo kit is good for 3" of lift. it is also a trackbar relocation bracket. it has my vote. $299 and done

just because the lift is called a 2.5" doesn't really mean anything. guys with 2doors are seeing 4" outta that kit with stock bumpers/no winch. its all based on how much lift you actually get after installation.

Most draglink flip kits incorporate the trackbar relocation.

If you do go with ours, you might need longer bump stops. Depends if the 2.5" shorter or taller

Some more information: Although I have a 2.5" lift, I actually gained closer to 4" up front. I already have longer bump stops that I installed with the RK kit.

Just to clarify, If I get the evo kit, the bracket will work with my RK trackbar?
