Default Ordered rubicon express 2.5 inch coil lift, questions.

Ordered the 2.5 inch rubicon express coil lift to replace my RC 2.5 inch budget boost. Anyone have pictures of this kit on their jeep? Should I not use the included cam bolts? Any negative reviews about this coil lift? Will the springs sag with added weight such as bumpers or spare tire?

In order to use cam bolts you have to wallow out your LCA axle mounts, something I would never, ever do. Plenty of people have done it successfully but mine are so beat on (mostly passenger) I would be afraid to loose any more metal.

I have had that kit on for a couple weeks now. Rides really nice. I have a winch and aftermarket front bumper and the front is a tad bit lower than the rear. I expect it to be level with an aftermarket rear bumper. I replaced a Tereflex leveling kit and gained just over an inch all the way around over the leveling kit.

I have the 3.5" kit and instead of using cam bolts I put in the AEV Drop Brackets...works fine for me.
