Default Quick question before trigger pull on TF 2.5" Lift

Noob here....Just ordered 35x12.50 KM2's with the 17" Liquid Metal Gatlin wheels last week from DiscountTire. When I try to order the 2.5" TF lift with shocks, it tells me the lift will not fit my '11 JKU. But in the description, it says the lift will fit the Rubi and Unlimited. Help please?? Thanks in advance....Todd

It installed on my 11 w/no problems. My suggestion if youre planning on really flexing the thing is to skip the drop brackets for the rear brake-lines & go w/extended lines. If you disconnect the sway-bar in front, you'll also definately be tugging on the stock front lines when flexing. Im also not a big fan of the trackbar frame drop bracket over an adjustable rear TB. Just my 2 cents. My L/Rr hard-line got snagged by the end-link by using the drop-brackets for the rear lines. Its a PIA to replace. Depending on other mods, you may need to do some trimming for 35's. The guys are great at TF, dont be afraid to give them a call too.... Ive bugged Joe & Doug more then a few times for specs & questions.

Are you sure that it knows your vehicle is a 4 door? Some sites like Quadratec and a few others have a vehicle selector on the screen to help show which kits are right for yours. I just ordered the same exact kit for my 2 door from Dave at Northridge4x4. Give him a call and he'll take care of you! Free shipping on it and he gave me a great deal. Shipping was fast too.

This seems to be the kit everyone is talking about and probably what I'm going with too. My build is lift first and then wheels. I have only hears good things about the tf 2.5

The only problem with the TF 2.5 coil/shock lift is front brake line bracket....I had to cut mine off:
