What is the number on the tag on the rear springs, by chance?

Nice Jeep. Here is another pic of your cool rig, its the one in the back.

Hello Rancho

So here is my stock spring number.




I'm not really complaining as I feel I got the 3/4 lift the spacer was supposed to give.
I just wish the spacer would have been taller, perhaps 1 1/2.
I am considering getting some thicker spacers.
Then I'm worried that the shock won't be long enough. Rancho does make a RS9000xl for a three inch lift, don't you ?
Or will the shocks that came with the 2" kit work ?

Rancho

Another option is to look for some rear springs with a larger number, say a 59 or 60. That will get you a bit more clearance.
A spacer is another option.
Your shocks are a-ok. These are what we use in our 3" system actually.

Thanks for the quick feedback !!!

I swapped my light duty rear springs with heavier rears out of a jku and it worked out perfect and netted me an additional -/2-3/4 of lift. Much better load capacity too.

Rancho, is the front shock also what you use with the 3" kit? I'm thinking about moving up to 3" rancho springs all around. What do I need to accomplish this?

Rancho

No the front shock is a shorter shock, don't forget on the newer Jeeps too much droop up front and the exhaust/driveshaft have to be addressed.
If you want to go to a longer shock
RS999329
But you still need to make sure bumpstops are the proper length, exhaust etc.

Ok thanks and yes I suspected no less. Can you tell me what I will need to go from a 2" to a 3" sport system? I know I don't need the entire kit. Also, is the shocks I have up front good for a 2.5" kit?

See below and here.
For a 3" SPORT
New coils.
Track bar (front)
New front end links
Exhaust mods for 2012+
Correct size bump stop spacers.
Rear track bar bracket.
So a lot of "little" things.
