agreed, good looking Jeep!
I have the same kit on my 2dr, and will be installing it on my 4-door as well when it arrives here soon. I notice no sagging in the rear. it sits perfectly flat. The lift is about 4 months old now. Wonder why some are sagging, and some aren't? I have the same XRC rear bumper and carrier, plus a 35" and 17" spare.

I have the RK 2.5 Flex with triple rates in my JK for about 3 months now.
I wish my rear springs would sag a little.
I have LOD Midwith with Warn M8000 in front and Warn Elite rear bumper.
I got a crapload of lift and my rear is slightly higher.

Well, at least your Jeep looks fast standing still 
I've heard the 2.5" RK coils can put a solid 4" on a 2 door. I'm biased, but I like how MetalCloak makes 2 door specific coils. I had the 2.5" and got exactly 2.5". Swapped to 3.5" coils and guess what? I got exactly 3.5" (.25" more in the rear which means I sit nice even fully loaded).

Yeah, but to be fair, I'm running without a back seat, and the Jeep is empty in that shot.
When I load the back, it kinda levels out.
