Post a link up.
If it is leaf packs, it is for the CJ/YJ platform most likely.

2" SPORT P/N's

RS66108BR9 2 door with 9000's
RS66108BR5 2 door with 5000's

RS66109BR9 4 door with 9000's
RS66109BR5 4 door with 5000's

Make sure you get the right P/N they are different systems.

Correct image/P/N. The coils are used up front and the spacer in the rear. Often times Amazon descriptions are incorrect.

hey Matt , I just got the rs 9000xls just fronts are on as of today , but I was wondering ? Will these (999328 rear) and (999326 fronts ) work ok with this kit im concidering buying down the road here ?
this is a 1.5 rk kit and on two door it says up to 2.5 in front on two door & 1. 5 in rear . I have a psc mid bumper @ 130lbs up front will these shocks I have be ok
again 999326 / 9993328 ? because im stock rubicon right now on my two door and these new ones said 0-2 Im upgrading parts slowly , as I can afford to do it this way & not all at once you know ?


thank you
just the 1.5 kit from rock krawler

only issue I could see is if it does go to 2.5 up front maybe adding a winch would drop it below that's if I even lift it up ! I might not

thx rancho dude.

I got the kit for $$350 minus the rebate so all in all a good deal. Now to put the pucks and springs on is that better do do at a garage or can I do it muhself?

Do I have to drop the axles at all? Do you have any inskructshunal videos on how to do this?

With the 2" SPORT no need for a new drive shaft or exhaust mod on the 2012+

With the RK 1.5, you will most likely need to upgrade your shocks to a longer length (29/30 the last two numbers on the shock for the JK application). Sorry about that. :(

You can do this install at home easily, it does help to have a friend and no need to drop the axle either.
NO video at this time, we are (hoping) to make more DIY videos this year.

I did the install myself. 3 hours for the rear on my own. 2 hours for the front with a buddy. Very easy to do, just read the instructions, but once you get to it you really won't need them.

One thing I will add though is if you have considerable mileage on your current rear springs consider replacing them for the install. I have about 90k on my rear spring (59's) and post install of the pucks my rear sits 3/4"-1" lower than the front. It really doest help I always have about 100lbs in the back of work equipment.

Mr Ranch dude something to consider as an upgrade package! Rear Springs!!!
