Default 13JK 4.11 RUB What is the ultimate 2.5" lift set up including the best shocks and 35"

Money is no option. I'm willing to go drive shafts racing shocks and anything else required but I don't know what is best with everyone bragging up what they bought then a few telling a different story. I was thinking Rock Krawler RCJK25MT-PRO with remote res shocks and a new front drive shaft on 35" with black rims 17". Is this the best or is there a better option for quality?
Thanks,
I'm lost as what I want to do.
Thinking 33" on black rims and no lift because I don't want to spend $4000 on something that isn't the best quality.

Just lifted my 13 Rubicon with 3.5 RK and fox shoxs. I run 35 and love it. Sounds like your on the right path.

I responded to your other thread...

Personally, I'd go bigger than a 2.5" if You are going with 35's. 3" or 3.5" seems the perfect match for 35's. This is only personal preference but I think 35's looked stuffed with the 2.5" lift. This is why I decided to go with 34's.



Check out some other threads on 3.5" lifts with 35's. I think that's the ticket!

at just 2.5", there really isn't too many ways you can go wrong as so little is changed and most of the kits available at this short height are pretty much all the same. heck, if you're happy with the ride you have now, you might just want to install a budget boost and have some fun.

I installed the Teraflex 2.5, Bilstein 2500, BFG All terrains, and adj front track bar. It rides pretty good. 2.5 is the perfect height in my opinion.

Its the AEV 2.5 a good kit? Is it worth the $900?

I looked at the 2.5" kits for my 13 jk but compared to the Full traction 3" kit for the same price, it was easy for me to decide. I ran the FT kit on my 12 JKUR and it was great. No sag, great flex, smooth ride. I was very happy. Glad I put it on my 2 door as well. netted more than 4" on a 2 door.
