RK 2.5" Max Travel System
Does anyone have any opinions with this RK 2.5 Lift? I will be going to 35" tires soon. Also, on March 14th, my 4.88's, zip lockers, ARB compressor, & axel sleeves for the front D30 gets installed....FINALLY!!! Gonna do the lift after my gears, then get the tires. I also added bumpstops and the spring retainer kits, Bilstein 5100 shocks along with it. Will this be a good lift on my 2011 JK? Heres the link. Rock Krawler JK 2.5 Max Travel System (RKJK25MT)

That's a great lift and I'm running the 2.5 Flex kit on 35s and bushwackers. It looks really nice and even leaves room for 37s if you wanted to upgrade. I have more pictures if you want to see them.
That looks badass! I can't wait to have mine all done. Plannin on a trip to Hot Springs Ark. soon, but still have a few things to get done. I like your ride bro! I hope to stay with 35's. I think thats all I will need. Its my DD, so I gotta watch the pocket book....lol
I have this kit on my four-door Rubicon. Love the kit but one of my bilstiens blew before was it was a year old. Rides nice, flexy as hell. Add the rear adjustable track bar though instead of just the bracket. I have just the bracket and my rear axle is just off centre, less than a half inch, but it bugs me.

Did any of you with theis lift have to change your drive shaft. I have an 07 Rubicon 2-door. I know that people say you get more that 2.5" of lift with this lift, closer to 3-3.5". I was wondering if that affected your drive line angle enough to need to change your drive shaft.
I have the RK 2.5" MT and had some issues when I moved to 35's. I had bad rubbing on the fenders and front bumper. I hacked the ends off the bumper and got flat fenders. No problems on the road, only off road when disconnected and aired down.
I also had issues with the wheels hitting the disconnects when disconnected. Had to relocate them higher and more out of the way.
I did replace my front DS when I had the lift done. I honestly don't see how you would do 37's, even with flat fenders. What bumpstops are you using for 37's? Seems like you would have to limit the flex big time!
