Default Eibach 2in Spring Leveling Kit on my 2 Door JK with pictures...

My vehicle is a 2012 JK 2 door, with automatic and originally had a hardtop and tow option. Stock springs were If I recall 14/56 I will confirm later.

The Eibach Level Kit consists of 4 springs. Cost is $269 delivered to my door.
I also installed RED Rubicon Shock take offs.


I gained 2in in the front and 1.5in in the rear.

Here are some pictures before and after. The JK was in same place without moving before and after the pictures were taken.

Thanks.


I know some people say that with springs swap only you dont get any more Flex.


The picture I took in Hollister Hills I did the same pose before the lift and my rear passenger tire would have a good .5in before it touched the sidewall. Now, it touches just a tad. My thinking is the front is streching a little more forcing th rear to compress more. So, maybe I am getting a tiny bit more flex despite just using the RED Rubicon take off shocks???
