Default 2.5" Lift, Flat Fenders, and 37s.

Post up your pics and type of lift.

Want to keep a LCOG as much as possible to run my 37s. I've done some research and found a lot of people like this set up! Some 2.5" lifts actually nets more lift depending on the brand, and some run a 2.5" with 1" body lift. Trying to see what everyone else is running with 37s thats sticking to a LCOG. Thinking the Rock Krawler Stock mod.

Im currently running a 2.5" RC lift with 1" spacers but my coils have started to sag, They measure 1" less in the rear and 1.5" less in the front than they did when I 1st installed the lift. Ordering a new lift soon

Actually looking at buying RC 2.5". Why the sagging? Is the net gain!

Not sure. This is my 2nd set of RC Coils. They replaced my old sagging one for free.


The first ones were fine for a while, then after my trip to moab (6days) they were sagging really bad when I got home.


Now, these ones I have now did great for a while as well, but after wheeling 1-2 times a week on some of colorados harder trails they are sagging once again. To me, it seems like when they get worked really good flexing and what not they start to sag

I'm running a 2.5 tf coil lift with a 1.25 tf body lift with flat fenders. This combo works pretty good plenty of room but you still need rear and maybe front bump stop extensions. For some reason I can't upload pics but if you want I can email you

2.5" TF BB on 37" Goodyear MTR's...no rub at street tire pressure....need to trim the rear wheel well openings a little more still. I have 4.5" bs rims and I rub at full lock just slightly ( need to adjust steering stops ). I am looking to upgrade to 3" Poly springs which will be perfect
