I have a 2013 jk sport 2 door. I would like to do a small lift either 2'' or 2.5' the smart way, nothing big just clean quality stuff. I would like to put in Bilstein 5100's.

What do you suggest for coils and whatever else I need.

Thanks!

 

I have 2015 2 door Sport and being on the budget I went this route. Based on some recommendations from fellow JK owners I went with coils from a JKU and Rubicon shocks. In my case I went with 17/58 coils which gave me close to 2" in the front and about 1" in the rear. Now my JK sits level and rides stiffer thanks to Rubi shocks. No more body roll and it takes potholes with ease. All in all it cost me $170 for parts. I installed it myself with basic tools. Somebody mentioned to me if you go 19/60 coils, you most likely will need an adjustable front trac bar. Originally I had 14/56 coils.

Look at the sticky "my thoughts on lifts" by dirtman before buying anything. Very good knowledge for newbies and seasoned vets alike. I did the same as above with the JKUR coils and shocks and have enjoyed it thus far.

 

Having built 4 Jeeps.....some of them many times for the sake of saving money only to have to redo what I tried to do less expensively......
When I started building my 2015 I went with the AEV 2.5 and the control arm brackets.....I couldn't be happier with it for my purpose. Plus the AEV kit comes with 5100s.
