Default R.C. 2.5" lift

I'm installing a RC 2.5" bb this weekend. It is going on a 2009 jku. Does anybody have good advice or tips that has done one of these lifts before. Thanks

Do you have access to a tractor with a 3 point lift and a box blade? If so I can tell you how to do it before your beer gets cold. If not, make sure you have 2 floor jacks and tall jack stands. It's not hard at all.

After you install everything, only loosely snug up the bolts. Use a torque wrench on your suspension components once you have it back on the tires.

I have this kit with the .75 inch spacers making it a 3.25" lift. I like it a lot but the springs are very soft in my opinion. When I have passengers in the rear or any heavy cargo it sags a bit. Sits and drives perfect when empty. Overall recommended.

Default Add a spacer to the front

Add a spacer to the front if you have an aftermarket bumper and/or winch.

I wish I would have done that to mine... I have had my 2.5 RC lift for about 6 months and the slight front end sag from the bumper weight is driving me nuts. For $20 I could have solved that problem and not have had to take the front end apart again.
