Hey everyone! I've been out of the JK club for about 11 years now. Sold my 2011 to trim the fat on bills so that we could build a house back in 2012. Built the house and then started filling it up with rotten kiddos haha Got #3 coming at any time now! Anyway, I'm looking at a JKU so that the whole family can go back roading in the summer. I currently have a 2002 TJ that I lifted last summer but bought all of the components seperately so that I could pick manufacturers. I went with BDS springs... 3" in the front and BDS 2" in the rear to eliminate the front end rake and I think that setup looks awesome! So my question is...Can I go the same route with 3" and 2" on a JKU without many extra components, maintain the ride and handling, and eliminate the front end rake I know that I can go with spring rubbers to level out the front but I'd rather go with springs. I'm prepared to do springs, shocks, front adjustable track bar, and longer sway bar links. Anything else that I'm forgetting? I wanna go with 315's and regear with 4.56's. It will be mostly a pavement pounder with very light offroading.I had a 3" Rusty's lift on my old JK. It was okay but it still had some rake. Any tips, advice, and feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank y'all!

 

I don't see you mentioning any sort of caster correction, and that is the biggest thing. If you're really going for pavement ride quality, and you can get over losing a little clearance at the frame rail, then strongly consider some control arm brackets.
