So What Was Done to Your Jeep This Week?
Ok. Well u need to price everything out cuz at first I bought the tf 2.5 kit with shock ext. For $486. Then bought rk 2.5 front springs for $100 used. Then got 11" long rear sway bar links from a f350 and used the tf rears in the front for my e- disco sway bar, bilstein shocks for 4" lift up front and 2" rear. RC 1.25" body lift from eBay for $100. Bought Frank's used tf monster front trackbar for $180, relocated my front brake lines, made my own bumpstops up front and used the 2.5" tf rear bumpstops. So you can either go my route, or just buy everything piece by piece. If you can afford it, I would get a 2.5 rk kit

I don't have a Rubicon so i take my sway bars out so i can just use the tf ones but yeah i want to get my bumper winch and skins before anything then goes the lift but im going to start building my lift lol
Oh dam yeah i was looking to spend about 1500 on the lift no more because if i go over that im looking at getting the bolt on coil overs

I'm running all the things I listed on the stock control arms and you have seen it flex in person so you will know how it will flex on yours. The trick is to have the rk front springs and the longer bilsteins, cut the metal bracket off holding the front brakelines and the bumpstops. The rear will be easier for you cuz u will have 35's and you don't have.the evo rockstars

Evo coilovers are like 1800 just for the fronts and 1700 for the rears. Maybe get the rk stock mod kit and the bilsteins. That right there will probably cost you $1000

For what it's worth, I'm running a Full Traction 3" kit with 4 CAs and Bilsteins... for under $1500. Rides great.
I agree with this, Jeek. Coilovers are expensive and seem kind of overkill for your situation IMO. You can always upgrade in the future. Consider getting a full kit and new longer shocks within a modest budget and have fun wheeling it!
