I am fairly new to the forum and have been doing alot of research on mods before i even purchase my jeep. It seems that anyone that has gone with your lifts has no major complaints. So at this point your my choice. my question is, will a 2 door X with your 2.5 BB sit the same height as a rubicon with the same lift? I have asked others and have gotten mixed responses. Also, what is the tallest lift I can put on a two door without having to change out driveshafts? Currently I am torn on weather I should get an X with lockers or just bite the bullet and get a rubicon. I like the fact that the rubicon sits higher off the lot and has 4.10s. i plan on getting 34 or 35's and using factory wheels with spacers. i want a kit that is complete. I dont want to buy a kit and have to buy seperate parts to fix any problems that come into play with 2 door JK's. What kit would you recommend?

 

Well if you used the 4 coil 2.5" kit it would sit the same as a Rubicon with that kit. As along as both JK's are 2 doors. Do you want to get get ride of the factory rake? Go with a 4 coil kit #1352000 for a Rubicon (they have great shocks from the factory). If you get a X/Sahara, #1251000 comes with TeraFlex shocks that are a little stiffer than the stock ones. It doe's seem that with a 4 coil 2.5" kit that a 2 door JK could sit higher in the front than a 4 door. But that depends on how much weight bumpers/winch etc that has been added. With the 2.5" BB kits (spacers) then the JK is lifted equally front and rear. You should be just fine with your driveshafts with either. Some JK'ers with 2doors and the spring kit have added a front trackbar.

Thanks for your inquiry and protecting this country!

 

Get a Rubicon, otherwise you will wish you had.

 

I would like to get rid of the rake yes. Also how much does the 4 coil 2.5 lift cost roughly? Would there be any other purchases that would need to be made like pitman arm or any relocaton brackets? Or am I being paranoid?

 

$599.99 at Northridge with free shipping. Can't beat it. Or check the Teraflex website and order direct. As far as accessories go, a steering stabilizer is a must for bigger tires, and although not direly needed, you will probably want a frt adjustable trackbar. (EDIT) this is the 2.5inch spring kit w/4shocks

X2 on what HellBilly said TXMarine.

 

And you said with this kit a rubicon will sit at the same height as an x? What would I need to get rid of the rake?

 

That's only when both have TeraFlex coils in them. The coil kits will get rid of the factory rake. Now if you go with a spacer kit, the Rubicon will be higher.
