This is my jk with rk 2.5's, I have bilsteins for a 4" lift up front, spring retainers on front lower perches and rear upper and lower perches, stock brakelines with tf rear brake line brackets and re routed the front lines, 1.75" bumpstop up front and tf 2.5" bumpstop in the rear.
This is the flex I get from them with stock wheels and 1.5" spidertrax spacers and all 8 STOCK control arms
So if I were you I would get those rk coils. They are awesome, no sag and I netted 3" from them with my warn bumper and winch

nice looking jeep. that is some good flex for those coils.
If you install them with the shocks you have now, it shouldn't be a problem but, if you decide to install longer shocks to match, you will need to get a new front drive shaft (assuming you have a 2012-up). There is no need to get a new rear track bar as a relocation bracket will do the job fine, but you may want a front adjustable track bar and brake line extensions IF you get the longer shocks to match. If you don't, these are things that you won't need.

I already have 5100s but I'm not sure how long they go. I do already have a front adjustable track bar but I haven't done the brake line extension yet.
If you haven't already damaged your front drive shaft, the 5100's you have are the correct length and so long as you keep them, you will not have any problems with the new coils.

would you say it's worth a 240 upgrade for those springs. or would you suggest building up the rest of my jeep first then revisiting a lift improvement later down the road?
In my opinion, going from what you have now? No. I personally would pass and save that money for a more substantial lift. But, that's just me.

I was starting to think that also. I think I'm going to add some LOD sliders instead since I don't have rock protection yet
That sounds like a much better plan :yup:
