I was reading the installation manual yesterday and I noticed that it says you should detach the front driveshaft. Is this really necessary, seems like overkill from my limited knowledge? Also, if anyone has some pics after the install with some 33s or 35s that would be cool. I'm going back and forth from the Rancho kit and Evo leveling kIt and just can't decide.

Here is mine with rancho 2 inch and 285 70s ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1455072437.694977.jpg . It is kinda on a slope in the pic but sits perfectly level. Haven't really had it off-road yet just gravel roads and highway I think it rides very similar to stock.

Thanks. Honestly idk about the bumper lol. My stock one got smashed and I panicked and ordered it from eBay It shipped thru 24 hr parts and has an x laser cut in each side. I got it for like $280 seems pretty sturdy and should look good when I mount winch on it.

Did you get the 9k shocks or 5k? Also, did you get new sway bar links for the front?

Just to help you out, I personally went with the 9000s on my wife's. And as of right now, I did not change the front sway bar links. But I have ordered some jks quick disconnects for 0-2 in of lift that should be arriving at my doorstep shortly. Hope that helps

I'm about to pull this same trigger: rancho 2" with 285/70r18. A lot tire talk about rubbing though. Do I need bigger bump stops in the rear? I'm not planning on trimming or going to 35s.

I'm also running 1.5 spydertrax spacers. Have had no rubbing issues. Plus they give a little more aggressive look

Did you mean 285/70/17? A 285/70/18 is a bit taller than most 35" tires, though only 11.25" wide.

I did not add any bumpstops in the rear, and have no issues with 315/70/17s.

You will probably need spacers or wider wheels.

How do you like the 5k's? Are they stiffer than the stock shocks? I have been wondering if these would be better or worse than my Rubicon shocks.

Hey all, if you are looking at this system, I would wait until March 1st.
Just seems like a great time to save some money.

Mine is a sport so can't say on the rubi shocks but I'd say they are a little stiffer than stock. I've got about 4K miles on it now and really like the ride of them IMO

Hey bud. I still never got the lift & wanted to see how you've liked it now that it's been a while. Are you on 285/70/17 or 18?
