JSpecs Join Forces!

Ty answered the first question. I'd have to agree here, 2.5 for 35s or 3.5 for 37s.

I'm running a budget boost 2.5" /1 3/4" in back. Since I put winch and front bumper on it sagged some in front. It's almost to the point I don't like the way it's sitting. Real lift may be sooner than later. [emoji41]

I ran a 2.5" BB before my JSpec. Much prefer the stance now.
 
Ahhh. Ok the lifts I was looking are are 2.5 or 3.5. I may go ahead with 3.5" for 37s" later.

For reference, I have the 3.5" with 35s and stock fenders if you're trying to get an idea of what it would look like. I don't think there's too much space between the tire and fender imo
 
Here is my 3.5" JSpec JKonnect with fixed front and rear LCAs and Fox 2.0 Performance Series with remote reservoir. Haven't gotten to go offroad and need a new front DS before doing so but here are some pics.

Do you know what your caster is? I see several advantages of fixed arms, but just wondering if you get close to the same correction as adjustable arms. May be a question for Wes.

Good question. I don't have the little angle tool to measure it. If nothing else, I'll have TJ measure it next time I'm in for something (hope it's soon for a regear but haven't pulled trigger on that yet).
 
If you have a smartphone you can download an angle finder app. Works pretty good.

Thanks for the idea! Why didn't I think of that?!

Here is what I put my cell phone on top of:

I'm between 4.2° and 4.5° which I think is right where it should be.

Thanks for encouraging me to do this! I've been curious ever since I put the lift on.
 
cool.

so, what do people think of the JKS dual rate coils? i have MCs on my JK right now. while it is neat how much down travel they give, it is negated by the fact that top portion of the coil compresses completely meaning daily driving is on the heavier sprung side of things. not really conducive to the best ride.
 
I'm like 99% sure I'm going with the 2.5" jspec with the weld-on rear track bar brace when I get my "real" lift. Drove the owners 2 door Hardrock rubi at the local 4x4 shop today that was full jks and it was smoooooth! He had adjustable front LCA's but I have some synergy fixed arms so it should get me close. He also had a front driveshaft, I may have wait on that though.

My only real concern revolves around the rockstar skids and whether the kit's rear shocks are the right length, I kind regret doing the skids because it's creating that unknown.

I like them. Here are my fronts. This is with a steel front bumper and Warn winch. They don't compress all the way. It's noticeably smoother than stock.
