what else do i need to slap 2.5" springs on my 2 door

[mcgee149]

Picked up some 2.5" rk springs front and rear and was lookin for some advice on what else i need to slap these bad boys on.

You might want longer shocks to match, brake line extension brackets or longer lines, longer rear sway bar links, rear track bar relocation bracket and front adjustable front track bar. Not all this is needed but, it will help address the changes your Jeep will see.

are they new or used??? if used are they off a 2 or a 4 door??

 

[mcgee149]

thank you. i have shocks already. do i need to do lower control? i wheel alot and dont wanna take the cheap route if i cant wheel once or twice with the cheap stuff while saving for control arms all around and, track bars.

the guy had them on for a week.(4 door) they look brand new.

Track bar is not to crucial if your jeeps aligned right and all the geometry is good but if your just adding the springs and not aligning it and not getting control arms the track bar will make a big difference and you might see some DW without a better track bar

not for certian but you are gonna get a lot of lift off a 2.5 spring for a four door if you install it on a two door... i have 3.5 on my four door and it nets a little over 4" i would guess your going to net 3.5+ on those springs... I could be wrong but you just might want to check...

i dont know if rock krawler has springs for both two and four door, but the guy said he wanted more lift and just put a differnt set of 2.5" springs on his four door. i have stock four door springs on right now and the jeep works great just looking to get rid of the 3/4" puck and and gain a lil more clearance.

Rock krawler doesn't differentiate their 2 and 4 dr lifts like the other guy I got more lift then stated I have the 2.5 and got at least 3-3.5 keep that and mind. Also if you want ground clearance easiest way is to get the axels higher then they are with bigger tires lol

go to Henrichs build thread. he has the Teraflex 2.5 lift with 37" tires and flat fenders.

Heres the rk 2.5 on 37'' km2's
In this first pic below, you can see that it flexes so much that the rubber boot got pulled off the right front shock body. They are bilsteins for a 4" lift up front and lower spring retainers

well guys i got them on and she is sitting about 3" looks good. i just need to do brake lines here before to long. then rear upper and lower control armsto give me a lil more wheel base.:brows:

 

[seanb123]
