Even on the JL I've liked but not loved the Rancho lift. Would change it but no point as I'm casually saving for coilovers, I mean a baby.

Seriously though, are you talking about the full enforcer kit? It’s a way different price point and is a better kit in my opinion.

I am looking at the stage 1 3”. Not sure I would do a drag link flip. Just a 3” coil and lower control arms. Not sure which one he was talking about.

Talking about the 3" with front lower control arms. But really referring to how I like the coil springs compared to Rancho's. But I've honestly been happy with both 2" rancho kits I've owned. Probably outshined their respective point.
Also, eventually made it the full enforcer kit and king 2.5s and air bumps, and yes that was significantly nicer but significantly more $

^ All of that is what I figured. The LCA Enforcer kit, especially with the 2.5’s and a flip, is very nice. I’m all in for $600 with the 9000’s and an extra 3/4”. No driveshaft issues, no screwing around with caster, no trackbar relocation...basically just enough to get on taller tires, and a really low COG. Flat fenders really help for off road though.

You really can't beat the quality and simplicity of the Rancho at that price point, no more or less than is needed. Why I started there on the JL.

Do they sell just the coils? I have an extra set of 7000 shocks.

It’s about $415 with 5000’s. Almost worth it just to have the extras. Talk to Matt though, maybe they sell just the springs.

According to Rancho site they do sell just the springs RS80132B(rear)
RS80131B(front) at least this is what quick search showed.

I may do the same this summer. No issues yet with “34’s” (Nitto Trail Grapplers), but there’s a touch of rub in the rear when fully stuffed. Any issues with the length of the shocks when you add the extra 3/4” puck?
Can’t wait to follow the changes with the new JK! Congrats (mostly to your son!)!! And pretty excited to be able to copy a lot of it! [emoji6]

I suppose the shocks might be a tad short but I haven’t taken the time to fully cycle to see how much. I figure here is enough wiggle room built into the shock ranges that the extra 3/4 shouldn’t cause any real issues. Plus, neither of my boys are going to be pushing things too hard with their Jeeps.

My son just officially installed his first modification (bull bar on the bumper).
Only six bolts but it took two trips to the hardware store and some drilling since the effing manufacturer neglected to send its hardware kit with the bar. [emoji17]
It’s simple and my son likes the look. Stay tuned, his Jeep will go through a lot of changes over the next several weeks.

Awesome father son project! I’m a couple years out to be able to do this with my youngest. Don’t those ends caps come off that bumper?

Yes, they do. I think he wants to wait and pull them when the new tires and wheels go on.

Get the 4”. Cause after a year you’ll be lucky to have 2” left. [emoji58] and I think I pack light.

Lol. True. Although you have no sons and more Jeeps than I. (Same goes for Overlander and Pig). [emoji848][emoji23]
