Long time lurker, first time post. Look forward to availability just the springs. Matt, please continue to keep us informed.
Strange question for you Rancho. I have this kit installed with the RS9000’s. Everything is great but I’m thinking about putting a .75” spacer in the rear to get the rear end up a bit. I also was gifted (but haven’t installed) some EVO Rockstars that I believe raise the lower rear shock mount by 1.5”. If I put both the rockstars and the .75” puck on, would the RS9000’s that came with the kit still be within the proper tolerances in terms of full drop and compression?
I hope that all makes sense.

Yes they should be. What you can do sharkey is install the spacer and then measure the exposed shock length and compare it to the distance between the bump stop. If you have more than 1.5” of shock length showing over the amount of space between the bump stops then your good.
That make sense?
I'm glad you asked this question. I've been looking at Evo and rancho kits for a while now but I'd really prefer to get one that lifts front and back the same or at least close to the same height. A spacer seems like a good solution if there isn't a kit available.Strange question for you Rancho. I have this kit installed with the RS9000’s.

Ok sounds good, thanks for the heads up!^^ This Rancho kit does lift the front and back pretty darn close to an equal amount when it’s all said and done. We just want a tad more from the back because of all of stuff (tools and gear) we have in the back. Also, we have a 35 on the back which is a bit more weight too.
That looks great!Just installed this lift on @cyoung16 parents 2016 2 door at work today and I have to say I really like it! Easy install and rides super nice!

The Jeep is completely stock outside of the lift so it netted about 2.5” to start. I’m sure it will settle a bit. Also set the front shocks to setting 1 and the tears to 3 due to the hardtop adding the weight. Next will be some 35’s!
Would this be considered a leveling kit? I used to have the teraflex puck leveling kit and it raised the front 2” and the rear 3/4”. I noticed these are the same measurements as this kit. Just wondering

@Rancho, this kit is available for the 4dr as well correct?

Looks good! I really like how your trimmed flares turned out. I believe I saw a similar trim on a green gecko in jkx 2017 I am actually looking at flares as well. Maybe the bushwacker aluminum or the FB one's.It looks like this.
