This is why I think the Evo enforcer is the best kit on the market.
It has all the parts you need to properly lift your jk. It doesn't include a bunch of shit you don't need.
You just need to add shocks, drag link flip and driveshafts

I second this. You don't need a kit with all eight arms like the ones RK sells and use catchy names like "mid-arm" no such thing.

Need: Coils, shocks appropriate length for coils, raised front and rear track bar bracket, bump stop extensions, adjustable front lower control arms for a 4 door, add adj upper rears for a 2dr., longer brake lines, longer sway bar links, and an aftermarket front driveshaft (add rear for a 2dr).
OR you can get the EVO enforcer which covers all this minus the DS for a 4dr. :crazyeyes:

My $0.02 a Rancho 2"sport suspension for a 2 door (to get rear 1.75 coil spacers) w/RS9000XL shocks. Add rear bumpstop extensions if running 35" Trail Graplers and some front sway bar links. The rear shocks that come with this kit will allow good travel. The front shocks limit travel so I was able too keep stock front DS on my '14 JKUR. With a stock or light bumper this should give over 2" in front. With a heavy bumper and winch you may want to add 3/4" front coil spacers. This is almost exactly what I was running before my Enforcer lift.
Or find 2.5" coil spacers and pair them with the same RS9000XL shocks that the kit above comes with (short fronts and longer rears) and some bumpstop extensions and front swaybar links.
Just my thoughts. Others chime in to correct me.

Then bite the bullet and go 3" Enforcer.

Thanks for your 2 cents. That's what I'm looking for. I know everyone and there grandma loves the 3 enforcer

I would have told you 4" Enforcer but you specified 2.5" so stayed as close as I could. Several on here have gone to 4" plush rides after starting with 3" Enforcer. I will likely do the same sometime. Not for ride height but for keeping rear from bottoming as easy when loaded with gear and parts.

2.5" lifts is a sales pitch. Most of them end up being 3" or more.
They started that bullshit to make customers think they won't need to address drive lines.
The Rancho kit is a great suggestion

Agreed, I went with the 2" JSPEC and got 3.5" out of it

Well I appreciate talks opinions. I just like looking at every option. Especially since there is a thousand different companies out there. I live on the east coast and if it wasn't for this forum I would have no idea about Evo. But anyways I don't want to be stuck with this is the one and only especially with all the lifts out there so I like to look at everyone's opinion and learn all I can. Cause yall know as much as me, depending on what forum you go to, each forum kinda has their specific company that everyone tends to follow. I'm not here for that. I'm here to learn all I can and here the different opinions of what lifts people have ridden on there jeeps
