1.5" JK lifts
« on: April 14, 2015, 05:48:40 PM »
Anyone with a JK have any experience with the smaller lifts?  I was specifically looking at the RockKrawler 1.5" Stock Mod kit vs the budget boost style kits.  Its for my Fiancés 2014 JKU Sahara.  She is looking to get into some light wheeling, was going to go with a budget boost but I like the idea of the rockkrawlers triple rate 1.5" coils and replacement front track bar with rear track bar relocation bracket.  99% of the time will be on the road which is why I was looking at the kits that replace the coils over just spacer lifts.  the rockkrawler triple rate springs seem to get good reviews for both on road comfort and offroad flex.  Probably wont be swapping tire sizes any time soon, she has 255/70-18's currently, would pick up another set of wheels and tires for wheeling around the same size, probably a narrow 33" on a 16 or 17" wheel.

I am running this kit from Rock Kawler on my JKU. http://www.rockkrawler.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=JK35XF%2D4

I know this is more than what you are asking about, but I will say I have been very happy with my lift from them, and the springs do not seem to have settled with all the added weight from bumpers, skids, armor, and all that stuff.

now that I think about it. Before I ran that, I ran the TeraFlex leveling kit with 35's and was happy and it performed great easy to moderate trails.
For 99% street like you said and 33's this is really not a bad option.

How does your 3.5" kit ride?  from what I understand it uses the same style triple rate coil except obviously taller than the 1.5's

It rides pretty good. When I first installed it was really nice, it does seem to be a liitle stiffer now but I am still happy with it.
