The 2.5in kit will work on the Rubicon also

the rubicon comes with great FOX shocks, etc. As I understand it, my Rubicon sits 2 inches higher than the sport from the factory. Do you think a lift is necessary to fit 35s on the rubicon without contacting?

Yes you sure can! The part number for that kit is 63400 and is $129.95. Adj track bar and arms are not needed as the alignment is still within the factory specs with this kit BUT if you want to run them we do have them available also.
So...to be clear. What is recommended for the Gladiator Rubicon if you want to run 35s and keep factory fox shocks? Anything/ nothing?...just the coil spacers?

If you are going to run 35s on a Rubicon you can do that without lifting it.

Every photo I've seen with this kit have aftermarket wheels. I too wanna see stock car before, then an after photo with same stock wheels and tires.
Stock rims...2" spacers. I put the spacers on before, just in case. Im removing them tomorrow. Tires are 35/12.5r17 Toyos. I'll take some better pics tomorrow.

Do you have more pics?, are the 3 photos above with stock wheels/tires with the 2" spacers?

So you used 2" wheel spacers do you have any links to the spacers used?

Ohh, so you didn't do the 35" tires with stock height, you lifted it as well?
