Anyone running the JKS 3.5 inch lift kit.

Did this lift level it out? The angles of the pics make it look like it may be lower in the back creating that "Bulldog" stance. Is it just the picture?

It’s the picture. Truck is about 1/8 lower in the front. Should sit just about level once I put some recovery gear in the bed.

Did you happen to measure exactly how much lift you gained in both front and back? I’m evaluating swapping springs in place of my spacers. Just one of the next steps...

Front gain was 3.25. Rear 2.0

Awesome- thanks. They market this kit as 3-3.5, so it’s probably considered 3” for a Rubicon, and 3.5 for a Sport/Overland. These springs might be a perfect transition for my build.

I went ahead a pulled the trigger on the JKS lift. Install vid and initial impressions coming soon. Over all impressed with the packaging of this kit.

I've been waiting on the LCAs to come in and they finally did this weekend so I should be installing it sometime this week, probably tomorrow

Ordered this lift yesterday. I will throw it on over Thanksgiving.

That black sport looks nice! I just grabbed a black overland and am thinking that this JKS lift would be ideal. I ran a JKS 2.5 on my 2017 JKU and was happy with it other than the JKS lower tier shocks. For the JT I will go for the Fox option knowing how much better they work for my preferences in handling after having Fox 2.0's on my 2015 JK and my 2014 F150. Along with the Fox shocks I will use the geometry correction brackets, I was very happy with the outcomes of those things on both of my previous jeeps with the correction in caster and pinion angle.

I like to maintain some of the factory rake, with the bumper and winch up front do you have much rake or is it sitting pretty level? I am trying to decide if I need to install a 3/4 spacer in the rear or if I may not need it. Thanks!

Any side pics? Before and after to compare? Looks great though. Think I’m going to try and find a Black Friday deal on this with their geo correction brackets until I pick out the arms I want

I installed the JKS 3” lift on the wife’s Gladiator. She went with the
Fox shocks and it rides really nice. The rear coils were a pain in the arse to get in, otherwise smooth easy install.

what is the overall height with the lift installed? Trying to figure out it a 3.5” lift and 37s will still allow the Gladiator to fit in the Garage...
