2" Daystar spacer lift: Rear trackbar?

[Desert Outlaw]

how have you been running the life for a year now? gladiator didn’t go on sale till late April early May lol

but to answer your question, I have the mopar lift and my rear axles are centered. Only my front end needed an adjustable track bar

Sorry, my long hours sometimes affect my grammar. I had planned on running the Daystar spacer lift, but I exchanged it for a set of Fox 2.0 shocks +~$300. I'm waiting to install my 4.5" EVO lift once I order my driveshaft and rear upper CAs and rear Metalcloak trackbar. It's fun, but expensive.

That’s a long way from where you started, but sounds fun! Expect more than advertised height from the EVO 4.5” lift. The 2.5” EVO lift nets around 4” in the front.

What I have read is that EVO MFG lifts measure the lift height by the rear axle rather than the front. That said, I'm expecting about 6" suspension overall. I'd rather build big to start with rather than swap out coil springs and shocks at a later time - as I have in the past with my 2003 Rubicon and the Ford Ranger before it.

I just ordered a Daystar 2" lift kit on a Black Friday as part of my phase 1 Black Friday sale splurge. I will be running 37" KO2s (lightest AT 37" D-rated tire available to my knowledge) and lightweight Method 313 wheels. I'm hoping that with this setup I won't need a front track bar, but I'm okay with breaking a few parts and beefing them up later. I eventually want to run AEV's upcoming Bilstein 8100 kit but they could be years with their track record. I can post pictures when I get it all installed on my Rubicon, but the tires are on back order so it could be 8 weeks!

8 Weeks!?! Have you tried other retailers/distributors who might have better access to KO²s @MotoBrad ?

Yessir, but it was a really killer price from an awesome local shop I'm friends with. Plus, the tires will be brand new fresh from the factory, not some dusty old inventory. I'm okay with waiting, plenty of other parts to install in the meantime, as they roll in.
