assuming my rubicon started the same as your starting numbers I am at 22” bottom of front rock rail and 22.5” bottom of back rock rail. I assume my 35” tires added an inch so close to 5” in lift from stock? I assume the coils will settle a bit after a week or so.
I have regular rubi fenders and I’m worried my 35s might look small if I go with this lift. I have good year kevlars and I’m not really interested in going to 37s. I wish there were more shots of those that went with the 2.5” Evo and have 35s

If you look at my pictures these are US Rubicon fenders (I assume thats what you mean by regular rubi fenders?) with the 2.5" EVO lift. I think it looks good with my 35s. For sure would look better with 37s though. Here it is again.

I think you’ll be happy with the choice. I did my research and my previous JK had their lift as well. I stand by the product. This is rhetorical but EVO 2.5 is taller than it specifies, it rides good with the same quality. I wanted to get a EVO 4.5 but Mel (@EVO) said I would be happy with it. I’m glad I chose the 2.5 because not only it’s taller than I thought, it fits in my garage. The top of my cab roof is at 78 1/2 inches and my garage is 82, that was a close call. Here’s my JTRL with EVO 2.5 and Nitto 37" M/T’s

thanks for sending side pics! I'm confident I'm going to be happy performance-wise, I guess I was just a little more worried that my 35s would look small. Considering that my Good Year Kevlars are measuring 35" exactly on pavement I'm pretty sure it's going to look fine. thanks again.

Thanks for making up my mind for me! I was torn between the 2.5" and 4.5" but I'm also running their mid-height rack and roof top tent. Def going w/ the 2.5" lift now. I'm also running a black rubi. :rock:

Here is a better pic of my Rubicon with the 2.5” EVO stage 2. It did great wheeling this past weekend!

Looks awesome! That's the exact height and stance I was hoping for, but my Skyjacker kit is a about 1/2" to 1" shorter on the rear than I would like (especially if I hook something to the back of it).

Yeah, that kit is way above my pay grade...Unless Evo wants to donate to my build... Which I would be totally down for ( ;) ;) ). I'll even drive it to Cali for them to do it.

I like that look. I just put on a set of 35 Ridge Grapplers. Would you mind sharing height measurements?

interesting. My Rubicon with the EVO 2.5” stage 2 plus and 25” Nitto Ridge Grapplers is taller than that from top or tire to bottom of fender. Grapplers have about 8k miles on them.
edit: I just realized the other was on a sport and mine has the taller rubicon fenders.

Front 9.75”
Rear 9.75”

No coil correction kit in use.
