It’s supposed to be 2” on rubicon and closer to 3” on sports.

I’ve heard Rubi kits are 3.25ish in the front and 2.5 in the rear before settling.

The diesel equipped have a specific kit…I’m sure it’s for the heavier motor.

I don’t know, but after installing the Mopar Kit and 37’s on my JTR, I was up a total of 5” all around.

On my rubicon I was sitting at 17.25" at the front rock rail and 18.25" at the back (due to the rake)

After adding 37's I was at 18.75" and 19.75" (KO2's run small....)

Then added the MOPAR lift and 1.5" teraflex spacer in the front (to get rid of the rake + adding a winch): I now sit at 22.25" in front and 22.25" in the rear...

So, the MOPAR by itself added 2" almost exactly in the front and 2.5" in the rear...

in total I am 5" in front and 4" rear, similar to @vmiaptetr

As others said it's closer to 3" on a non-Rubicon. After I installed the lift on my Sport I ended up with 3.25" and 2.5" in back. No spacers used.

TF says that with less than 2 inch lift the factory Rubicon shocks can be used without a shock extension. For my lift I want front 1.5 springs and a rear 1 inch spacer and front adj lower CAs to add some caster. Would also install the MC poly bumpstops. Not sure about the front track bar. I went through the mill on my 14 JKUR suspension so i want to do it correctly the first time with the JTR.

Sorry, what’s ”T.F.”?
I was wondering why the MOPAR lift kit for the Rubicon includes shocks. Those account for most of the cost. Maybe they’re 2.5” vs. 2”, is that worth it? Can I just do springs and contol arms etc?

Sorry, TF = Tera Flex.
Got the 315-70-17 BFG KO2s on today and it looks great with no lift. Many have said it's the perfect look for the JT. I don't want to make it a PITA to get in and out for no reason. Done Rubicon a few years ago and don't need to re-visit with this JT.

Yes, the MOPAR kit is 2.5" fox shocks. I didn't have my stock shocks on long enough to really compare, but I really like the 2.5's

Looking at the lift kits, looks like the Mopar 2 inch with a few items added would be a good one. Add adjustable track bars and adjustable CA's. The springs and shocks will give you the ride quality. 2 inches would really help with the belly drag.
