Another option in that 2k price range is the AEV 2.5" lift. It comes with bilstein 5100's which may not be quite as nice as the fox shocks, but they are custom valved and everyone seems to agree the kit is top notch.

Dang son. Anyone got any coupon codes? That's crazy for what you're getting.
That sucks. But it's been 2k+ in Canada all along. And yes, you are correct, overpriced.

Found a mopar lift in stock for the old price. I can’t believe they raised them $400. Insanity.
I paid $1335 back in Nov 2021... looks like they raised it closer to $700!

Please share that knowledge with a list or links for that comparable price that come with shocks.
More for your money here:

https://metalcloak.com/jt-gladiator-3-5-true-dual-rate-lift-kit.html

All in with 10% off under $2000 even with lower isolators. The install is a bit of a pain but the flex is unreal. Rides like stock but without any bottoming out.
I’d personally not take this one from JKS off the table. I’ve been quite happy with mine, and it looks just fine with 35’s on other rigs I’ve seen with it. Way more bang for the buck than mopar.

2.5" Metalcloak leveling kit can be had for under a grand when on sale and looks good with 35's

The JKS I linked to includes Fox 2.0 shocks.

Holy smokes, I paid $1,485. I still think it was a deal as you get a set of shocks as well, but now for $2,000 no freaking way I'm recommending to anyone. You can go out and get a Clayotn lift plus a decent set of shocks for that money.

I don’t work for them, and have zero affiliation, but I will confidently add this. I’ll put my 3-3.5” JKS suspension lift up against any JT 2.5-3.5 clayton lift, on any trail within reason. Not from a competition standpoint so much, but to show anyone interested that other companies offer better lifts for less or equal cost.

But will it fit 35's? Or will I have to go bigger?

I was originally going with 35’s and would have done the same lift. I’ve seen JT’s with that lift on 35’s and it looks totally normal.

I actually like that I could go down to 35’s in the winter and change nothing.

The Fox shocks are the most expensive part in the kit. It’s not a bad deal if you want to run it as is with a warranty and be happy with the shocks. I don’t have experience with it so I can’t say one way or the other.
