Realizing it's half spacer and half spring kit, bit it looks like they're developing more for the JT as we speak, might be good to get into their gear now and expand as it becomes available. They're big in the overland arena but seem.to be fairly new to Jeeps

I would regard this as a leveling kit. I saw their complete JT lifts at the Off Road Expo and talked to the main person regarding their lifts. I was told that more testing needed to be done being a truck it had to perform as a truck and have off road abilities and that was a challenge. This is giving most companies fits, talk was about a quad rate spring such as RK.

I would think that if you tow and want the factory heavy springs this might be a good starter kit. Just needs a front track bar and lower control arms it will probably drive nice on the road. Do you know how long the shocks are extended? I am surprised the bumpstops are an add on to the kit.. Def needs a few more pieces to be a complete kit...

And that's my dilemma as I do tow a boat. Having built a JK, TJ and a LJ in the past, there's definitely more needed as you guys have said, I was just looking to expand from the current market. My last JK was an all RK build and it was pretty capable, had Bilstein 5100's and wasn't a fan though.
Well, thanks for the responses, looks like I'll be going back to RK for this build as well !!

I`m very happy with RK on my JT. Their costumer service is first rate and they have answered every question that i have had even calling me, i could not ask for more.

I like them only 1500 miles so far and no complaints at 28 psi front and rear. They track well and have a comfortable ride and the price was right from Northridge 4x4.

It seems the ICON kits are Playing Mercedes/BMW. More than double and sometimes three times the cost of other kits. I think perhaps if you were prerunning or racing maybe. But $5000 plus for a 2.5 inch kit, kinda steep! That would make each component worth what $500 to $600 ish. if you divided The cost by the supplied hardware. (Not counting bolts) Yep $600 for a control arm hmm tough, $600 for a shock (that you have to send in for servicing) hmmm tough, $600 for a lift puck outrageous. All INMO I would just go Mopar with control arms added and save a few thousand
