I recently bought my 2020, which already had a 2.5in leveling kit and 37s on it when I got it. I added front LCA geo brackets to even out the caster, and it drives great!

In the next month, I've already got scheduled a re-gear (5.13s), and I'm wanting to do a lift around the same time. I've got my eye on the Rock Krawler 3in Adventure kit. I've heard great things about their ride quality and articulation.

My question is: do I need to include the front LCAs from the kit in the initial install, since I have the geo brackets? Since RK makes it really easy to buy their components individually, I was wondering about doing the lift in stages. Basically, do the whole kit, minus the LCAs first, and then come in later and just do all 8 arms at the same time.

With my current 2.5in spacers and the brackets, I can actually push up to 9 degrees of caster. Would the extra height from the RK 3in coils be enough to offset that? I'm feeling pretty confident that it would be ok, but this is my first Jeep since my '98 TJ back in the day, and things are different enough that I'd like to confirm my thoughts with y'all.

Thanks in advance!

I would call RK and talk to them about it. If the LCAs aren't needed, I wouldn't buy them. You can always add them later and by not changing to much at once, you can see the difference every new piece you add later does..... Just my 2 cents.
