78.5" at the tallest part (rear of the hardtop) and that's with 37" Toyo's at 31psi
I was curious so I measured mine I'm sitting at 73" with stock Rubicon on Duratrac 35"s.

@Rock Krawler Suspension is there any hight difference with coilovers VS Noncoilovers in the Pro X 3" kits?

The rear springs are the same in both kits, obviously with the front coilovers, you can adjust the front ride height to your desired height so there could be a difference in the front based on how the coilovers are adjusted.

I did not, nor do want to inadvertently highlight Rock Krawler or NorthRidge4x4 in a bad light, that was not my intent.

Hey Rock Krawler...
I purchased the pro-x no limits 3 inch lift for my JTR from Northridge4x4 and noted that there isn't a listing for rear upper control arms on the Northridge4x4 website for your product... what gives? Am I supposed to have received a box of rear uppers as noted in the inventory list on your web page?
Please advise if I am shorted these so that we can coordinate delivery as I am already in the middle of the front installation.
OK, my bad... :)

Nope - You guys have done everything right, I'm just a paranoid ID10T... I finally got around to opening the rest of the boxes for the rear installation and found the REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS in the PRO-X Upgrade Kit box. (HURRAY!)

And now I can complete the install tomorrow.

My apologies for causing any confusion... I just recently returned from Saudi Arabia where I had contracted COVID and have just recovered... this and readjusting to the time zone difference has me a bit whacky. :)

Thank you for the prompt responses!

Grabbed my front lower control arm while changing the oil and the bushing felt loose, dropped the arm and found this. The lift is 4 months old, anyone else had a bushing go that early?

All over the net........ I have a client that had a set of the smaller joints fail on a TJ years ago and swore off RK joints.

I really like the triangulated 4 link setup for the JT, but a quick search on the net showed the joints are still junk.

I recently installed the pro-x kit and was curious if anyone else has had any issues with the rear brake lines getting to tight when the rear suspension was at full droop? I have the falcon sp2 3.3's for the 2-3" lift and was wondering if maybe that could be the issue?

Well I won’t be much help but while we wait for a good response would you mind posting up some details on your install and some pictures.

If your rear shock is greater than 28" extended, you'll risk your brake lines.

Thanks for the quick response...I was thinking that may be the issue. I believe you guys state 28" maximum extended and the falcons state 28.3". I'll just purchase some extended lines.

Me and a couple buddies installed it. RK Pro-X system with Method MR305 NV 17Ă—8.5, 0 offset in bronze and 37Ă—12.5 Milestar Pat's. Shocks are Falcon SP2 3.3's. I have to purchase some wheel spacers as the 0 offset is not the correct back spacing so I get some rubbing. My fault I looked at the Rubicon specs and not the Sport. If you guys have any more questions just shout.

looks good. How long did it take to install? Did you run into any issues? How’s the ride Vs stock?

Was about 8 hours for us, with properly scheduled beer breaks. No real issues to speak of just my measurements at times and also I did break off one of the zerk fittings in the front sway bar links, I'll take blame for that however, I prob cranked to hard on it. As far as the ride goes it's def an improvement. It's stiffer then stock by a good bit but that's a good thing Imo. Handles much better now not spongy feeling like stock.
