Background and Ordering
I have made several comments in the RK thread but I thought I’d start my own thread to document some of the changes as I go since I will be doing my suspension in a few stages.
I just rolled over 9000mi In my Rubicon. Afterdoing a bit of rockcrawling and getting stuck on pretty much my first obstacle I decided I needed a few upgrades. First I put a winch and bumper on and next it was time for a lift. After spending some time looking at the options the RK Pro-X is what I decided I wanted but I didn’t want to spend all the money up front for that so I decided to go with the Max Travel package. At first I was going to reuse factory shocks with extensions, but I failed to find any extensions in stock that would work and at $800 for the RK shocks I figured instead of throwing money away on the extensions I would go ahead and order the shocks.
I order the parts from @Northridge4x4 . I have found Northridge service to be good and have good availability of stock compared to many places. I had to call my order in as I already purchased an adjustable track bar from Synergy and planned to keep it and would not be needing the one that typically comes in the kit. As luck would have it, the RK track bar was the only thing on back order. So I ordered the kit on Tuesday and it was delivered from two different Northridge warehouse and everything arrived on Thursday and Friday by about 1 o clock.
