We have a 1.5" leveling kit coming out pretty soon, and with that new spring we can basically set up a 1.5" complete kit for trucks that will be carrying a lot of weight!
@Clayton Off Road Sweet. That is something I would definitely be interested in. Any more details at this time?

Not that I could tell. I had the winch on before I added the front Rubicon springs. Once I added the front springs it got everything pretty level. Below is where it set before I added the rubicon springs also a side by side

It looks like the kit comes with shock extensions. Did you use the shock extenders with the rubicon suspension?

Yeah, I used them and still got them installed. It rides great. You should strongly consider a set of Geo Brackets as well, they will really dial everything in. I'm probably going to order a adjustable front trackbar in the next week or so as well.

@NGNERD What's the setup there?
Clayton 1.5 level kit, Method 305 NV Titanium wheels, 37 x 12.50 x 17 BFG KO2. Love this kit and Clayton is awesome to work with.

Which ones did you go with and did you need them for the install?

I got the poison frog ones off Amazon. I was able to get them for $84 at the time and a buddy of mine bought a set. They are all pretty much a the same in the $90-$130 range. They looked the same as the rough country ones and the AEV ones I had on my JKU. Another reason I chose the poison frog ones was they had 3 settings for 3 different lift sizes.

No you don't need them for the install.

@Clayton Off Road what is the time frame y’all are looking at for release. May be exactly what I am looking for.

With a winch and that weight up front you’ll sag 1/2” to 3/4”.

You mentioned a potential for 37’s. If that is a possibility, why not spend once, cry once, as they say?
Tell me about it............ I put the lighter version of the Rubicon front springs under mine, raised it about 7/8" inch or so. Then I added winch and steel bumper, dropped it about a half inch or so, so I put the Daystar .75" spacers up there, got back my gain from the springs.

Would this work well with the diesel? Looking at the smallest lift possible. Also, would 0-1.5" lift shocks work? Looking at using the falcon 2.1.

Thanks
