The Mopar non-adjustable 2" lift LCA's would be the cheapest solution, but another heavy-duty solution would be the EVO Manufacturing Enforcer series LCA's. They're pricey, but have TONS of adjustment for making really fine adjustments, and they are built like a tank.

I just ordered a set along with all the proper front-end upgrades needed when replacing my 2.5" spacer setup...Like the adjustable track bar, 2.5" plush-ride springs, and the Enforcer adjustable LCA's. I'm going to be keeping the nice Skyjacker Grade-8 stainless steel sway bar links, bump stops, and front shock extension brackets. I'm going to keep the rear springs stock and the 1" Skyjacker rear spacer for now, until I can find a company to make me a set of 1.5" lift rear springs... EVO... You listening? ;)
JKS rear springs are 1.5” lift over stock Rubicon springs. They’re also pretty inexpensive.

Hmmm, might have to look into that. Especially since I'm already fixing to be running a frankenlift on it. Thanks for the info! You got a part number?

Not off hand, but Northridge lists them for around $139 a set. I’m running the JKS-spec rear Fox shocks. They are 27.95” long, which isn’t a standard length available. I was going to use JKS springs but decided to hold out for Synergy.

Will I need an adjustable rear track bar and extended rear brake lines for only 1.5" lift? It seems perfectly fine right now with my 1" spacers in there... I found the springs... And I also found the full 3.5" JKS kit that has those springs in it, and the kit also lists extended rear sway bar links... I've got 1" spacers in there now, and don't need the extended links, will I need them with that extra 1/2" lift of the springs?

No rear track bar adjustments are necessary. You WILL need 12” rear swaybar links with those shocks for sure. I ripped off mine which were 11.25” a week ago. I have a set of Metalcloak 12.25” links on order.

With the factory rear Fox Rubicon shocks I'll need 12" sway bar links for the rear?

No, only if you go to longer shocks.
Will I need shock extension brackets for the rear with only a 1.5" spring? Or will they be ok with only that extra 1/2" of lift?

I would think you would want them to keep your shock in the proper working range at ride height. I was using a set before switching to the longer shocks.
