A local here has put that kit on a CJ7 and raves about it. The springs are actually the 2.5" YJ width up front, and they give you shackles, U bolts & spring plates to adapt the front to that spec.
Hey Everyone,

> look for more flex/ride quality rather than overall lift.
> Will the Rubicon Express 2.5" lift give him what he wants, and save a little
