When I got this Jeep a few months ago, I was thinking about building it how I built my last XJ, mostly for rocks and technical wheeling. After pondering a bit, I realized, I no longer live in that terrain, and really have no use for it. Original plan was to build for 35"s, but where I live, in order to off-road, I need to first get on a ferry, then the wheeling is pretty much old logging roads in Hoonah, and a few Mountain trails in Haines. Juneau, is in the process of building an off-road park, but who knows when it will be completed. Anyway, my new plan is 2" lift or so, with a tires size of 32x11.50. Currently I am stock height on 31's. I have been reading a lot of the threads here, and pretty much good to go on my plan, @CodaMan's affordable 2" was a great info piece. below is my plan:

2" RockKrawler Coils
0-2" Fox Shocks
Rear Swaybar Bracket
.75 Spacers for front
1" bump stops

I really don't want to add any body lift at this time if I do not need to.

Realistically, is anything else needed? is an ADJ trackbar in front necessary on a 2"? New Control Arms? Extended Brake lines? This is a 2006 Rubicon that is currently stock. Eventually this Jeep will move with me to Belize, so I don't want to get to crazy for importing down there is not the easiest.

2” JKS springs and Rancho 5000x shocks. Skinny 33’s. My goal was to get to 33’s as low as I could get it. Ease of access for my wife and the taller tire for smoothing out the washboard roads. Nothing else was done and no rubbing. It under $500 for all the suspension
