Overview
The Rubicon Express RE7030RXJ is a 2 inch economy lift kit with monotube shocks for the 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler (TJ). The kit uses coil spring spacers and Rubicon Express precision-valved shocks at each corner.
Rubicon Express’s economy suspension kit keeps the Jeep ride quality while adding 2 inches of lift. The extra lift gives more clearance for larger tires and increases suspension flexibility, and the spacers and shocks come together in one kit. It is aimed at owners who want an easy 2 inches of lift with a simple installation.
Key features
- 2 inch lift for more tire clearance
- Rear lift method uses block spacers
- Precision-valved monotube shocks
- Economy suspension type with the Jeep ride quality retained
Alignment and steering checks
Any lift changes the geometry under the Jeep, so the steering and alignment need attention once the kit is in. Raising the body shifts the angles of the front and rear axles, and the steering can feel different until the toe and caster are set again.
After the install, check the bump stops, brake lines and steering linkage for clearance at full travel. Re-check the bolts after the first few drives, since new springs and spacers settle in service. Good shocks hold the body steady, so inspect them for leaks whenever the suspension is serviced.
- Set alignment once the kit is installed
- Check brake lines for stretch at full droop
- Re-torque bolts after the first few drives
- Look for oil on the shock bodies during routine checks
