Anyone know if I can run 3inch springs with (ARB) the shocks that I got with my ARB 2 inch lift.....I'm currently running 2 inch springs with 2X 10mm coil spacers at the back, seems to be running okay.

My 1/2013 jk 2 door has sacked out suspension and I need to do something with it quickly. It has arb bullbar, winch and auxiliary fuel tank.
I plan on 33-34" tyres in the future but currently has 265/70r17 tyres.
Will the full traction economy 3" lift be ok as a quick lift that can be improved later?
Car is mainly a remote tourer with the odd 8000km highway trip.

Just a thought...a 2 door doesn't need the same amount of lift as a 4 door to clear the same obstacles. Mine is lifted 1" over the Rubicon factory ride height spec and the only time I've touched down on anything was a tree trunk that I slid the crossmember over while traversing it. You don't need much, if any, lift for 33" tyres.......

Hi all. I just purchased this 2"lift kit. It has these extra options. My question is whether I need to get them or not? I'm not sure if the rear airbag assist is even relevant to my 2007 wrangler jku, and not sure if I need any of them?

You won't need the adjustable panhard bar for a 2" lift.

I run rear airbags in mine but only because I tow a camper everywhere and carry a fair bit of weight in the back. So unless you are really loaded up, the airbags won't be worth it for you.

If you are happy with how the OEM steering feels then stick with what you have. An adjustable damper is good for firming up the steering if you a running larger tyres or just want it to feel tighter but you don't need it for a 2" lift.
