Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RKRRK03100P?The Rock Krawler RKRRK03100P is a pair of triple rate front coil springs providing 2.5 inches of lift for the 2007 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler JKU four-door. They are a direct bolt-on suspension component requiring no modification to the factory frame or axle mounts.
Is 2.5 inches of front lift enough to fit 35 inch tires on a JKU?A 2.5 inch front lift provides sufficient clearance to fit 35 inch tires on a JKU in most configurations, particularly with a minimal body lift or fender flare modification. Exact clearance depends on tire width, offset, and any additional trimming performed.
What rear coil springs should I use with the RKRRK03100P for a level stance?Rock Krawler offers matching rear coil spring options for the JKU that are designed to work with the RKRRK03100P front spring for proper vehicle rake. Contact Black Ops Auto Works to identify the correct Rock Krawler rear spring pairing for your build configuration.
Does the RKRRK03100P require new shocks?Extended travel shocks appropriate for 2.5 inch lift are recommended with the RKRRK03100P to maximize available axle travel and prevent shock bottoming. Running stock shocks limits the benefit of the triple rate spring's articulation range.
Will the RKRRK03100P cause death wobble on my JKU?Lifting a JKU at any height can require track bar adjustment to re-center the front axle. A quality track bar relocation bracket is a common and recommended addition at 2.5 inches to prevent tracking issues and reduce death wobble risk on the JKU platform.
How does the Rock Krawler RKRRK03100P compare to a 2.5in Rubicon Express or Old Man Emu coil?Rock Krawler's triple rate design is a distinguishing feature compared to single-rate coils from most competitors. The progressive rate allows the RKRRK03100P to be softer during normal street driving and stiffen progressively under off-road compression, providing a more versatile spring characteristic than fixed-rate alternatives.
Is the RKRRK03100P the same spring used in Rock Krawler's full JKU lift kits?Yes. The RKRRK03100P uses the same triple rate coil spring technology that Rock Krawler includes in their complete JKU suspension lift systems, ensuring the standalone spring delivers equivalent performance to a full kit build.
Can I install the RKRRK03100P myself with basic tools?Front coil spring replacement requires a coil spring compressor and safe vehicle support equipment. While the spring itself installs without modification, working near compressed springs is a safety-critical procedure best performed by a qualified technician.
Installation Instructions
- Safely lift and support the front of the Jeep Wrangler JKU with the front axle hanging free.
- Remove the front wheels and disconnect the front sway bar end links.
- Compress and remove the factory front coil springs using appropriate spring compressor tools.
- Install the Rock Krawler RKRRK03100P triple rate coil springs, verifying correct seating in both upper and lower spring perches.
- Remove the spring compressor and reinstall sway bar end links and shocks.
- Lower the vehicle and check for correct ride height.
- Perform a professional alignment before returning to road use.
Coilover Springs
Coilover springs are the replaceable compression springs that wrap around the shock body in a coilover assembly, determining ride height, spring rate, and the balance between comfort and handling stiffness. Swapping springs is the most direct way to tune a coilover setup for a new application without buying an entirely new system.Popular UpgradesLinear-rate springs in the 6 to 12 kg/mm range are the most popular choice for street performance and track day builds where predictable handling is more important than maximum compliance. Progressive-rate springs that soften on small bumps and stiffen under load are preferred for street cars that need to be both comfortable on rough roads and controlled in hard cornering. ID60 and ID65 springs are the most common inner diameter specifications across popular coilover platforms.What is the difference between linear and progressive coilover springs?A linear spring has a constant rate from full droop to full compression, providing consistent an...
