I just put on 22s SRT Reps and looking the lower the rear to match the front, what's the best way to do that? Any help would be appreciated

I am lowering mine in the near future and Eibach pro kit works with 2016 GC. It's on eibach website and I'm getting mine from CariD. Carid rep confirmed that the lowering spring will work with stock shocks.

But for older model year it's probably best to switch out the whole spring, shocks assembly to prevent blow outs

I've been using the Eibach pro kit on my 2012 WK2 for about 8 or 9 months and I didn't ever have to change the stock shocks. No hard bouncing or rough ride either. NOW, I wish I'd gone slightly lower but I will probably drop it more later on and THEN I will definitely be putting on some shocks to match.

Anyone have a suggestion for shocks to go with a Black Ops Aggressive lowering kit? This seems like what Ill most likely be going with unless I find something comparable for cheaper later.

Yeah it does level it out. I'd still like about another inch or 1.5" lower but I'll probably do that in another year or two. I have a few other things in mind before that.

Someone mentioned blistein shocks for lowering with the black ops springs - which model are these? Most of the ones I'd seen from blistein were lift kit shocks.
Thanks!

Has anyone picked up the Mopar lowering springs? I was on the phone with BWoody and they recommended them over the Eibachs....even with having a nonSRT. I'm just a little concerned about how much lower the drop is....1.6F, 2.0R.....versus Eibach 0.7F, 1.3R.

Right. According to BWoody, the SRT suspension components will fit the nonSRT. Any idea on how I could get a gauge of how much lower the Jeep will sit? Like a tape measure or something? Sorry I'm just not familiar with lowering Jeeps. I've only lifted them lol.

I'm just about to....i just wish I had the wheels to complete the look. I'm sitting in powdercoated 18s but plan to get 20" Spider Monkey's.

Depending on what you decide, I recommend ordering directly through BWoody Sales. I called yesterday and they were very helpful in choosing exactly what I needed.

Good deal, thank you for the heads up. If/when I do this, I'll more than likely be replacing my shocks and struts with 4600's at the same time. I too have the stock 18" wheels so it won't look anywhere near as good as it could, but I'm extremely picky with wheels so I want to get the right setup....not a fan of the SRT rep's so I'm still searching. For now I was just going to buy black lug nuts and black center caps to accent the wheels a bit and tie it in to my black paint.

I agree with you. I will most likely wait to install everything everything until spring so I can get wheels/tires too. Gotta get ready for show season! I ended up getting Gorilla Lugs on Amazon. They are pretty good. Just gotta be careful what you use to take them off otherwise they scratch.

Depending on your price preference, I would look at the Velgen wheels sold by Solis. They are beautiful. Pricey but worth it lol. Same with MRR wheels. I made the mistake of getting in to Instagram and following fellow Jeep guys. Like this site, HUGE mistake lol.
