About 2.5 - 2.75... every corner is different by a slight margin and I had a horrible rake when I first let the rears down... I drove it this morning and it seemed to settle perfectly. Over all I'm happy with what it is as a product but good lord Evo could use a major improvement in the instruction department. Simple shit like labeling a part left or right would have probably helped me shave 2 hours off installing everything.

I always applaud poison spyder for their packaging and instructions. Every piece of hardware is always packaged by itself and labeled in the instructions where to go at what step.

This thing I couldn't even find instructions for and winged it.... Took about 10 hours start to finish.
Oh ok, that’s good. My shop is installing it. They say they’ll need the truck a day. So hopefully I drop it off in the morning and pick it up Tuesday, no later than Wednesday. I need

I don’t have my JL Rubicon Unlimited yet so was wondering if the outlet you put the USB plug into is part of the smokers group? Or do all JL Rubis have this port? And what was this dash port originally designed for? Thanks...

Installed Mopar door sill guards. My first mod. :)

Next up, find wheels/tires, JCR classic sliders (ordered) and the Rock Country 2.5” lift, which is sitting in box.

They all have it. Just a 12v port.

I wish someone made a USB port however where you could still close the door when not in use

Busy weekend. Installed new bumper, Warn Zeon winch, LED bumper lights, A pillar LED lights, Larger Mopar rock rails, door sill guards and grab handles. I have the Mopar 2" lift and Mopar beadlocks ready to go. Sending out trim rings for powdercoat color match. Just can't decide on 35 or 37 inch tires.

Rough Country 30" hood light bar. Very sleek and easy to install...

Does that get in the way of folding the hood back against the roof or the windshield frame down on the hood? How hard is it to remove? If it has like quick detach mounting and wire plug, are the quick detach parts where a thief can't get at them? Sorry if the questions are stupid, I haven't seen this light before. Do you get a lot of light reflection off your white hood? I definitely like the profile.

The hood opens and folds back at the prop height with no issues. The hood can also be raised about an inch more passed the point where you prop open and hold the hood in place with the hood bar. You cannot fold down your windshield with this set up. The LED is held in place by a single screw at each end. This screw attaches to a bracket which is held in place by your hood hinge bolts. If you were to remove the LED, I'm not sure if the windshield, when folded down on the hood, will hit those brackets. There is a quick disconnect plug from the LED. About 18 inches or so, you will have a plug which joins your LED main wire to the wiring harness. This plug is under the hood so yes, all a thief would have to do is open the hood, disconnect the plug, and then remove the light.

There is light reflection off the hood. A matte black hood decal will take care of this. I don't mind it though...The pic below shows the hood bracket up close.

Quite a bit....

Evo. 2.5 boost with drop brackets and shock extensions. What a nightmare to install.

Rusty's winch plate with Warn VR10S, Factor55 flat link/Fairlead and Baja Designs lights.

Finally have a buddy coming over tomorrow so I can finish these beadlocks. Really need a set of extra hands with these coopers.

Beadlocks? But it looks like you paid the extra $895 for the upgraded wheels.
