Thanks!

Yes, I took it on the freeway last night. The suspension absorbs bumps amazingly.

The steering feels a little twitchy, but I guess I have to get used to the higher center of gravity. Three inches is a LOT.
Adjustable LCAs will help that twitchiness.

Thx for this info !! I 'll double check it next week . And tell it specifically to the guy when I drop off the car.
After the four 'free' oil changes , I'll do it myself too . Can't be that difficult .... :)
Changing the oil on my JL is the easiest of any vehicle I've ever owned. Plenty of clearance underneath so no need to jack it up or use ramps, and the cartridge style filter means no dirty oil spilling every where (including on the fan belt) when removing it, or struggling to thread the new one on because it's mounted at a weird angle in a place you can barely reach and can't see. (That was a description of the filters on my '03 Liberty and '00 Jetta.)

Here she is...on stilts! LOL

The Fox shocks look a lot beefier than those used on the JK Mopar lift.

Nice. They really shouldn't call it a 2" lift. I don't think a single person on here that's installed this has gotten less than 3".

Got some new shoes. Going to run these and eventually get some Black Rhino Barstows I think.
We also got a bath after this was taken....
Got the wheels on and should be calibrated using JScan. Going to drive around today to check out the speedo

Yeah. I read somewhere that Mopar calls it the “2-inch lift” to stay on insurers’ good graces.

You're going to need some 37s. I know you're thinking, "Maybe 35s will be OK?" But they won't.

Hah! Nah. I’m not going there.

For starters, I have a D30 in front. Secondly, I don’t want to completely kill my handling and MPG lugging around 100-lb tires.

I’ll put on some 35s and a big heavy winch in front to lower that nose a little.

Call it 2” so they don’t have to include all the other parts (Adj TB, Rear TB Bracket, Adj LCAs) in the package that are needed for over 2” lift :)
