As soon as I get mine I'll test that out on the long drive home from TN to NC.

Once I get it and it’s broken in. Happy to test it out

This thread seems like where most of the digging into the actual suspension changes of the XR have been discussed. Seemed there was question of whether the XR actually gives any suspension lift over a non-XR 3.6 Rubi.

Do we know if what is stated in this Motortrend article is correct?:

"These changes give the Xtreme Recon package suspension a 1.8-inch advantage over the Wrangler Sport, 1.4 inches over the Sahara, and 1 inch over the standard Rubicon. This is all before you include the additional height from the tire size increase."​

Or in general, even if those numbers are not correct, do we know if there is an actual suspension lift above a non-XR 3.6 Rubicon?

Anyone know the wheel offset for the xtreme recon package?

Anyone know the wheel offset for the xtreme recon package?

People are saying it's just a new color of the Mopar beadlock capable wheel we've had for years. If so it's a 17x8 with a +12mm offset.

Personally, I won't believe it until someone posts pictures of the numbers stamped on the inside of the wheel.

Can’t answer the offset question but hope someone familiar with Mopar parts can answer. Here are the numbers on the inside of the wheel. This is 2021 3.6L XR:

Interesting. They certainly appear to be a different casting than the previous Mopar wheels (77072466AB) shown in this thread:

Are there any other numbers? You are looking for "ET xx" where xx is the offset in millimeters.

They will be, I got the functional rings for them.

Where did you get the rings?

Where did you get the rings?

I believe it was AllMoparParts.com?

It's been a minute and I purchased a LOT of stuff for the build... I believe it was ~$105/each

I wonder if any xr owners have the part numbers for those tail light extensions brackets.

May want to check in the Oracle flush taillights thread. Thought I read someone was swapping on a XR

I did 91 yesterday on the PA turnpike coming back from Pittsburgh in a stock JLUR 6 speed. Didn't realize I was going that fast until I looked down. I was amazed at the smoothness of the drive for a Jeep/Rubicon. Don't want to go any faster than that tho.
