2018 JL Rubicon
How is the Mopar lift working out for you . I have a Rubicon with 315 KO twos and I added the Nexus adjustable Stabilizer and I really like it. I would love to put one of the Mopar lift on although I’m not sure I really need it. But it seems so many people had problems out of them and had to add other components to make it work! Not sure I want to get into that.

Do you have a link to the grab handle RAM mount? And are there any air bag concerns with it mounted on the grab handle? I'm not sure exactly where the passenger air bag(s) is deployed from.
Oh and by
Any concerns about the passenger air bags and the mount on the grab bar?
No not at all. Mount sits to the left of grab handle and just about level with. To be honest I think Jeep made those Allen key screws/bolts on the handle removable for reasons like such. The air bag must get deployed well above the handle if you think about it or the handle itself would be a danger in itself. I mean, I wouldn't mount a tv on the thing but small accessories should be fine or those screws wouldn't be removable - they serve no real purpose in the handle, they hold nothing together. To answer the question, no I dont think the mount is an added danger at all.

LIFT IS AWESOME!! especially if you have the stabilizer. Not sure what everybody elses issues are but mine rides like factory height on 33's(if not better. Also installing caster adjustment bolts I bought from Fabtech for increased adjustment. Yes, without the stabilizer the wheel dances a little when you hit a bump but the adjustable Falcon stabilizer corrects that and if you get the caster adjustment bolts installed even better. You will love the lift!! Remember, any mod you do to the mechanics of the jeep will almost always require adjusting or modifying something else. Your Jeep was engineered to run perfectly from factory, change that and you'll have to adjust things accordingly.

Finally replaced the silver grille trim with the satin black trim and I finally installed the Rubicon bumper I’ve been putting together the last couple of weeks.

Thanks to @RocketScientist for the rubi part lists and @BobK for the wiring harness info. Much cheaper and faster than waiting for Mopar to release the full bumper. However it did take much longer (thanks to the Mopar clips and chewed up bolt).

Mopar Bull Bar/grille guard installed.

Waiting on the Baja fog lights to come in now...

Simple upgrade, but I put a light on the back window. Put a reed switch on the hinge so it gets power as soon as the window opens, and turns off when the window closes. Best $60 upgrade out there in my opinion.

How’d you do this? I’m very interested in replicating this!

Thanks much appreciated!

Must be honest though...I have OCD when it comes to my rig and cant seem to get used of the Rigid lights on the grille/winch guard. Everytime I look at the front end it looks like a pig from angry birds!!:headbang:

Any thoughts or ideas on what I can do to the grille and/or lights to change the look?? Seriously bugs the heck out of me:angry:

How about removing two of the bolts from the bumper and installing the lights on top of bumper, kind of under Grillw guard. See pic attached.

I have the 315 ko2 with the mopar lift on a sahara and it rides great. The installer took their time going exactly what the guide said and didnt need any other components. The mopar was design to work with the jl from factory. I have to complaints.

Thank you for the input, I knew that it was designed to work without any other component from the factory but it seems many people are having to add other compartments and that is something that I do not want to have to do. Like I said at this point I do not think that I need a lift. I had a JK Rubicon with the 2 1/2 inch TeraFlex lift before and I have just as much clearance on the fenders As I had with that Rubicon. So far I have not had any rubbing issues but I am not a rock climber either.
