they are Mopar brackets as well. The A-pillar brackets have 2 mount points (top and side) I initially had them top mounted but I like folding the windshield so I moved them to the sides. IMH they actually look better mounted on the side and they light up the MOAB stickers which looks real cool. Kinda like the enterprise from Star Trek. Total Nerd!
Luckily my front neighbors are selling the house and they don't live there anymore. Maybe thats why they are leaving.....Great looking Jeep and the lights make it a serious beast. But are you springing for new industrial strength window blinds for your neighbor across the street? At the end of your video it looks like they get the full blast of artificial sunshine!
That's some ugly toes!So today I finally swap my stock LCA with Mopar lift LCA, my JL is currently at stock height, but I hope that slightly longer LCA can give me a bit more caster. Also, it is Mopar so the dealer can't tell I swapped unless they look at it under a microscope.
As you can see in the picture, Mopar lift LCA is slightly longer than the stock LCA (measured by about 1/4 inch). In case you are interested in doing this mod, the part number for Mopar lift LCA is 68322798AA. If you want to use a new set of bolts and nuts, they are 6512085AA (bolt, M16-1.5x104mm) and 6104720AA (nut). The torque specs are 190 ft-lb. The 130 and lower floating around the internet is from the old JK smaller bolt and nut, JL has a larger bolt so the torque is much higher.
Some tips for your installation:
(1) Tools, tools, tools! Breaking free LCA requires a 21 mm deep socket and 24 mm wrench, since the space is really limited under the car, you need to have an impact wrench that can deliver good torque.
(2) The new LCA will be longer, so you need to jack up the frame slightly (shown in another picture) to push it in. Once you push one side in, the other side should be easy since the axle is already moved.
(3) I put a tiny bit of anti-seize in the LCA mount, does not hurt to have a little bit.

Nice !Installed Fox Shocks
Sorry sir, do I need to polish my nail and wax my leg too?That's some ugly toes!
This has been extensively discussed here. Well, basically it was an incompetent design by FCA. Rubicon suspension is about 1.5 inches higher than Sahara and Sport, but all three use the same length LCA. Therefore Rubicon has a lower positive caster (typically 4~4.5) while Sahara and Sport have 5~5.5. The low caster affected Rubicon's ability to track straight, return to center, and make other steering components more vulnerable. It gets even worse when installing Mopar lift as they give almost 3", and some forum members reported their casters after lift was in the lower 3.
Thanks a lot ! I have ordered mine on September and they just gonna arrive next week...
Wow those look really really good. Making me rethink my ROAM steps...Installed LOD sliders. Simple install, had to loosen one body bolt to slide the big washer over a little.
These things were package well. Plastic wrapped, cardboard reinforcement, and spray foam to fill the voids.
