MOAB Edition JL Club Thread

Yes, because MOAB already has the Rubicon suspension.

Nope. Not correct.

I guess you are right because Rubicon also has little wider axles. As for suspension wasn’t it confirmed that it’s the same?

No, shocks might be the same, but springs are different. AFAIK.

Just mounted today 315/70/17 on stock suspension and stock wheels no spacers.

thanks for the info on this, probably what I'll do first thing when i pickup my MOAB. Looking forward to your upcoming pics.

I could be wrong. I’m trying to verify. If so, I apologize.

Mounted the Spiderex 1.75” spacers. Needed to clear the front control arms at full lock turn

Do Rubicons have spacers? Was thinking of adding Rubicon fenders with 35” but it sounds like I may still need other mods.

Great looking Jeep! Pictures don’t do it justice from the original tires to now. What made you decide to go with the Spidertrax spacer? Vs going with Rough Country? Do you notice any ride difference? Thanks for posting as this is helpful for my build as well.

I originally ordered synergy 1.5 spacers from northridge but they were on back order. So I ended up getting the spidertrax 1.75 more expensive but quality product for sure. Ride is unchanged from stock. Well it’s way better because of KO2s at 37psi.

As in you were getting some rubbing? Debating going that route because so many have indicated they put the 35s on with no rub, but I really don't want to have to add anything else beyond the tires.

 

[tatarin]

Without spacers they only rub if you turn at full lock, as in holding the steering wheel full lock turn while driving. If you just sitting in park and turn your wheel all the way it doesn’t stay at full lock it has a small reset back and doesn’t touch the control arm.

First Jeep Wrangler in many years. MetalCloak lift arrives on Monday, looking forward to installing.

Are those a Rubicon fender flares?

Just took Delivery of my Moab today. The dealership was able to upgrade my wheels to the larger 315/70/17 BF KO2. No lift yet, but I'm not getting any rubbing so far. Loving it!

With 2” bigger tires, did they advise any adjustments to the speedometer/ computer?

Yes. The speedometer was reading about 4-5mph slower than actual speed. I purchased the Superchips Flashcal to program the correct tire size.

With a slower speedometer comes a slower odometer.
