Thanks for this. I see those are also the Fox shocks... from what I understand those are one of the best.



Can you please explain why you wouldn’t? Because if it rides like stock, given the higher ride heights, isn’t that a good thing? I’m contemplating which kit to get... apologies if dumb questions.
Not a dumb question. When I spoke with them and did research it was hyped up to be this huge improvement over stock for what I use my Jeep for. But my experience is that it’s no better on or off road than the stock rubicon. And I didn’t get the full 2” that was advertised. For $1200 I expected more. I would go a different route if I had to do it over.

Nice! First Bikini JL I’ve seen in the “wild”. Looks much better than I originally thought!

I’m still catching up and reading... long thread!

Another guy pm’d me and said he was super happy with his Enduro setup also.

Question for you others: would it be ok if I purchased this lift kit first/separately from the tires? Meaning - could I run my stock Sahara wheels and tires with this lift kit??? The lift kit alone will set me back a few $$$ so I’m trying to pace myself. If I did the wheels and tires at the same time, my wife would never approve lol.



So you traded in your 18 or 19 Sport for a 2.0T Rubicon????


We are selling the Sport out right, but pretty much yes. I love her! Our sport did really well but the Rubicon was always the end goal.

Thanks for the insight. I wonder if your case is isolated? I wonder why for you/some Rubicons, the full height is not achieved? Hmmmm.

I have a Sahara, so maybe it would be a full height for me?

Also - if not Dynatrac, then which kit would you recommend for a mild 2” lift, with hardly/if at all, off-road use?

I love that ARB bumper. One of the few non-OEM that I’ve seen that I like. What’s the material of it? I love my stock fog lights though, but judging from your pic, it’s a close match to the stock LED’s?

Good luck with the sale, and thanks for the explanation. If I could do it all over again, it too would be a Rubicon from the get go.

Hopefully someone did that for Firecracker so I can see :)

Rigs looking good! IMHO I think it looks better without it.
