Describe these builds

[Adamrush4554]

Hey guys, just finished final inspection of my ordered 2018 JLUR Rubicon and is in the shipping process. I ran across these two JKUR and am pretty interested in their look. Can you guys chime in on what lift and tire sizes you think this could be? I’m suspecting 3.5-5.5” lift and 40”s? Also will it be possible to achieve the tire width of these JKUR on my JLUR with rim backspace/offset and spacers or what would be require?
Thanks in advance

I would guess 40-42" tires, upgraded axles and coil-overs. Personally, I don't think stock Dana 44's are going to like anything over 37". There are a lot of upgrades on those Jeeps that aren't visible in these pictures. Lots of $$$.

All you need to know is they are both north off $40K in upgrades, if you want most of the look, Think 37" tires and $10-20K IN upgrades. I'd start by looking at Evo's web site

Bein as the new Rubicon axles are beefier, my plan would be upgraded shafts, cv’s and gears along with drivelines depending. Also plans will be metal cloak suspension and possibly mild trusses. Getting antsy to see kits come out here soon and some of the aftermarket goodies!

First question should always be "how do you plan to use it?" If you want it to perform as mean as it looks, it's going to take some serious upgrades. If you like the look and it's just going to see light trail use, not nearly as expensive.

Good luck either way!

If you're looking at 40s+ it'd probably be a smarter bet to go with upgraded axles to begin with. RCVs are great but your still running a 44 ring and pinion among other things. Plan on 12 grand plus and thats for a semi float 60.

The OP probably bought a Prius by now.

I’m not sure why this popped up in the recent activity section then. That’s all I really browse here anymore.

The seem relevant to 4 years ago… I looked at possibly going 60s and 37s or more. I would be sitting at $17-18k just for axles.

I still think I may do it. But the Jeep will need to be paid for, I have a second vehicle and after I buy a house…

Copy that….. I’m thinking of doing junkyard axle at least in the rear since I have to shave it and weld on my long arm brackets anyway…….maybe Ford kingpin or GM 14 bolt. I’m thinking shafts, gears and locker will only add up to a third of the cost of new…..I don’t have to pay for labor thankfully…….. but I’m still early in the research stage ……

I haven’t looked to much into that route. I do wish they made a matching ultimate 44 for the rear. I like the price point for the front and thinking about doing that when re-gearing. If they had a matching rear, I know I would have pulled the trigger already. Beefed up, bolt on axle set for $10k after selling my axles and keeping my current wheels would be an easy decision.
