Installed Rough Country 2.5” lift, 20” Ultra Wheels and 35” Ridge Grapplers along with the Rough Country spare tire relocation bracket. Slow day at work so I was able to knock it out on the clock.

How do you like it so far? Im going to get one soon
I have one and think getting a heavy bead lock off and being careful with camera wiring is WAY more of a pain in the ass vs stock or teraflex. It fits well I love the Rotopax mounts, wish the antenna mount was 1/2-1cm further back so it would clear the glass. It is solid, but heavy, install is like their video, lots of adjustments. But not horrible. Tire is also high and has no height adjustment. Ok for me use the camera if you care. The back spacing adjustment is great, Just don’t over torque the hinges to body frame, they have an unexpectedly low torque spec.

I’m in lake arrow head this weekend if you are out there for Labor Day and want to check it out.

I think your high lift bracket is upside down. Not based on personal experience. Lol.
Yes it is. I'm hoping it will clear a 48" in my garage that way. I think there is enough room there for the bottom of the jack to clear the bumper and for a 35" tire to clear the mount. If not I'll flip it around.

Do you have proximity sensors? Those can get interfered with jack lower. Also with that orientation you may need to pull the base off the high lift, depending on bumper. It’s quieter at least, Mine didn’t clear the garage with 37’s and 3.5 lift. Also from experience.

No no proximity sensors. I'll be on 3" and 35's but I want to do 37's eventually once I've upgraded the front axle. My garage is kinda low. Guess I could just buy the 42" just to be sure.

I never used my HL, but I am sure I would need to reconnect the sway bar to use it, 42 seems low, but who knows.

Without proximity sensors you drop it pretty low maybe better with original orientation. I will snap some picks of mine so you have it this weekend. What’s your garage height?

It's 82" a little shy of 7 foot for some reason. I'd like to add garage doors at some point not sure that will make a difference. Whoever built this house did a lot of weird stuff. Halls are extra narrow interior wall stud spacing is non standard all the wall plugs are upside down.

Mine would clear that, I’m at like 76-78” Jeep and hi lift height. With 37 and 3.5 lift

Just swapped the direction of the rear shock bolts. Stole the idea from Dr Jeep, aka @stil2low . Less likely to get dinged on rocks. Realized on the second bolt that you don't even need to jack up the Jeep. duh!
