Installed Roam's frame mounted sliders. Looks great, but will need to loosen up and realign passenger side, as after numerous times couldn't get the gaping properly. Only got 1/8" gap between body and rails, the driver side is perfect with 1/2" gap.

Oh man that’s terrible! How’d they overlook that?

Assuming laziness. Only takes a minute to swap in the new arm if done during the install. Now it will take them much longer because they will most likely have to do another alignment.

If it’s just the fixed mopar 1/4” longer LCA, no alignment will be needed. Just a quick swap

Yes it is just the fixed arm. I did have geometry brackets and an adjustable trackbar installed with the kit.

It actually rides really well as is, but annoys me that the arm wasn't installed.

Pending delivery of mine in about 4-5 weeks. How was the install? Im replacing my current Westin rock rails which were easy to do.

Gave her a nice wax this past weekend! Don’t worry, dirt will be back tomorrow.

And I promise I got out of the handicap spot quickly, it’s right next to the garbage and I had to take out the trash lol :whew:

Install itself actually not bad, although it did take a long time for me. It's the aligning part that is hard. Well for me driver side was quick and easy, almost didn't have to realign at all. But the passenger side is definitely different for me, will mess with it another time

It looks great! I have the same sliders waiting to put on my ordered Sting Grey Sport! Do you have a lift on your Sport? I want the same Rubi wheel/tire setup you have on there right now. I am leasing so I want to keep it to simple changes right now (it is my first Jeep so that is why I am leasing. 99% sure I Will want to buy when my lease is up).

So how long did the install process take for you, without the LED part?

Hello, I totally understand you wanting to keep it as stock as possible given it is a lease. My Jeep has the stock sport suspension! Just added the 33" OEM Rubicon rims/tires. I am happy with the look

That is great to hear! I am so excited to get my Jeep. I already have parts waiting in my garage to put on the day I get it. I may have to add some Rubi wheels to that pile! Thanks for the info!
