Sweet! Merry Christmas! I may be a bit biased though....

Wow, that's a great look!
I'm interested in this same Mopar lift as well but as others have stated, I'm concerned about the actual amount of lift that I'll get. Do you know the distance from the ground to the bottom of your rock rails?

Started plumbing in the front ARB breather kit.
Front axle and transmission lines extended. Axle breather raised about 8”, trans breather raised about 1.5”.
Still to do: Transfer case (will need some 3/8” hose as the breather currently sits 1.25” off the top of the T-case) & rear axle (running that to a separate ARB manifold that I plan to position behind the taillight).

Bought a couple of feet of 5/16” transmission hose and installed the T-Case breather line.
I had to remove the factory skid plate to be able to get better access to the breather pipe which is right on top of the casing and a real pain to get to.
From there I ran the ARB supplied 8mm hose (via an adapter I made up to go from the 5/16 to the 8mm) into the engine bay, around the back by the firewall and around the drivers side fender to the ARB manifold. Approx. raise of 12”.
Later today I’ll finish up by putting a second manifold behind the passenger taillight and extending the rear axle breather line - should raise it by approx. 8”.
The manifold is mounted on a bracket I made and attached to one of the studs that mounts the ECM.

Finished up the job today with the rear axle extender. The factory breather vent came off so I pushed the new fitment on and ran the ARB line over the frame rail and up behind the fender liner into the taillight housing area.
I added a pic of the factory fittings after they were removed - you can see how short the T-Case factory hose is and why it was such a pain to do.
Utilized a factory threaded stud to add a clamp to help guide the ARB line.
Made a bracket to attach the manifold to one of the tailgate hinge studs. Be mindful of the metal bar that moves in and out as you open and close the tailgate.

My next few projects are lining up:
A Teraflex IR Adjustable Track Bar is on the way,
I found a pair of Warn D-Ring Mounts that got lost under a pile of my wife’s garage junk - I’ll have to see if those will work in conjunction with the Maximus 3 Stinger as I think they share a mounting location.
I acquired an extra set of dash panels that I’ll have painted, I’m almost decided on Bikini to match the bodywork but a Pearl White is still on my mind a bit. Am I committing sacrilege by painting a set of red dash panels? Lol.

Heck no, paint away! I have the leather w/red stitching in my stack of parts-just waiting till I finish suspension / steering which hopefully will be by this Friday.

Today’s small job added some much needed under hood lighting.
KC Cyclones mounted up and wired to Aux 2. I debated where to mount them but ended up removing the first hood liner clip, drilling the 1/8 hole right next to it and using the gap in the liner to route the wires while the cyclone itself provides the support in place of the missing clip.
