Post Your RUBICON on 35's With a Lift

Rock Krawler 2.5" lift. Arturo Trail Blade X/T 35x12.5R17's. Book is still out on the tires. Too good of a deal to pass up. Only have 2000 miles on them.

Do you still have all your original components? Maybe it makes sense to go back to stock and start over. The caster will help your steering/wander issue. There will always be a little bit of wander, these things don't have the steering precision of a Porsche 911.

My installer was adamant about not upgrading/changing any components to fix issues as the original (with low miles) should drive perfectly fine. I was skeptical, but he was right. My issues had nothing to do with components as I alluded to earlier.

Looks good. You should do a review on those tires. Seen them around but haven't gotten any real-world opinions on them.

Thanks, but unfortunately, I'm having a hard time just putting miles on the the Jeep. I only have 2500 miles and I bought it on November 22nd. At this pace, my 5 year old will have to be the one doing review. Too much work and my employment is on the "essential" list, so I can't even leave and do some social distancing outdoors right now. I can tell you that they are a little loud, but since I yanked the stock BFG's off at less than 500 miles, I cannot tell you how much louder they are if at all. Traction seems good on the pavement so far wet or dry. Much better than my Toyo's Open Country A/T IIs on my Ram 2500 Cummins. Those things are worthless in the rain. Good thing I live in California where rain is as scarce as toilet paper.

Curious, did you add the mopar 2” on top of the rubi lift?

When you install the Mopar 2” lift it replaces the Rubi suspension components.

I thought so but some guy at JEEP told me I had the option to add it WITH??? Oh Lord I’m being lead by the blind????? lol Did the Mopar Lift improve stability? And do you have any experience between 35s vs 37s with the 2” mopar on the rubicon? i wonder if there are any warranty approved lifts that would give a 2.5” ???

LOL. Yes, every time I speak with a dealer it seems I know more than they do. I guess he was talking about they could add the lift to your vehicle but he really needs to educate himself as to what a full suspension lift is. I didn’t notice any stability difference pro or con, I can tell you it is a lot better off road with the lift instead of bouncing around it is like a cushiony pillow that will go through anything. My 2 inch lift gave me almost 3 inch in the back in about 2 1/2 upfront but then again I have the two doors soft top if that matters. No experience with 37s just 35s.

I currently am on stock JLUR suspension with 315 BFGs . I have a 1.5" front and rear .75" coil lift to go on. What can i expect and does anyone have pics of this setup? I do have a winch on the stock rubi bumper and lost .5" in the front when i did this. Also, i am not ready for a mopar 2" lift yet. I do rub offroad when disconnected in the JLUR. Looking to clear the 315s a little bit more. thanks in advance.

Here is my 2020 JLUR. From Factory, to 35s and no lift to 35s and the Mopar 2" lift. I wish I did the Lift a long time ago as the shocks are hands down more comfortable on amd offroad.

Thanks for all the feedback. I just had the Mopar added yesterday. Wow! What a difference it made, it rides way better and more stable than stock. I’m thrilled. I did upgrade the steering damper as well and had the tsb steering gear done the week after they released that replacement. This is riding so much better than the BDS 2” lift I had on my 16 Willy’s and I’m noticeably higher. I’m still on 285s and gained about 3.75 in the rear and bout 3.5 in the front. I’m running 2 door hard top, the 2.0 engine as well as the factory plastic bumpers still I am waiting on a shorty bumper to come in (still a little undecided on my front bumper). I’m sure once I add the bumper/winch it will settle in a bit but I should gain some back with my 35 Nitto trail grapplers. I am happy that I pulled the trigger on the lift.
