Do you have any rub or spacing issues running those tires on the stock wheel, or did the 2in lift take care of that?
So I added 1.5in wheel spacers and currently have not experienced any rubbing at all. Even when fully flexed with sway bar disconnected.

The lift also gave me a little over 3 inches!

Some fun on the Rubicon. Currently waiting for ARB to release their lockers. Then re-gearing to 4.88’s!

I have heard that the 200mm axle will be first for the locker..so that means those of us with rear 220mm 44’s will be waiting even longer. And it will likely only be 35 spline. So that means new shafts.

Completed the wiring of the ARB single high output. Love it! Aired up my 35 from around 10psi to around 32 in under 2min.

Wired into Aux 3. Locker will be wired into aux 4. Saving the 40 gauges ( aux 1 and 2) for a light bar and or something else
My smittybilt usually took 4-5min.

Why do you need ARB’s?

Just doing a rear. I’d like to have one actual locker.

The limited slip and BLD are great but I need a selectable. Plus I’m re gearing so might as well.

Soooooo I was told by Dana Spicer that the JL Ultimate Dana 44 should be released sometime around Sema! I plan to order one with 4.88's!

I really like the mods you've done. I have a couple of questions:
Does the width of the stock rims in within specs of the Cooper 35s?
What model of wheel spacers did you get?
Did you get swaybar disconnects, which ones?
Any regret on anything in this build? I'm thinking of basically doing the same build with my JLU sport :)

Yeah according to discount tire the minimum wheel width is 7.5"

What model of wheel spacers did you get?

Did you get swaybar disconnects, which ones?
Nope. I made some homemade disconnects but they made too much noise for my taste. Now I just unbolt them and zip tie. Until something else comes out.

Any regret on anything in this build? I'm thinking of basically doing the same build with my JKU sport :)
Nope! Love this Jeep! I always planned on building it prettty heavily though. After the UD 44 the next step will be an atlas transfer case.
