It’s not a Rubicon, but it’s a JLUS with a 3 1/2” lift and 35’s!

Is it just me, or does that look it's wearing lipstick?

In all seriousness though, does anyone have pre and post 2" MOPAR lift increase figures because to my eye it doesn't look like it lifts it all that much from stock. Not criticizing, in fact I am considering installing the same lift, it is just an observation.
Yes quite a difference considering you replace the control arms and the Sway bar links. Also those are 35s not to 285’s on the ground.

Yep. Compared my JLUR to a coworkers JKUS on the same tire size. Pre-lift he had a 2" gain, post lift (on mine obviously) I have a 1" gain. Its 100% noticeable.

That’s what I thought, it looks like only about 1 inch difference on a Rubicon

Yes I know, I have 35s on my Rubicon and there doesn’t look like much difference from a lifted one comparing to my own.

What kind of measurement you have from the ground to thr top edge of the fender
When I installed my 35s these were my measurements to the bottom center of the lip of each fender. FL 40" FR 40.5" RL 39.25" RR39.75" I saw a one inch gain going up from the stock 285s. measuring from the fenders.

Here's mine with no lift.

I have Ko2’s “E” 315/70/17
Here’s my measurements just now :
FL 43 3/8
FR 42.3/4
RR 42.7/8
RL 43
I cannot complain at all about the ride not much difference with the Mopar 2 inch lift and these 315 KO2’s vs 285 ko2
Just an FYI it’s all about the air pressure to pounds in each tire can make a difference on movement and feel. I run about 38 to 39 cold

Thanks for that. I have the same tires except they are C rated. Looks like an average of 3" lift, good to know. Eyes can be deceiving. I run them cold at 36 psi.

OK thanks. It might be a difference in the E versus the sea I found at 36 pounds it seems to be a little forgiving if you know what I mean. Kind a like floating around a little bit
