2018 JLUR
So Finally my JLUR got its partial mods and so far it has:

Rock Krawler 3.5 x factor
Kings 2.5 3-5 inch lift shocks with adjustable resevior
Rick slide Engineering Side step-rocker slide
Mopar tailgate reinforcement
JCR spare tire raiser
warn Zeon 10 winch and plate
Smitty built 4' x 5' roof rack
JCR bullbar
Rigid 10" LED spot light
Goodyear wrangler MT/R 37"/12.5 x 17
Rugged Ridge Jesse spade Wheels 17x9 in gun metal

Long Story short this list took 3 weeks to get done for a shitty job!!!!

Lift kit was purchased from "River City Offroad"- I talked to Marcus there and he gave me crazy deal on it with free shipping to Los Angeles. very helpful guy with lots of info about JLs.

The reason I bought it from him was that he had it in stock and Local 4wheelparts was asking me for 6 weeks to get it even that their autorized retailer of RK.

the rest of the equipment was purchased from same 4wheelparts. I chose to have them install the lift as well since I "THOUGHT" they are pro at it and I didn't want to do an adjustable control arm system myself since I wanted it done on alignment rack!

it took them 3 weeks to schedule me to install it...took them 2 full days to do just the lift kit-shocks and wheels and tires(I installed the rest). they asked for 2 days since they wanted to make sure its done correctly... well I GUESS NOT!

went out so excited the next day when I picked up the car and ran into many issues with their job including bolts that were not tied down and wait for it ......... yes rear track bar installed completely upside down and they did not follow the instruction on the kit AT ALL..... I almost ripped my E-brake and rear locker lines! well I'm scheduled to take it back in tomorrow and who knows what they'll do to my Jeep...
but for now here is a peak

I like. Simple. Any rubbing?
Just a little bit in the back at full flex. Can easily be solved by rotating the bump stop on its side (making it a bit taller) or just by molding the inner fender with a heat gun. But honestly It doesnt rub enough for me to do something about it right now.

I also have spidertrax wheel spacer

I really like the Wrangler without the spare on the back. I wish somebody would come up with something truly useful to cover up the vents that includes the rear view camera. Also need a clean bumper design to eliminate the wheel cutout. Maybe a license plate location. Ideas? Maybe some type of storage box for tools, trash, etc. Something along the lines of the rigid saddle bags on Harleys.

I’ve been trying to read thru all the threads. We’re on the fence of 35/37 on mopar headlock wheels. What would be needed to mount the 37” spare in the factory location? The mopar reinforcement kit or is there something else needed it better?

Look at Ace. They have a license plate, camera spare delete kit. I think Motobilt has something like this too.

Do you happen to have side shot of this? & do you know what the height of your jeep is at? Hoping with a lift/35's my clearance is under 6'4" to get in the parking garage at work lol

Well the Mopar lift has been on since tues. love it to death.
It came out a true 2" as far as I can tell.
I cant speak to off road quality just yet as I havent had the time to go play yet.
For those of us worried about fuel, I have lost 3MPG due to the phat 37" boots I put on.
The ride quality has stiffened a bit I feel but nothing to complain about.
The service department was good but they did however forget to flash it for the tire/speedo change.
The Chevy in that one pic has a 6" lift and sitting on 35"s.

RC 2.5" spacer lift, 37x12.5-17 BFG AT KO2's, no wheel spacers (yet).
That is perfect in my opinion. I like the tire under the Jeep so that you can get near a wet spot on the road and not have to go wash the Jeep. Also I got tired of the weekly ritual of repairing the chips on my door hinges.
