Here are the 1.5/1. It measures 1.5/1 exactly. I will take pictures of the Jeep after the lift goes on tomorrow.

Here is the Jeep with the factory wheels painted black, 35 inch Khumo MTKL71 and 20% 3M tint on front windows.

Man, that thing is MEAN.

Remind me - were you rubbing with the 35s, and that's why you're doing the lift?

Thanks!!

No rubbing, I just like the look of more space between the fender flare and tire. The 1.5/1 should take the little bit of rake out and give it "stock" spacing between the tire and flare.

Very nice, this is going to look excellent.

Now that I'm on to a Rubicon, I've been wondering if I should stick to the 35" tires I have waiting for me in the shop (and not do a lift), or still plan to do a small lift... and jump up to 37s :)

I knew if I went any bigger than the 1.5/1 lift, I would be getting 37s lol. Since its my DD, I really don't want to go bigger than 35s. However, the temptation is real!

Very true. This is my DD as well, with offroad use realistically making up maybe 5% of the time I'll use it.

BUT getting a D rated 37 might be nicer than the E rated 35s I have (I'll never understand why they do that). Plus it looks better!

I think I could get away with 37s on the 1/1.5" spacers.... but I don't know if I could avoid regearing... and not sure I want to spend the $ for the tailgate reinforcement.

Look great! How much higher overall do you think you sit now over factory with tires and lift?

I'll know more tomorrow after the lift gets put on. I also plan on heading by the dealership to see if they will let me get a picture next to a stuck JLUR.

My Rough Country .75" front leveling kit is getting slapped on today. Not looking to lift it, just account for the minor drop the front took when I installed steel bumper and winch and level the front out a bit.

Netted exactly 1.5/1. Here is a pic on my driveway next to the original pic. When I head to work Monday I’ll get one on flat ground in the same spot as the original picture. It looks awesome in person! The guy who installed it said it was still within spec for caster (4.6 degrees) and didn’t need LCAs. Shocks are fine he said. Could go with an extender or longer shock if I was really concerned.

Just getting around to doing this for the same reasons others have mentioned, restore the factory gap now that I've put on 35's (315/70/R17 BFG KO2), but do not want it leveled as I tend to always have something in the back. I called Traxda and they will definitely make 1" spacers all around for front and rear. It'll take a couple days longer, but that's it. And in their opinion (they only make lifts!) no need for bump stops for this minor addition.
Bonus - they'll also still take the 25% discount code 'facebook25'. Call them directly to place this order.
