That is beautiful!

What bump stops length are you using?
Is that a standard 7’ garage?
Back space and width of the wheels?

Got a pic along the side?

Again, looks great!
Thanks!
I'm using 2.5" bumpstops front and back.
Garage door is 8'. Garage ceiling is 10'.
Yep, those are the RR5-V wheels. 17x8.5 with 4.36" bs.
I have a bunch of pics in my garage: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/showcase/mountainrunner.559/

Thanks again!

Love the Jeep! Question - did you have to cut anything to install the PS front bumper?
Thanks! I did cut off the crashbar to make the fit nice and tight and look good. Pretty easy to do. That's all I had to cut.

Started a thread elsewhere but added teraflex level/lift for JL 1”/1.5”
Wheels and tires came today!
Not much daylight left by the time I got them switched over so lighting is poor. 315/70/17
Do you have any more pics, would like to see some other angles. Any difference in driveability with the 35’s?

Hows the ride so far?
It rides great. Damn near stock. The alignment showed the caster did not change at all, to my surprise. No extra body roll. The springs and shock feel very close to stock. If you drove stock and that lift back to back, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. (Although, I switched to same model KO2 C rated tires when I went to 35s. I'm sure that helps)

Loving this thread. Ordered a 2-door manual Rubi on 12/28. Current ride is a 2-door manual TJ. Stoked to see the 2-doors getting love. Definitely taking inspiration from this thread.

I swapped out my RC spacers for Rancho 3.5 springs today. It added about 2 inches. Rancho 5000x shocks are ordered but had to leave the stock shocks with extensions on for now. Rancho geometry correction brackets added also.

The tires are 285/75/18 which are as tall but narrower than a 35/12.50. The lift is supposed to be 3.5" on a non-Rubicon, but it is definitely more on a 2 door. It is at least 4" over stock on mine. Looks good but it may be pushing the limits on the driveshafts at this height. I put on the Rancho shocks this morning and drove it for about 50 miles. Drives and rides great on the road.
