  1. Anyone have success with springs from a different manufacturer for their metalcloak GC lift?

    No they don't, I run the R/R spacer about 1/2" high which splits the difference between a full or empty tank. Sits pretty much dead level at 1/2 tank of gas.
  2. Anyone have success with springs from a different manufacturer for their metalcloak GC lift?

    I have done basically what you are asking; JKS springs up front for length, and AEV springs in the rear for load carrying capacity. I also used JKS ACOS spacers to dial in each corner, so no lean and level with my trail gear loaded. These spacers only work with springs that are the OE diameter...
  3. Who has Mopar Bead Lock wheels?

    Can I ask why you would want to do this? I was maybe being a little politically correct initially, it will look pretty strange. Also, you probably wouldn't want to air down the tires ever because the rings may pinch the side wall at low pressures. Plus there would be a good sized gap for mud...
  4. Who has Mopar Bead Lock wheels?

    You can mount the "real" beadlock ring on the wheel with the tire mounted in the non-beadlock position. However, there will be a gap between the ring and the wheel where the tire would sit if mounted as a beadlock. You can see the gap in your bottom picture, this will be visible and a bit...
  5. Any experience with the MOPAR beadlocking rings?

    Unless Mopar changed them, the bolts are six point. I have damaged mine, but always managed to be able to file a little off, and get a socket tapped on with a hammer to retorque. My guess is the bolts stick out 3/8"ish from the face of the lock ring. I got a deal on mine, that's why I run them.
  6. If you were replacing the lockers on your Rubicon, what would you buy?

    Have you considered a semifloat 60 as a replacement? There are a few manufacturers offering these, but I haven't looked into what's available right now. It would be an upgrade from a 44, but less expensive than a full ton swap, and they fit your current wheels.
  7. Dana 60's: Currie vs Dana Spicer vs Dynatrac vs Fusion

    I have been researching the same thing. Some differences I have worked out so far: -Currie is high pinion front and rear, some argue a high pinion rear is weaker. They have a "load bolt" on the rear to take care of ring gear deflection. Genright uses Curries on all their builds, so it may be...

  9. JLUR 3.6 with 8 speed with 37s and 5.13 gears rpm?

    I live in a terrible area for fuel mileage. Extremely hilly, and the wind is ridiculous. I see high teens on the highway regularly. About 15-16 in town on average.
  10. JLUR 3.6 with 8 speed with 37s and 5.13 gears rpm?

    I can't give you an exact answer, because have 38" tires now. The way I made my decision to go with 5.13 is looking over a gearing chart here on the forum. The RPM with the factory 4.10 gears in 7th is nearly the same as 5.13 in 8th. My rig cruised without issue in 7th, and I was happy with...
  11. Gazelle in a JL?

    I tried it, and it will work. The doors will need pushed closed, basically a press fit!
  12. Gazelle in a JL?

    I have a T3 and it will fit side to side in the back seat area with the seats folded. I have a crowded cargo area (Fridge, drawer, corner bags, and cargo shelf) so I can't try it back there. You may be able to utilize the small spot between the roll bar and the back glass, so the tent would...
  13. Rusty's Tire Carrier - Question for those who have it.

    Here is an older pic with 37s on the same setup.
  14. Rusty's Tire Carrier - Question for those who have it.

    Sorry for the weird angle, but it's what I have on my phone. That is the Rusty's carrier at the highest setting, with a 38" Milestar, and a steel Rock Hard bumper.
  15. Texas Absolute best lift kit

    Asking what is the absolute "best" lift kit is a bit like asking what is the best dog. Everyone thinks theirs is the best, and nobody is really wrong. That being said I will be the first of many to suggest the Metalcloak Gamechanger.
  16. Who is running 38x13.50r17? Offset question?

    All minor now. The rear tried to rip the factory inner fender liner off, so I cut a bunch of that out on the trail one day. With the rear inner liners replaced (I used Metalcloak) and the rear corner trimmed, the rear will occasionally make contact with the flare while at full bump. Just...
  17. Who is running 38x13.50r17? Offset question?

    Same width wheel, just the slight difference in offset.
  18. Who is running 38x13.50r17? Offset question?

    I run the 38" Milestars, and my wheels have a 5" BS. The only rubbing I get is at full articulation. I ran 37" Milestars with 4.75" BS wheels previously, and they do tuck better. However, there is a lot of different variables that change how the tires actually fit different Jeeps. I ended up...
