  1. Home alignment tool.. anyone tried these

    I used one similar on mine when I installed the lift and steering. I set it to somewhere between 0-1/32" toe out and had terrible death wobble. Took it to the shop to have the alignment checked on a machine and it was actually at 1/4" toe in. Set it to 1/16" toe in and it drove perfect ever since.
  2. Philosophical Question

    I am running the same wheels, mine are just the Mopar version from before they put them on the XR and I donā€™t have any clearance issues. I have since added 1.25ā€ spacers to them now but that was just because I wanted it to sit a little wider for stability, not because I had to. The spacers I am...
  3. Shock, Springs & Suspension Information Chart Matrix

    It was, and just barely. I ran them like that for several months without any real damage to the shock body, just a rub mark. I was on stock wheels no spacers for a little bit as well, but by the time I put the Evo brackets on, I had swapped to the XR style wheels. No issues there. I have since...
  4. Shock, Springs & Suspension Information Chart Matrix

    That threshold is subjective to several factors I would think, so no definite answer on that. But definitely the combination of longer and larger bodies at some point will need an outboard bracket. My front Fox 2.5s are 28.5" extended, and did contact the frame without the outboard brackets...
  5. Philosophical Question

    I am just running the same Evo outboard brackets that @Roky is running. If your shocks are too short currently, using the MetalCloak outboard brackets will work just as well and also raise the lower shock mount 1.5", effectively giving you 1.5" less up travel, and 1.5" more droop. If you...
  6. Philosophical Question

    I had a similar conversation with AccuTune before/when I ordered my 2.5s. The long story shortened is with a properly setup 2.5 with ~5" of up travel, you'll hardly ever bottom out, negating the need for Air Bumps. I can verify that with around 20k miles on mine now, and some pretty hard hits...
  7. Talk to me about my plans for 37s

    Good points added by both. Exactly why I mentioned you, I knew something beneficial would be added. I will also mention to your point about shock extension, my shocks extend to ~28.5ā€ and my 37s clear with 2ā€ of bump stop and stock fenders/liners.
  8. Talk to me about my plans for 37s

    What did you score on the metalcloak trailer?
  9. Talk to me about my plans for 37s

    Unpopular opinion, Ride height (lift height) has nothing to do with tire clearance. Tire clearance is controlled by how much bump stop you have added. Ride Height/Lift Height then controls how much up travel you have which will greatly impact ride quality. You can likely clear 40s at factory...
  10. Aftermarket Jeep JL HD steering kit questions ???

    I have Rusty's Aluminum Steering and Love it. No complaints here at all.
  11. Rock Krawler maintenance & All brands suspension general conversation

    A few weeks ago, me and a buddy were out riding and found this open stretch and decided to see how fast I could hit it. If you slow the video down where you can see how much the front axle is moving and see what the terrain really looks like, those @AccuTunedJL Fox 2.5s are doing WORK! It was...
  12. Rock Krawler maintenance & All brands suspension general conversation

    The few issues I found (most I already knew about) include: Fully coil binding front springs before the bump stops contact, considering swapping springs or adding bump stop, not sure which I want to do yet, I don't need more bump for fender clearance, but with just 1 more inch of bump I could...

    @Roky Have you ever had a chance to put yours on the Metalcloak trailer? I put mine on it at PCBJJ a few weeks ago, it did pretty good but definitely found some opportunities for improvement. I wish I had access to it all the time lol it would be a very useful tool.
  14. Anyone try Rustys suspension lift kit?

    Absolutely love them. My general comment about them is that they are my #1 favorite modification I have ever made to any vehicle, not just the Jeep. Kinda leaning towards dual sport tune whenever itā€™s time for a rebuild. I went with the adventure tune (I think thatā€™s what it was called, had...
  15. Anyone try Rustys suspension lift kit?

    They have their own shocks they will likely recommend, but I canā€™t speak to those as I already had Fox 2.5s from AccuTune prior to buying my lift from them. Whether you choose to run their shocks or not, they can atleast tell you the ideal compressed and extended lengths you will need on...
  16. Anyone try Rustys suspension lift kit?

    A large reason for that, Rustyā€™s doesnā€™t go through dealers or distributors, they sell direct to consumer only. This allows them to offer a much better price on high quality product without having to factor in dealer markup into their pricing. This also results in no dealers or distributors...
  17. Anyone try Rustys suspension lift kit?

    Iā€™m running the same kit essentially as the one you linked, with the exception of the springs. I have a 4Xe and am currently the only 4Xe running their kit. With it being heavier, we went with the 3.75ā€ diesel springs, and still had to add a 3/4ā€ spacer in the rear. Anyways, all of that is...

    Someone from the group I rode with yesterday posted these pics of my Jeep, not sure how good you can tell the width of it here, but itā€™ll give you a little idea of how it looks. I had pulled it over on the rock out of the way while we stopped at an overlook lol
  19. Rock Krawler maintenance & All brands suspension general conversation

    It should be right where youā€™d want it. I will try to get a few pics of mine soon and share on here. I was trying to still fit mine on my 82ā€ wide trailer, and these put me at 81.5ā€ šŸ˜… so hopefully it still fits lol
  20. Rock Krawler maintenance & All brands suspension general conversation

    Iā€™m running some 1.25ā€ spacers on the Mopar wheels (same as XR wheels, mine are just the black ones instead of gray) and love it so far. Actually did some light offroading today without any issue with them. Few pics attached below. I donā€™t have a good pic of the whole Jeep with them on yet, but...
