I posted this elsewhere, but it may be helpful to have here for someone that needs a little more info on lift types and what’s out there for the JL currently.
Hey guys. So I’ve searched the forum and while this may have been answered before, I have missed it.
I just ordered a DV8 stubby bumper as well as a 9500 lb winch for our Sport S JLU. I know a 2” lift is needed to run 35” tires (I think since still on stock tires and suspension) but I am also...
Brand new. in crate. 2 inch Mopar lift with Fox shocks. Asking what I paid so I can get what I need and my wife will talk to me again. Colorado Springs.
In a lot of ways, owning a Jeep is like having a kid, right? For one, they're expensive to buy. Now you may be saying, "I didn't buy my kids!", to which I reply, "Yes you did." You either adopted them, or you walked into a hospital one day and left with a kid (and a large bill). I dunno about...
JL Rubicon stock suspension, only had 5 miles on it before the take off. Includes all of the parts you see in the picture that were taken off (everything you need). Adds a 1 inch lift to stock Wranglers. Will fit on any JL. $350 for all, shipping would be extra. Pick up in or near Detroit or...
My wife and I picked up our Firecracker Red JLU Sport S back in May. It's our first ever Jeep, and we've been making it our own (with the amazing help of these forums) ever since. Here are some photos of the stock Jeep, fresh out of the dealership:
We (almost) immediately set out to make the...
Im looking to purchase a brand new Rubicon JLU, I'd Like to have a +2 inch mopar lift installed along with swapping the tires for 35's. Im wondering if anyone would know how much a mod like this might cost from the dealership?
I want to know what the biggest tire I can clear is. I have a JLU sport s. I also have rubicon take off suspension waiting to go on. The two tire sizes I'm debating between are 285/75/17 and 315/70/17. Will the rubi suspension clear me enough to fit the 315s? Thanks.
i would imagine most forum members “mod” their rides at some level. I’d be curious if most of your mods are for fun - cool decals, maybe exhaust, lift,etc that you do knowing you’ll never go anywhere near rocks - or function like a winch to pull stumps, lift to get rock clearance, etc.
I...
i installed the Racor lift in my garage and can’t for the life of me understand why the side that is opposite the gearbox is wanting to cross thread the cable when the other side is just fine
... well sort of.
The other weekend she gets home from a trip to the mountains with her daughters. The first words out of her mouth weren't "Hi" or "Hello" they were "I'm not driving this Jeep anymore until you lift it!!! I looked like a sissy in the mountains with all those lifted Jeeps!"
Well...
So doing some research I saw that the largest tire size that Discount Tire will install on a JLU Sport S is 34/10.5/17. This is close to a 35 inch tire but I'm curious if you can get away without installing a lift kit using this size of tire?
Has anyone installed these yet with pics?
I just called the dealer where I bought my JLU Sahara. I asked how much it costs to adjust the speedometer to compensate for larger tires. On the JLU it is a simple software tweak but of course the dealer wants to make that costly.
$125 for the "contract" with Chrysler to buy the software.
$65...
I am probably going to be purchasing the 2.5 RC kit for now.
We are trying to figure out what the factory offset is for the JL Sport and if with the 2.5 kit we can run our factory wheels with the 35/12.5/17 KO2s we already have. Would we need spacers/different wheels?
Anyone have pictures of...
I'm looking to build a hardtop hoist and trying to come up with some ideas. Concerns:
1. I could bolt into the rafters, but that could jeopardize the structure of the trusses if I don't get the exact centers, even when using 2x4s cross-ways to distribute the weight - I could mess up several...
We love our Sahara. Off the lot, it's geared 3.45 with the Dana 44 limited slip upgrade. We have some nice 18x7.5 255/70 Goodyear Wrangler ATs on them, with the cute 7 spoke upgraded wheels.
We're not a fan of the wheels.
We'd like to drop in the MOPAR 2" lift kit and drop in some 35's or...
