Did you have to buy new control arms or track bar for this lift? I see that you're in STL too, who did the work on your Jeep?
I didn't have to, it just gave me the excuse to. ;) I had to adjust my LCA about a 1/4" to set the caster where I wanted it and the same for the track bar. I did my own work, except for the alignment. All my mods are in my sig.

Installed the ST1 kit, bumpstops, and Alpine front lower control arms yesterday. Falcon 3.3 shocks should be delivered early next week. With stock rubicon shocks, it drives very similar to stock. I’ll eventually add front and rear trackbars to square up the axles and get a decent alignment.

Edit: Installed the Falcon shocks yesterday. Took some measurements and I’m gonna need to add a .5” spacer up front to compensate for the winch, and level it out.

looks good Alan! It was coin toss on those 701s in black or the Mopar slotted rims for me. Hoping to get my sliders in the next week or so. Gotta catch up with you guys

Looks awesome! Looks like there still some front rake in the last pic. Is that so or just the angle of the photo?

And are those 35s? Did you add wheel spacers? TeraFlex says they’re required for factory wheels which doesn’t make sense to me.

Thanks! This looks pretty much like the perfect amount of lift. What size are the tires/wheel?
They are 17" wheels with 35x12.5 R17 tires.

Oh interesting. Why’d you choose that size? Just more clearance?
Mostly for the C load rating and their daily driver friendly road manners. Once these wear out I’ll probably give the Patagonia M/T a try.

It’s was the angle of the photo that made it look like it had rake. The tires are Toyo Open Country MT 315/70R17 which is a 34.6. Also there were no wheel spacers when I was running factory wheels. Here’s a updated picture with the same spacer lift and pro comp 17x8.5 wheels

Keith, just so you know, I honestly don't think mine are defective. I just think I'm getting old and therefore require the "plush" ride that the stock setup offered. :cwl:
I've been in contact with the Teraflex support and they are going to re-valve my Falcons. They will actually be picked up tomorrow by UPS, so hopefully in a few weeks I can report back if anyone is interested.
During my research, I asked their tech several questions, including can they confidently soften the ride up and was told the following
Yes we have worked with and tested a much softer valving that we can run in your shock. The jeep will not be quite as stable but feel much softer and more comfortable.
Well, I'm not too worried about the "stable" part, as I have never intended on corner carving with my lifted Rubicon.
How did the revalving work out?

Michael, they're exactly as promised after re-valving and after close to 12k miles, the best word to describe them is "plush". They are noticeably softer than the stock shock but paired with the E rated Coopers, the ride is excellent. I've had more than one passenger comment on how well the on-road manners are. Off road, they work as well as I had hoped too. Knowing what I know and if I had to do it all over, I would order straight from Teraflex and request the custom valving from the start.

I am. I like the ride, but was worried about length. Flexed a little, and the stock shocks don’t seem to be the limiting factor.
