Has anybody measured height before and after the lift? These pictures look like they give more than 1.5 inches of lift.

It is a spacer lift. Lift height=spacer thickness.

@Mr.Klean - Nice rig man! The 35's with 1.5' spacer lift looks great. I thought 35's on stock wheels wouldn't look good but those Toyo's work. I got my 2019 JLUR a couple month ago now. I want to run 35's and at most a 2" lift on it.

Another thing that caught my eye was your rock sliders/steps. They remind me of the LOD Destroyer Series rocker guards, except it looks like the cover the entire pinch seam! I don't like the way the LOD Destroyers leave an inch or two of exposed pinch seam.
Where did you get those sliders from? are they body or frame mounted and does manufacture advertise they hold up against the rocks?

I did the ST1 kit but used fox 2.0 shocks on our MOAB

Attached before and after with 315s KO2s on stock wheels with 1.75” spacers

Sorry haven’t been on the forums for a short bit. Thanks for the compliments on the spacer lift. The tires did work out well and in my opinion the 315/70R17 Open Country m/t’s worked out great. The steps are the 1st version of the Roam Offroad body mount steps. They do manufacture frame mounted steps now also.

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.

How long did it take for the re-valving? I have never sent mine back but I am getting tired of the stiff ride quality. I am also running E rated tires.

what is the limiting factor? Did you install the bump stop striker kit?
Yes. And after the first trip off-road, I have replaced the factory shocks.

As far as the stiff ride goes, I know your pain! At the time I sent mine in, I believe it was only around 3 days. I just ran my stock shocks temporarily while I was waiting.

I still have my factory rubi shocks so I’m good there. I just remember when I was running stock shocks the ride was a less bit stiff. Lol

We’re they too short or did you just not like how the stock shocks performed with the spacers
Both. The stockers were overwhelmed off-road. Probably the added weight of 35’s, bumper, winch. Also, they extend out with a thud, not long enough. I’ve added the Falcon 2.1’s. Firmer on road, will see soon how they do off road. If I’m not happy, I’ll probably just order a spring lift and go to 37’s.

Thanks for the reply and anxious for your thoughts on the falcons off road.
