New Jeep should get here next week or two so now time to order the suspension parts, wheels, and tires.

As I missed the XR package, going to go with 37s (BFG K02 C) on AEV, I think, Borahs.

For suspension, debating between:

plus Falcon shocks

and

https://rockkrawler.com/jlu-2-5-inch-x-factor-no-limits-stage-1/

One better than the other?
Or should I be looking at something else altogether?
These 2.5”s would be perfect for 37s on a JLUR, yes?

Will be a daily driver with some offroading (nothing crazy).

Lastly, would I be well served in upgrading the Rubi brakes or are they good as-is for 37s?

Thank you

As far as the brakes, might wait and see how satisfied you are w/ their performance, might consider upgrading to a more aggressive pad like the Powerstop Z36 pad, rockauto has the best pricing on those that I've seen. I've heard that Hawk is making JL pads, they should be a step up from the Powerstops but haven't heard any reviews on them yet.

Need to select sets that specify 342mm rear rotor for your Rubicon
