Just had 17x9 Fuel Hostage wheels and 35/12.50R17 BFG KO2 AT tires put on the Granite Eagle! Very happy with this setup!

I just bought a 2019 JL Rubicon, driving myself crazy trying to figure out what to do. I like your setup, but am curious almost a year later if you have had any issues with rub without a lift? How do you like the tires, noticable difference in ride from the stock? Thanks!

Hello from St. Louis. The before and after, 2 1/2” lift with 37” nittos. Sorry about the bad after picture that’s all I have now.

What wheels are those ?

Mopar lift, 37 12.5 17 Toyo Open country M/T, 2" spacers to fit factory rubicon wheels.

How does this drive compared to the stock setup?

I'm considering Clayton as well. What made you chose the Icon shocks over the other choices?

I cant recommend the Clayton kit enough. The Overland Plus kit uses their new Giiro joints, basically a high mis-allignment rubber bushing if you aren't familiar. I always roll my eyes when people claim a vehicle rides the same as stock with a lift, but I find myself having a hard time not making that claim myself now. Plus all of their parts are top notch and they put a lot of attention to detail in. The only thing to be aware of is it probably nets a little more than 2.5" of lift, but not a big deal. I didn't measure it versus stock so I cant be sure how much, but if you measure yours stock I'd be happy to measure against it on mine.

As far as Icon, they make some pretty premium stuff, right up there with FOX, and these shocks with the compression adjustability built in are really a nice thing to have on a rig that sees a lot of different uses. I have run a lot of FOX on other Jeeps I have, and had absolutely 0 complaints with them, but wanted to try something new this time around, and have worked with the Icon guys a number of times via my job...solid dudes. I haven't put many miles on the setup yet, but over the last 200 or so I have 0 regrets and don't foresee having any moving forward.

Thanks for the thorough response. I've heard about Clayton for a while now and it's on the top of my list. Now to look into the Icon shocks!

I cant recommend the Clayton kit enough.

Alright, here ya go. '18 Rubicon, MetalCloak Game Changer 3.5" system, Cooper STT Pro 37x12.50R17, my old JK Rubicon wheels powder coated matte black (which are now rock rashed to hell--as they should be), bumpers of my own making (not painted yet), and Artec steel belly pans.

Photos are from 4th of July weekend when we hit the Rubicon Trail and Barrett Lake Trail. Two great trails in 3 days. The JLU handled the trails 27 times better than our old 2013 Rubicon 2 door. I'll never look back. We also went up to the Downieville/Sierra City area and went up to Sierra Buttes and then dropped down to the Sardine Lakes in the Gold Lake region last weekend. We're loving the JLU! We'll go up to Slick Rock Trail at the end of August and then Tackle Dusy Ershim Trail at the end of September. Then the 1 tons go in in the fall.

I'm working on rock sliders now. One side is tack welded up, I'll shoot some video of assembling the other.

Would you happen to know the height? I want to make sure I will fit in the garage, when my stuff comes in.

Nice, looks sharp, might go with same lift and tires.

Damn that looks fantastic! Well done sir! The Mojito color match beadlock is clutch. One of the beast Mojitos rigs I’ve seen. Really like the look of the Toyo’s.

Thank you, much appreciated. I had this build laid out in August before I even placed my jeep order... ordered 11/6 and waited 10wks for delivery. As soon as it was delivered I placed all my part orders to get me started with the bulk of my build
