Love this! I couldn’t find any pics of a 2 door rig with the specs I’ve wanted to build!After 2500 miles, finally had the time to lift her.
Mopar 2” lift
Mickey MTZ 37x13.5r18
Moto metal wheels
What spacers did you add on top?2" Mopar lift with Toyo 35" tires
to - 2" Mopar lift with 3/4" coil spacers and Toyo 37" tires
other than the new height the Jeep doesn't know the difference ...
3/4" coil spacers - front and rearWhat spacers did you add on top?
This is answered in various ways in various threads -- that being said -- biggest risk seems to be in the steering department more-so than drivetrain/gearing department. I needed a stabilizer on mine (37 KO2s & Mopar 2 inch lift). I struggle on the highway with the 4.10 gears but I would not say it is unlivable (especially if this is your weekend warrior rig). Driving <50 MPH is no problem at all given the new auto transmission & ratios. Hope that helps.Loving all the pictures. Seems like 37's are more and more popular. How are people's experiences with 37's on the new JL in terms of engine performance and overall drive city/highway? Are 37's fine on stock components or should you start looking at upgrading drivetrain, etc with 37's?
Definitely 37s. If you have a Rubicon and don't plan on lifting it run the 35s. If you run 2"+ you'll be sorry a week later if you don't get the 37s. I wish I would have bought the 38s instead of the 37s. Now im running the 38s with the stock 4.10s and it feels the same. The JL is nothing like the JK. I put 5.13s in my JK with 35" tires and it was still a pig. The JL is nothing like that. Also, yes on the highway you'll 8th sometimes but I just put it in manual mode and upshift. No big deal.Loving all the pictures. Seems like 37's are more and more popular. How are people's experiences with 37's on the new JL in terms of engine performance and overall drive city/highway?

https://zautomotive.com/product/tazer-jl/What is being done to adjust the speedometer to account for the tire size change? Or is this still not something that can be done yet with the lack of a JL programmer?
Yes you lose 8th for the most part. On the highway after I get up to speed I'll put it in manual mode and shift into 8th. It holds it for the most part.Those of you running 37's. Did you loose 8th gear?
Local dealer quoted $1495 for parts and $595 labor, $2090 for Mopar 2" lift. Speedo update $145. Also providing $500 credit for 33" to 35".I was quoted 10 hours by one dealer, I ultimately negotiated $2895 for the lift and install. I doubt that’s the best deal around tho.
I was quoted 1695 for mopar lift installed. Seems like a great deal based on these prices.Local dealer quoted $1495 for parts and $595 labor, $2090 for Mopar 2" lift. Speedo update $145. Also providing $500 credit for 33" to 35".
