Looks great, when you get a sec can you measure from ground to the drip edge on the hardtop. Color doesn’t really matter when it comes to parts, I just care that they work. I think the TeraFlex IR arms are probably the best arms on the market and Steer Smarts steering linkage is speak for themselves. I’ll probably end up with the MC 2.5 and go with Rusty’s under armor. I am a big fan of the black e coating they use.
Drip edge bottom at the B pillar is at 74" with rig empty, steel bumpers and winch but under armor not yet installed. Tailgate holding up just fine. Eventually I'll be going with new rear bumper/tire carrier setup, likely AEV. And the only color that matters most around our water and salt is that of rust - that to be avoided.

Wash, wash, wash, my man, I wash mine twice a week and power wash it underneath at least once a week. The salt up here is brutal!!

Just trying to get an idea of what I’ll actually see with a MC 2.5”. My “2” Mopar sits at 2.75” after it settled and it’s heavily weighted down.

I had mine fluid filmed underneath. We'll see how that goes. Same salt issues here.

A few pics to compliment the one posted in this thread. I did not bother to take a before lift measurement but estimate door sills have risen between four and five inches given the lift and 37's over stock 33's. As for flex comparisons, I cannot speak for that of comparable mfg setups but would guess it's comparable within an inch here or there. And tech comparisons aside, I am a big fan of MC's zinc coating [over painted] , especially when it compliments the under armor.

And home/work is Concord MA with an office in Nashua. Cheers.

I just wanted to compliment you on probably my favorite Jeep I've seen yet! I do have a question on your Icon wheels. Those come in both Titanium and Gunmetal. Are yours the Gunmetal finish?

Thanks. I went with gunmetal Icon Alphas. The color looks nice with granite crystal.

How do you like the lift with the falcons in general? I’m looking for a new a new lift and was considering the Teraflex ST2 but am constantly hearing how stiff they are, even their new SP line has the same reviews.
I am absolutely thrilled with the way everything turned out after a little tweaking. The Maximus-3 2.5 Geo lift, when first installed, sagged in the rear 1/4 in. I added 2 stacked Tereflex 1/2" coil spacers to the rear and now it sits perfect. After dialing in the tire pressure on my KO2s (31-32 cold psi), the ride is fantastic. Definitely better than stock. I also considered the Teraflex ST2 and the Metalcloak lift before making my decision, but my main goal was the best, most comfortable road ride as my off-roading will be minimal.... at least for a while. So after talking to a lot of people and doing a lot of research, I went with the Maximus-3. Steering is better than stock with the lift, but not perfect. Will probably address that in the future. Overall, I wouldn't change a thing at this point. Very pleased.

I appreciate the feedback, but my insatiable appetite to tweak and adjust would not be fed by the Geo. I went TeraFlex because they use a softer linear rate spring which I like better than a progressive, paired with the 3.3 should give enough adjustability, hopefully I made the right decision, Time will tell

3.5 EVO Enforcer Stage 3 Plus, with Rancho RS9000XL shocks, 37x12.5x17 Cooper STT Pro’s on Method Roost wheels. I have nothing but good things to say about this lift/shock combination. Ride height is perfect with stock Rubicon fenders, no rubbing. Rancho adjustable shocks let me soften things up off road and stiffen the ride for better handling on street.

Well, you obviously have impeccable taste in color LOL I’ve had nothing but problems with Rancho and their customer service is awful!! I got Rancho control arm skids for my 2020 and they don’t fit right, I called Rancho and they told me because they only list them up to a 2019 they won’t cover it under warranty!!! I will never give them another penny of my money. I’ll post a pic so you can see what I’m talking about, can’t tighten the shock because the bracket doesn’t sit flush against the shock mount. Now they won’t return a call or email, complete horse shit!! I got the Rancho skids because they mount to the shock side as well as the control arm. I’ve had issues in the past with skids that only mount to the control arm bracket, they can slide down. Rustys solved this problem with their skids, they mount to the control arm as well as the left side of the shock bracket so the fit doesn’t have to be as precise and eliminates the issue I’m having with the Rancho skids.
