Thanks! It was about 79-80" with those 38's. I don't garage mine, but I do run into parking garages in my travels and like having the longer factory antenna that serves as an early warning.
I've been starting to look into axles for a future upgrade, but keep retreating from the topic because it brings up a lot of extra questions. High pinion, low pinion, full float, etc. I just haven't had time to individually research the advantage/disadvantage of those to see if they'd benefit my specific setup. I do know that I'd opt for 5.13's and arb lockers. And the idea of wider axles and less backspace would certainly benefit scrub radius. Hearing that Dynatrac is the only one who offers wider than factory Rubicon axles is starting to make that choice easier.
There are a few other options for wider axles. Currie, Fusion, and Spidertrax all do custom width axles. If you ever wanted help in making some decisions my opinion is free and you don't have to take it.
Currie is the other one that has caught my eye.There are a few other options for wider axles. Currie, Fusion, and Spidertrax all do custom width axles. If you ever wanted help in making some decisions my opinion is free and you don't have to take it.
Well now that you have your MC lift right where you want it you may as well start looking at long arm kit while swapping axles
Yeah, that definitely part of the equation. Like when doing ball joints, it only makes sense to also do knuckles and axle shafts while you're in there.Well now that you have your MC lift right where you want it you may as well start looking at long arm kit while swapping axles
That would be nice kit. Would have to believe it will be quality with their rep.
It would actually take a lot to make me not go with the Rock Krawler hybrid 3-link kit like Roky has. It's a phenomenal setup and RK already has a year or so of time with it out in the public, which is the best place to fine tune it.That would be nice kit.

Pretty sure @Roky will still speak to you if choose MC long arm over RK
Chopping the factory fenders is a relatively easy way to gain about 3.5" of clearance in the front wheelwells and 2-2.5" in the rears. Also, your rear pinch seams on the backsides of the rear wheelwells will probably need some trimming.Got a great deal on some Nitto Ridge Grappler 38X12.50R17 (Load C) on Teraflex Nomads. I am currently researching all of the wisdom on the forum regarding fender clearance strategies. Currently running Teraflex 2.5" Coil Spring Base Lift Kit, 9550 VSS Twin-Tube Shocks, front HD forged drag link, rear trackbar axle bracket, front control arm brackets, Falcon Nexus EF 2.2, and a Synergy front track bar and sector shaft brace.
Currently, my 19 JLUR has the 4.5" Metalcloak Gamechanger with the 6-packs. It actually gave 5.5" in the front and 6" in the rear. It's been absolutely awesome both on and off road.
I just ordered those springs, that’s a lot of lift! Did you flip your draglink?Currently, my 19 JLUR has the 4.5" Metalcloak Gamechanger with the 6-packs. It actually gave 5.5" in the front and 6" in the rear. It's been absolutely awesome both on and off road.
I have a "vehicle showcase" that can be found by clicking on my user name at the top of this post.
I also made a thread titled "the road so far", but it's just my rattling off what I've done and some conversation. I almost never take pics during installations because of time constraints. Usually just pics of the pile of stuff that's about to go on that day. And before and after shots of my Jeep.
