392 Specific Lift Kits

[dgerb]

Do you mind letting me know measurements at ride height -- eye to eye, for front and rear with your setup?

What tires are you running?

For the front, eye to eye, I get 23". For the rear, I get 26 3/8". I'm running STT Pro 37x12.5x17 on 9" rims.
Hope that helps...

Got 22.5” eye to eye on both up front, 26” driver rear 25.5” passenger rear on mine. Kind of hard to measure the rear exact with the fender liner in place. Warn Zeon 10S up front, stock bumper with end caps removed. Full tank of gas.

I have the teraflex spacers and mopar LCAs and plan to put on this weekend. Will see how it rides.

@Usethis83 Any update on the spacers and LCAs? I'm interested in this as well

Me too!

I spoke with AEV last week and they said longer LCAs weren’t needed with their 2” spacer lift, even on the 392 - though they did say that was a reasonable concern. If we’re at 2” of factory lift with stock LCAs, I don’t see how adding 2 more inches of lift doesn’t push castor and driveline angles beyond reasonable numbers. I’m still considering LCAs, but think I’m going to go ahead and add geometry correction brackets. There is some probability that I’m going to go with AEV’s upcoming 392 lift anyways which uses the brackets. Even if I don’t, I used those brackets on my JK and, ground clearance aside, they worked well for me.

My 22 has a build date of Saturday, so probably another month before I have any hands on with all this …

Actually yes. I knocked it out Saturday. I am really happy with the overall height. I have not driven it yet becuase it needs shock extensions to work well. I was hoping to drive it before going deeper down the rabbit hole, but the stock shocks ( which i really like) are too short to even drive on the street. I dont want to clog up this thread with my frankenlift, so i will put more detail and better pics in my build thread. Teraflex 2" front, 1.5" rear, mopar 24.25 lcas and teraflex 2" bumps.

For $379 the AEV spacer lift is a pretty good deal. I’ll probably add the control arms up front. This should get me by until I decide where to go from there and will clear 37’s after the weight added from winch and rear aev carrier

exactly what I’m doing, except I’m leaning towards correction brackets. Jeep should be here in a couple of weeks, so hoping to have everything installed by the end of the month.

Here are some better pics of the TeraFlex extended bumps, 2 inch front & 1.5 rear spacer, shock extensions and mopar LCAs. It drives great. Super happy.

Rear shock from same flex pic, wasn’t touching the bump stops yet. Getting it on a fork lift to fine tune with 37s next week

Exact info I was looking for, thank you!
Any updates?

Hope to have some today or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow. Still have to install the Metalcloak Drag Link + Tie Rod, Steersmarts Track Bar/Sector Shaft Brace (and center/align everything), Adams Driveshafts and new Icon Comp Rock Rails. Then I’ll throw it on the fork lift and double check everything. Leaving for its inaugural wheeling trip Friday so it all has to be done by then.

Spending a bit of time researching 392 capable lift kits. I initially considered a TeraFlex spacer lift for the short term fix to keep 37" tires from rubbing off road while waiting for the market to mature offerings for the 392. But with Clayton and MetalCloak already out there with 392 kits, I decided to just consider a proper lift system, buy once cry once.

I narrowed down to Clayton, MetalCloak, and JKS based on informal discussions with jeeper enthusiasts, installers, and general info available thru forums, YT, social media, etc. My first choice was JKS and really like the girth of the control arms, 2" with 0.25" thick walls. I did just call JKS 9/23/21 and they indicated the two lift kits I considered, the 3.5" J-Connect and the 3.5" J-Krawl will not fit the 392. I damn near pulled the trigger and glad I called but also really disappointed JKS will not fit as of today. Clayton's lift is currently backordered, good for them and a good sign of the interest from 392 owners in aftermarket lifts. So, the 3.5" Game Changer MetalCloak has moved into the lead, but just their lift and not their shocks. I am pretty sure that whatever direction I go, the lift will be paired with the Fox 2.5 Elite series with DSC shocks.

Interested in what other lifts 392 owners are considering, particularly with larger tires than the OEM 33s.

Also, if you have a lift installed, comment below on which one along with pros and cons of that lift.

And let me know in the comments below if I missed some lifts available for the 392.

Damn, that looks nice. Love to see on a 392 in the wild.

We have a few 392's currently running different lifts, with one being our RT4 long arm kit and another being a CT3 short arm kit. Fitment wise everything lines up so far, but we've gone into long term testing with them and a few different kits to test long term durability and performance to better understand if any changes are needed.

Any update on the RT4 or CT3 kits for the 392? Thanks for the update.

Any update on the RT4 or CT3 kits for the 392? Thanks for the update.

We've still got them heavily in the works, and things have been moving along pretty smooth. We don't have an exact final set ETA quite yet, but we're hoping for this summer possibly early fall this year. Stay tuned!
