Done the front, still have to do the Mopar lower control arms and the steering brace.

Initial thoughts, it drives a lot better. Doesn’t feel so heavy and handles the extra weight better. Feels stiffer in the corners and handles bumps better then it did completely stock.

Is that extra bumpstop in the last photo?

Those Timbren Active Off-Road Bump Stops (front is a little longer then stock), I have them front and rear. Suppose to be a progressive bump stop. Previous stock setup I was in them all the time. Even in some scenarios I was sitting on them in the rear on the passenger side (Full tank of fuel, my really big sister in the passenger seat and 50-70 pounds in the back). So I am hopping this overly expensive upgrade is worth it if I find myself bumping them again.

When researching, this thread over at the Gladiator forum from a member with Mojave had good things to say about running them in the rear.

EDIT:
Another pic I snapped immediately after with better lighting.

I'm curious how the lightest XR springs would work on my JLR hardtop steel bumper... I suspect it would be around regular XR height (which is what I want).
See my Xtreme Recon Lite - 2 Door Edition thread. I ended up with ~1.75" of lift. Took it offroad for the first time this weekend and it was noticeably smoother and more composed than the stock JLR suspension with 35's.

Have I seen your thread before ordering my springs, I would have probably ordered the XR setup. But I think I am currently overall happy with the JLUR setup. Prior to the spring swap, it felt very heavy and would often hit bump stops. New setup reminds almost to how it was when completely stock. With the exception the Fox 2.0 stocks are stiffer then OEM Rubicon, but in a good way. Sure I can feel bumps and train tracks more, but rather then bouncing over them (OEM Rubicon shocks), they (Fox) recover almost instantly (I like this). Corners feel more planted.

I haven’t drove it off-road yet, still have the bad locker position sensor in the back and hadn’t had a chance to deal with it. But I am sure it will do better. If I still I need more lift, I may try the Xtreme Recon springs and put these JLU Rubicon Springs on my parents JLU Sahara.

I do like the height and stance as it sits now though. Much improved visually in my opinion and happy with on road performance. Off road is yet to be tested and I think I will make that decision when I do the Georgia Traverse to see if I need to make anymore suspension improvements.

After a little over a 1,000 miles with the setup. I’m still satisfied with the way it drives and still certainly higher then it was. But it’s settled and basically sits level with my parents JLU even though I’m on 315 70 17s.

This winter, I’m going to install the @Metalcloak 2.5” lift and will order as soon soon as I see another sale. Then will put these JLUR and Fox shocks on my parents Jeep.

Just a little interesting side note, I convinced my stepfather to order the new 4.5”Metalcloak lift for for his 2020 Ram 2500. He was super excited by the intro sale. It will be on 37 x 12.5 20” Methods.
