Euro Spec JL Rubicon Diesel
Hi from the UK! Ive just picked up a 2.2 diesel Rubicon JLU , my question is really regarding the lower fenders that are fitted on the EU rubicon which I take it are the same as the sport and Sahara models, I'm interested to know if these fenders provide enough clearance when at full articulation with the sway bar disconnected on 35s and would a 2.5 or 3.5 lift be better ? Thanks

Following your post, which would be the best option new high fender flares or 2.5 inch lift for running 35inch tyres ?

Hello,
I am located in Abu Dhabi, UAE and my JLU Rubicon is European spec with the low fenders.
I changed my tires to 37s (315/70/17 KO2s)
The tires rub on U turns and in articulation, but still drive-able in the desert and dune bashing.

I am thinking of going two routes:
1) High Fenders-US Rubicon spec
2) MOPAR lift kits

The fenders are almost 1/3 of the lift kit price so I might just do that to avoid the rubbing.
