Not lifted from the factory.

LMAO! I’m just a fanatic who happens to have done this a long long time. My fingers are crossed for Wednesday but they don’t tell us anything on this keel as to when the time stamps are for new options, colors, etc. The reps don’t know either. I have came to the conclusion after many years that FCA just pulls things out of their prevebial ass and boom, there it is.

Thanks for being honest.

I read that it comes with a 2”
Factory lift[/QU

The Rubi comes already higher than the Sport or Sahara. However, it does not include the Mopar 2" lift. Some of it comes from the tires (33's), but some of it comes from the suspension. I parked my JKUR next to a JLUR and the JLUR stood slightly taller. My JK has a 2" lift and 33's. I've not heard or seen anything that indicates the 2" Mopar lift can be had from the factory. However, your dealer can get it and install it. It comes out in March, according to Jeep.

I just don't think Jeep calls the Rubicon "lifted" in stock form, even though it stands a little taller.

Thanks! Hopefully mine will be in sometime in March, so maybe the dealer can slap it on when it arrives!

Good find! . It looks like it is a 1" body lift, but it is not something you can orderand (it is a standard Rubi feature, not an add on), and it shouldn't be confused with the Mopar lift kit, which is a suspension lift, and adds another 2". It can't be ordered from the factory, at least at this time. Btw, the tires add the other inch compared to the largest Sport or Sahara tires.

No lift, higher fenders.

No lift, higher fenders.

I don’t mean to be condescending, but did you read the article? Is it wrong then? I understand there is no lift kit, but my understanding is it does sit higher due to its suspension being stiffer. I know a lot of misinformation has been stated about the JL. Are you sure there is no “lift” to it?

The body may be an inch higher from the factory, but I think I saw somewhere that no lift is needed for 35" tires. The fender flares are 2" higher on the Rubi and allow for 35" tires to be put on without a lift kit. Notice the top of the fender on the Rubi compared to the Sport S below.

Didn’t have a tape measure or do I have a dog in this fight, but I viewed a sport and Rubi directly next to one another, the Rubicon was higher, at least an inch but... (unscientific, measurement was compared to me standing next to it)

The Rubi has 33' tires compared to 31.5 on the sport. That would account for some of the height difference.

Hi. Everyone that purchased from Koons, did you have your own financing or did you go through them?

@JLWF Dealer Guy can you confirm or deny that the windshield tie down hook/strap should be included?

There was a spirited conversation in a thread a member started saying they were not with his new JL. Then the obvious opinions occurred, but I thought you might be able to settle it. Thanks

@JLWF Dealer Guy, question for you:

Does the Infotainment center have USB-A or USB-C?
