I believe it is those with the halos right? Were your originals the halogen? How are they working with the day time halo? I am also getting the switchback blinkers

Yeah I’m running the oculus bi led and the switchbacks. The switchbacks are definitely an improvement but I’ll be looking into actually getting the factory leds from quadratech (they sell them with the fenders) because they just aren’t the same. The headlights on the other hand have been amazing for me. The halos wirk really well too. Easy install as well.

Looks great i cant wait!! Do the switchbacks act as a DRL with the halos or do you actually have to set the blinker lights on?

You know.... I’m not sure I’ve only ever checked at night and they’re on then but I have a feeling they come on like the halogen ones only at night

ahhh thats a bummer...if you remember in the future and you check definitely let me know. Headlights look great tho. What lift are you getting? I may opt out of the 2.5 RC spacer lift due to caster concerns and just get 33s and maybe a 1” lift down the road

Not positive yet. It will probably be a summer project when I can afford it. I want to run 35s so depending on rubicon fenders I’ll probably run a super lift 2” or jks 3.5” Any thoughts?

tbh im the wrong guy to ask. me personally if i were getting a complete lift kit id get the mopar because i dont do any heavy trails - i do light stuff maybe 2-3x a month in the summer.

Like i said in the original post i was going to get the RC 2.5 spacer lift and run 35s but i think i may try to do 33s with no lift and maybe in the future do a smaller lift or leveling kit.

Right now im worried more about the aesthetic which is why i want the lights so bad

What size tires do you have now?

 

[caleb_m00re]

255 70R18 which is around 32 inches I think

any rub? do you think youd have an inch to spare if no rub?

during the summer i average 29mpg with my 2.0 so if i ditch the lift and big tires and can fit 33s i guess id be able to keep majority of my mileage

 

[caleb_m00re]

no rubbing. As for 33s I’d say possibly. Don’t really have a good way to confirm but it definitely isn’t a problem with the rubi fenders if you get those

Im torn between going thru with the RC kit or not. Some people dont have steering issues while others do

don't cheap out. This doesn't mean you need to drop $5K on a lift. Make sure you properly budget for the parts required to ensure your Jeep is safe and driveable.

Limeade gave good advice that absolutely can not be underscored enough!

Spend once and get it right the first time. If to spend it right the first time means you have to hold off to save up for it, do just that.

As others have discovered, it’s far more expensive to spend less and then dump money into fixing a new issue when that issue could have been avoided from the get go with a more complete system.

Rubicon suspension and 33s. Or rubi suspension, 1 inch spacers and 35s. Pick whatever shocks you like.
