It looks great and am glad to see improvement in highway driving. A stupid question perhaps: can this be changed while the Jeep is on the ground and not lifted? I am new to automotive and I like to do the more simpler stuff myself. Thanks in advance.
Yes it is a very easy install. I did mine on the ground(I have access to a lift, but decided it wasnt worth the time to use it for this.)

Are the lifting points for the lift pretty obvious? Did you use the lower control arm mounts?

In the front I use the frame, rear I typically use the lower control arm mounts. With my Jeep and the long arm kit any further forward than those rear mounts and the weight isn't evenly distributed and it feels unsafe.

Is there plenty of room to get the control arms out and replaced when the pads are on the mounts?

Jeep should be here middle of dec and will backing it off the trailers onto the lift!

I usually replace the rear lower arms on the ground one at a time.

Congrats on the new sharp looking SS. I found little information on ATS installation:

Is it just like the IPS which unbolt the two bolts held the factory SS and replace? Do you need to use new brackets like the Falcon ones?

Do you have alignment issues, some says Fox damper give them pull to the right.

Being that this is a through shaft design there is equal force on each side and should cause no pulling. Typically only gas pressurized stabilizers cause a pull to one side or the other since there is a constant pressure on the stabilizer.

This does not bolt in place like the traditional stabilizer. It includes a bracket to replace the stock steering stabilizer mount on the axle side closest to the differential(3 bolts). The side closest to the steering knuckle bolts on like the factory unit.

Is this only for a Rubicon or will it fit on all JL Jeeps ?
Should fit all JL's. I didn't notice any difference in the way my wife's Sport mounts compared to my Rubicon.

Zero pull. Matter of fact it tracks flawlessly now with the 37’s... I did put it on the rack and checked alignment simply because of the install and I wanted to retorque everything and all was good. No adjustments needed
