Do you happen to know how much actual lift the dynatrac kit ended up giving you over stock?

Well, I did not actually measure the height change. In my opinion the lift is a real 2 inch
lift. I added the .50 Teraflex spacer to compensate for the bumper and winch I put on. In hindsight a .75 spacer would have been spot on.

Thanks. I have an email out to dynatrac to see if they have a number on how much lift to expect on a 2 door. We'll see what they say.

This is stock...(day I picked her up from the dealer)

Shortly after, I installed the Dynamax Turbo exhaust, painted the brake calipers, Mopar All-Weather Floor Mats and installed a carbon fiber tape door sill guard.

This is my favorite photo of my Jeep...

Added a little mud for special effects...

and a little more mud...just for the hell of it...This was the first time taking her off-road...I mean REALLY off road.

Airing up after more mud...

I don't recommend this modification...(damn tree jumped out behind me...I couldn't stop...)

And a little more mud...after installing the ACE Engineering Rock Sliders...

Before installing my ACE Rock Sliders, I placed some mesh underneath them and painted with truck bed liner.

Installed on the Jeep.

My latest modification is some tinting and mudflaps. I don't have photos yet as I am still tweaking the mudflaps to get them where I want them. I will post photos when I get them exactly how I want them. As a side note, I tested them out today in our wintry slush from last night and I am very pleased with how they performed (I think the Jeep is actually cleaner than before the mudflaps!!).

Actually the quality was very good, especially considering the low price point. The powder coating looks good, is of a good uniform thickness. no fish eyes or orange peel anywhere. No edge coverage issues or adhesion problems. From a fabrication standpoint, the welds look nice, have good penetration, and the mounting brackets were accurately located--made mounting pretty easy. The slots for the winch mounts mated up fine, as well, no issues mounting the winch.

Those ACE sliders look pretty sweet. I'm actually debating on getting some Ace steel doors. I've been asking around on the forum what people think of them in look and quality.
What do you guys think?

Is you suspension from a 2 or 4 door? How does it ride?

Its from a 4door, i got 1.75” front and 2” rear
With the shocks, mopar LCA and longer swaybar links

It’s firmer forsure, but my jeep is nice and light and i plan to keep it that way.

City driving is good, but ya you notice the bumps a little more.

Highway driving was honestly improved, i drove it stock with the 34” duratracs and it was almost to soft with stock suspension, you’d hit a bump and the jeep would bounce all over the place, with the new stuff it drives better, straighter and the bumps are less jarring and jeep keeps moving smoothly
