Awesome climb! All stock?

So love driving this Jeep. It's taken us to many beautiful places.

How your photographer is able to keep their balance, or not slide down that hill is amazing.

100% poser shot, but we'll call this "pre-op". I always like to find out stock capabilities before I start lifting/upgrading. (Did the same with my TJ)


I've already pulled the trigger on 3.5" lift and 37s...looking forward to the result!

So, what were they?

Apparently, according to the trail I was on, any ruts that were dug out with Jeeps on 35s+ caused me to drag ass all over. Playing on the rocks in Vermont was a challenge. Lockers and the 4:1 TC was wonderful, but there was too much dragging....no matter what line was chosen.

So about an inch, maybe two under the differentials and another 3.5" under the "body". Cool.

Sort of... at that point it had Mopar lower control arms, and the winch had dropped the front about an inch from original height. Plus the Maximus-3 tow loops, hitch, & front differential skid technically reduced clearance.

Since then I've gained about 1/2" in the front with some JLUR front springs. Travel might also be slightly better than stock now that I have 392 shocks.

the beauty of the short wheelbase.

Dragging is fine as long as you have protection underneath. Where are you dragging with the 2 door?.

Throw some 35s and a small lift and you'll be golden with the short wheelbase if you dont want to drag anymore. I do drag on every wheeling trip I go. There have been a few times I've gotten stuck. An extra inch would help but I am just not sure if it is worth it, since I always manage anyway.

I rather keep a lower center of gravity and drag here and there. But I will upgrade tires next year, going to skinny 34s which would give me half an inch of extra clearance. Then I might add a 1inch spacers, but I still cant decide. I already have the shocks for a lift installed so I might end up throwing better springs.

It's been awhile since I've shared these charts.

A JLUR needs a 2" lift & 37s to have the same breakover as a JLR with 1" lift on 35s.

An extra inch is always worth it
