Hey @Moto_21 , can you post a straight up side shot so we can see the stance. Like maybe the one you're using as your avatar? Thanks,

Dayumm, might make my 35’s look too small
Right?

I know, right? I think max lift on a JLUR running 35s is 2 inches. For Sahara/Sport, 2.5in could still work. The Rubicon's higher fenders make 35s look small with anything 2.5in or greater because of the increased fender gap, again, in my opinion.

I'm waffling myself even now between 37s and 38s. In some pics I've seen, even 37s on a JLUR can look small on 3.5in lift, so a 2.5 is perfect for 37s and maybe a little too much for 35s.

Whats the front measure out to anyways? Im thinking about switching springs, the rear on yours measures a full inch and a 1/4 higher than mine with rk springs and 35s.
Sorry it took a while. I saw you got some other measurement, but for the record I'm sitting at 41 1/2 in the front with the additional 3/4" spacers to make for the bumper and winch and 41 3/4 in the rear on 35"s, no spare, plastic rear bumper.

Can those of yous who have the 2.5" installed see if there is any height difference between the driver and passenger sides? Ive seen some comments in the 3.5' thread.

I saw that too and am curious about it. I will be checking mine but I'm 2000 miles away from my Jeep until after new years.

I don't remember the exact numbers but stock to the bottom of the fender was around 39". Now with the 315/70/17 tires it's around 43" to the bottom of the fender

For those that did install. How did you torque down rear upper control arm axle side bolt? I waited till it was back on ground and there is hardly any room in there between bumpstops. Just ended up wrench it down as much as I could, but not sure on what I got it torqued too. Any recommendations?
