Lift is installed! I netted almost 3.5" from a 2.5" lift. I'm sure it will settle a little. I hope so, the drivers side is about 1/2" higher than the passenger side. My wheels are scheduled to deliver Tuesday. They are beadlocks so I need to get them put together on the 37's. Hopefully I can bolt them on next weekend.

Wow makes those tires look tiny. My 33s will look small, although I guess the rubi fenders makes them look even smaller.

Anyone have pics of the 3.5 with 35’s? I’ve got both on order and thinking the 35’s will look odd.

I should be bolting on the 37's today or tomorrow. Installing beadlocks sucks, btw.

Does anyone have a sport with 3.5 GameChanger and 35’s. I have a 2.5 rc spacer. I want a bit more lift when I do a full suspension. Curious of 2.5,3.5 compared to my spacer lift.

You'll probably be better off with the 2.5" kit. It'll net more than advertised, whereas your current spacer lift does not. That'll be the gain you've after. The 3.5" will make your 35's look anemic.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I was thinking since sport fenders are lower than rubicon. That it would not look off.

This guy’s install video shows the difference in the 2” spacer lift vs the 2.5” MetalCloak.
Thanks. I’ve seen it before but never caught what tire size he had or the difference. I’ll check again.

Here a pic of my MetalCloak 2.5” GameChanger, Rock Slide Engineering Step Sliders, and Fuel Vector 17x9 and 35” tires. Thanks to @rustyshakelford for the install.
