wouldn't that be a good reason just to do the 2 inch spacer lift and keep the stock ride ? this wouldn't

happen with the 2 inch spacer lift would it ?
It’s always going to misalign the axles but not enough to really notice.

That's what my buddy said he's had a shop in San Antonio for like 30 years he said you're not going to do any damage with a 2-inch spacer lift that's why the bigger lifts come with that kind of stuff too much spacer lift is not going to do anything wrong I'm just trying to decide if I want to do the spacer or do this guy Jack your 2.5 with shocks and springs for a hundred fifty more that happens is noticeable but if I change the fenders it will be open more and I think I should be okay

Tough decision. I like the ride so I just installed the RC kit. I run 37’s and have no real need for anymore lift. At some point I’ll go with some Fox shocks but I’m going to leave well enough alone. I wheel a lot and 37’s are plenty big enough. That’s why I moved from my JK to a JL. Only reason I installed a lift is for the tires. If I could have installed them stock I would have.

No difference in ride. Just taller. Still handles just as good. No spacers, factory wheels. Turned out the steering stops a couple turns and no rubbing either.

Factory wheels are a little narrow for 37's, but it's workable.

Very true back when I had my dually in 99 I had factory wheels on 37's. The factory wheel wasn't wide enough to pull the tire out all the way so the tire was bowed in it was okay but I need to be careful he said but it look damn good 8 inch lift with 37s on a dually Super Swamper SSR whales are cheap enough now you can find a good aftermarket wheel

Factory wheels on 37’s make for a great poor mans bead lock. Lol I’m not a fan of most aftermarket wheels and where I live I try to keep the tires under the flares as much as possible. That way the snow and crap doesn’t get packed into the door handles.

Any increase in spring heights throws the OEM geometry out of wack unless all the associated components are changed as well. Think about what is happening when the distance is increased between the frame and the differential. The track bars should also be changed because as I showed in the picture you have the front differential going out of alignment. When you leave the stock control arms in place the differentials are pulled out of its correct factory position. It’s simple trigonometry; one leg of the triangle lengthens the other two legs must also lengthen to keep the entire suspension at the the OEM or proper configuration.

I do like this one but what I'm paying have this installed and what I'm going to pay you to have the Mopar one installed it's only $900 more to have the Mopar so I'm going to go with the mop ar. that's like $16 more month I'll do the Mopar and the Mopar is getting more lift anyway this is only 2 on the Rubicon Express. the Mopar is getting close to 3 I test drove one today and it's really high off the ground with the Mopar

You guys do what you want with your $50k rigs. I’m not going to drive down the road at 70 mph with my suspension all balled up. Do it right or don’t do it at all. Where do you think the infamous death wobble came from?
