Yes, fits just fine, no issuesHave been reading this older thread, but not all of it. Looking at putting the 2020 Rubicon suspension on a 2018 JL sport with 2020 Gladiator Rubicon wheels and tires. Will the Mopar lift LCA’s fit with no issues?
Thank you! Already ordered.Yes, fits just fine, no issues
Couple additional things to consider before you start.Ok serious question, as I’m about to do this swap today.
do I need to go rent some ramps from Walmart or can I do without? I’m of the lean, athletic build variety, so no giant beer belly to worry about getting stuck on a crossmember. I also have a breaker bar.
no jack stands needed, right?
Here's my install post. I would recommend ramps, and w/ the ramps it seemed to load the suspension just right, I didn't need to do any moving of the axles or other parts, the new LCAs just slid right in.Ok serious question, as I’m about to do this swap today.

I didn't use ramps so probably why I needed something else to move the axle forward. The ramps also helped you with the additional room you needed for getting the bolts torqued.Here's my install post.

I’ve been reading over this a few times before I begin. It was also suggest elsewhere to loosen and tighten at ride height - so before pulling up the ramps? Or just back down to the ground when tightening? Thanks!Here's my install post.

You just want to be sure to tighten to spec with the suspension loaded, I just torqued them down on the ramps. Just don't want to have the Jeep suspension decompressed when torquing down.I’ve been reading over this a few times before I begin.

I did mine on flat ground with the stock 32" tires, and it was really damn difficult to get enough leverage with the torque wrench. I actually used the floor jack on the end of the torque wrench at one point to finish torquing, and that did the job quite well.Ok serious question, as I’m about to do this swap today.
