Motoristx's Diesel Jeep White JLUR story with pictures.

Motoristx · Oct 3, 2020

I just Installed different springs in the rear. I've been running 3.5 inch Rock Krawler spring front and rear, but over time, the rear has settled to 1/2 lower than the front. This is measured by points on the frame since the fenders are way different. It could have been like this from day 1. Its only speculation, maybe since the front are EcoDiesel specific and the rear springs are regular JLU springs? This is compounded when I'm on a trip, and have all kinds of stuff loaded up In the back and it ends up even lower.

I ended up going with Rock Krawler 4.5 inch springs. I'm not 1/2 higher in the rear, as compared to the front. I can't wait to load it up, and see where it ends up. Visually, is a very slight difference.

The first time I saw my Jeep was when it was delivered to the delivered. My sales lady FaceTimed me so that we could see it for the first time together, these are the pictures she took.

That is beautiful Jeep..

I have question about the track bars on the JL Diesel. Did you run any kinda rear trackbar relocation kit?

Thanks, Close to 20k miles on it already. Driving it every day.

No relocation on the rear axle. Just the custom trackbar. When I installed it, Rock Krawler was is the process of making a relocation kit for the diesel. It’s different because of the breather tube, turns out it’s in the way of the regular trackbar mount relocation kit.

Added the Rock Slide Engineering Step Slider Set For Jeep Wrangler JL 4DR. Also have the Skid plates and added the lights. All installed by Jeep Slop Shop in Kemah, Tx.

This is something I've wanted to do for a while. I have degenerative disks in my back now, and the 38's combined with the 3.5/4.5 lift has become a bit too far to hop out without a little pain at times. Also, the kids had a hard time getting in and out. All I needed was to get in trouble for "K" climbing in and getting her dress dirty!

So as a comparison, our 2018 Yukon has the auto steps on it from the factory. The sound of them dropping and lifting can be a little disheartening at first, but the noise level is very similar. The Rock Slide Engineering steps have a slight more of a metallic thud then the factory on the Yukon. With that being said the Yukon steps do have a LOT of plastic on them. Now that I've had them for 1500 miles or so, I'm a lot more used to the sound they make.
