Completely stock Rubicon 2 dr and feel like its all over the road. Just a Jeep thing? Could not imagine what it would feel like with the 392?

Hi,

Try the 2" lower control arms, or LCA's as helps with handling, best mod I did on mine, drives like a totally different vehicle. Also running at 32 psi, on 35 12.50's.

Jim

PSI on mine is probably too high as well. Around 40psi as received by dealer.
Was planning on going 35" without lift. Which control arms are you recommending? To increase castor or?

It was 41 when I got it. I brought it down to 37. Should I go lower?

yes, 35psi all around for me is the sweet spot

Have any of you with the extreme recon package found it’s hard to not be all over the road?

I know you're not the only one but mine tracked really well driving it home from ID to WA. I lowered tire pressure from low 40's to mid 30's before I left the dealer. I would have someone check the caster and ensure everything is tight underneath. The Mopar extended LCA's would certainly help your situation, as others have indicated.

You guys with Nov. orders being delivered give me hope that mine will be coming in July. Still no movement though on my Dec 21 order.

This jeep is really impressive. You wont be disappointed. It seems like they are making fast progress on the Jan orders so hopefully you will get it in time for your trip.

Dec 7th order just arrived at dealer today. Can’t wait to go get it this week! Suddenly I’ve (somewhat) forgotten about the 6 months of agony.

 

[GatorWrangler]

XR with 3.6L etorque and 8spd Auto (noting this for future readers when 2.0T XRs start getting delivered in more quantities).....
Does anyone else notice that above some MPH on flat highway (say 75mph to 80mph and up) that it kicks from 8th gear down to 7th and stays there vs. going to 8th? (running at 3000 or so RPM instead of low 2000s)

 

[Bokonon_FL]

Does this mean that I got built and out of JB in 3 days? Seems fast!
