What lift kit did you use? I have a Sport and want 35s, but don't want to lift too much. Yours looks about right! :like:
Rubicon 2" express kit.

Would you mind taking pictures of your hoist/straps as well as the storage cart for the hardtop. Thanks
Sorry was away for a bit. This is the cart and hoist. And I just used 12 foot ratching straps.

How is the ride compared to stock, and how much do the tires stick out from the flares? I’d like to have us much coverage as possible.

Can you take a picture of the driver side spring and bump stop and the passenger side as well that be awesome. I just put on the new isolator for the driver side it still seems like I have a little bit of a bow more than usual, I got this 2 inch more power lift back in February. Understand Mopar made some adjustments and I’m just wondering if the new Mopar 2 inch lift has better springs.

I’m running 315/70/17 as well and then a perfect fit. I’ve been wheeling about six times so far and I have no chips.

Sure, I'll take some pix tomorrow. If I remember correctly, my springs still have a little bit of a bow...........I believe the passenger side had more. But there are no rubbing issues like they had when the kits were first released.

The ride is nice but it could be improved. It's not as "tight/sturdy" as the OEM suspension. I will be purchasing an adjustable front track bar as soon as Steer Smarts releases one for the JL. My tires stick out past the fenders because I have spacers installed. Without them they would be tucked under the fenders since I still have the factory wheels.

OK that would be great. The air pressure in your new tires makes a big difference on how it rides. If you’re running if you’re running 35/36 lbs you may have a little rule kind of back-and-forth. If you run 3839 it will run with Les rolling back-and-forth. That’s when I found out with the Keio 235s but I know which tire is different. I’m really impressed on how mine rides with the Mopar 2” lift. I believe you just had yours done so you have to give it at least 800 miles so everything settles in, Take care

Just an FYI, i’ve been out actually wheeling about six times and have had no problems whatsoever.
