Rubicon 35" tire package

[GreenWilly]

Has anybody received their 2dr with the 35" tire package yet. I have ordered an Anvil Rubicon with the tire package and it has been sitting in "D" status for a month. The anticipation is killing me.

They are supposed to start building 2-doors with the 35" tire package mid March, my Ruby X 2-door W/35" tire package is scheduled to be build this Friday, March 22.

Fingers crossed it starts soon. We have a trip planned in June and there are several items I need to address before the trip. My dealer was showing it in production the end of Feb with a ship date of March 19th. No such luck.

2 door with XR package is a sweet spot for sure! ?

My plan is 37's with a 2.5" lift on coilovers or ORI's to keep a LCG and stretched 7-10". The XR package will give me something to work with until I can build out axles. Cannot wait to get started.

I wonder where your dealer got the February production dates? Even when Jeep first made the announcement of 35's for 2-door JL's they stated in the press release that production would start sometime in March...

I hope I will be happy with 35's...I have 37x12.50R17 KO2 D's now mounted on Mopar 8.5x17 wheels w/12mm offset under a 'custom' 2.5" lift and really like it but...It took a long time and lots of $$$ parts to make it drive and handle close to what it did with 35's...

No clue. I was shocked when they told me.

Suspension seems to be a never ending saga. Anymore I just focus on a suspension that works for the intended use and suck up the consequence. It's funny that people think an off the shelf system should do it all.

To whomever gets a factory 2-Door with the 35" tire package: You will become an instant hero to this forum if you crawl under it and take a picture of the part numbers of each of the four springs. Some of us are wondering if they are using the same part numbers as the existing 4-Door 35" ones, or did they spec a new spring for the 2-Door? The world wonders...

My bet is they at least have different front springs.

They probably came up with new parts. But I can tell you that the stiffer 4 door springs on my 2 door Rubicon lifted it 1.5" and was ideal for 35's...though I stayed on 33's until I traded it.

I don't think mine will be on the xr springs long. Although I may hack the factory bump stops off to get more up travel. Where we are going we will not need no stinking fenders.

With the same options, 2-doors have stiffer front springs.

My '24 Rubi X 2-door was supposed to enter production today but has now been pushed back to D status...I half expected this after the email I received from Jeep Cares telling me they have (at least temporarily) stopped offering the 2-door with the 35" tire package due to 'capacity'...
