Currently at 2" lift on my 2 door JLR. With running 37's and possibly 38's in the future. I'm looking for the best option to gain off road capability with out being a skyscraper. But I also feel 3.5" isn't enough for some big rocks and incline break overs. Please post pics with your info. Thank you.

Thanks! It is. It's an EEzi-Awn and the rack is a k9 made by the same company.

Wow that looks awesome. Great build. If you could let me know what you ran for driveshafts? and what's the angle of your sway bar up front?

Thanks, Alex.

So, I went out and took some photos for you. I'm running the MC JL Wrangler | JT Gladiator Front Sway Bar Quick Disconnect because it came in the box with the JL Wrangler 4.5" Game-Changer Suspension. The measurement you asked about is 29°. Now, smaller disconnects will get you back to something closer to zero if you're one of those guys who thinks this needs to be level.

I'm also including what I consider the important measurements because these have everything to do with how smoothly my vehicle rides after the lift - and how well it steers and tracks down the road. That is the angle of the drag link and how far off its measurement is from the tie rod - which should be level. (Notice how the RUSTY'S ALUMINUM HD STEERING SYSTEM is the size of a baseball bat?) And I included a pic of the track bar.

So, at 10 ° everything is looking pretty good. Not too much height but enough for me to stuff 44s under it when these go bald!!


If you're doing the lift yourself we could always have a wrench'n party. I'll throw my name in that hat.

Awesome info. Great pics. Really appreciate all the response. One last question. Are you running the stock rear and Adam's front? Or both are Adam's?

That's a great question because I thought I could get away with a stocker in the rear. For a while, anyway. But that bent pile IS the rear! LOL! I wasn't even done with the build but I really wanted to go to the beach. So I went. That is what it looked like when I got back.

So, I replaced BOTH drive shafts - front and rear.

I keep coming back to your setup when planning out my build.

One of my thoughts is to use 39x13.5x17 KO2’s with 3.5” MC Game Changer but I really wanted to stay with a 2.5” lift. You’re using a 4.5 MC with 40’s and everything looks proportional. I’m really concerned about 2.5 with 39’s. I think the look will be great, just don’t know how it’ll clear.
