Anyone else running this lift? More photos? Anyone else have measurements on front and rear lift? What’s ride quality like compared to stock?

I am putting the 1.5/1 rubicon lift on this week. I will measure before and after. I’m running 35s so I’m really hoping it is 1.5/1

Edit: lift install pushed back to Tuesday as I am getting rims painted gloss Black Thursday (takes 2 days).

Awesome - can’t wait to see your photos and see your measurement results. Can you remind me your trim? I can’t remember and I’m on mobile can’t see signatures (if it’s in there).

Edit - scratch that, I see you’re on a Rubi. Bummer for me, I was hoping it’d be a Sahara.

Here are my measurements as of now. Stock suspension with stock wheels and 35 inch Khumo MTKL71s

Front ground to fender - 40.75 inches
Front tire to fender - 8 inches
Rear ground to fender - 40.25 inches
Rear tire to fender - 7.50 inches

Looks like I have 1/2 inch of rake so the 1.5/1 should be perfect.

Wheels are getting painted satin black Thursday and lift goes on Tuesday. I’ll update with measurements and pics when finished.

Anyone have any news on the SJ 1.5”? Would love to see more reviews and pictures. Especially actual lift numbers/measurements of before and after... bonus points for Saharas!

For those waiting for a follow up, I decided not to go with SJ because there was no guarantee on the spring lift height given the various springs on the JLUR. I decided to go with a spacer lift and I am awaiting the Traxda 1.5/1. This will insure I know exactly how much height I will get.

I just installed the 2.5 skyjacker with m95 shocks on my jl im running 285/70r17 ko2s .. i was planning on going for a bigger tire but I’m really liking how it looks so I think I’ll keep mine on those tires for now

I'm ready to pull the trigger on these. I currently have Rubicon suspension + 0.5" spacer lift.
You guys do realize there are 2 versions of these springs right? One is for Rubicon the other is for non Rubicon.
If you have a sport and buys the Rubicon 1.5" springs you will definitely get more lift than 1.5"
