SkyJacker + Nitto

[Swanny297]

Well SkyJacer finished my lift last week, it’s the 2.5” Sport lift with black max shocks and adjustable track bar, I paired it with Rubicon take offs and 285/75/17 Ridge Grapplers. Very pleased with ride and clearance. Only issue is spare does rub on brake light and bumper so I will need to put a relocation bracket on, we had to use washers as spacers to get it on. If anyone has any questions let me know.

Looks good, like the color.

So question, just wondering if it’s my eyes that are playing a trick on me or not with your picture. Is the rear axle centered in the wheel well or is it closer to the front of the rear flare (that sounds weird to say).

Just the angle of the picture

Thanks for posting the pictures! It looks great. I've got the 2.5" Skyjacker kit with M95 shocks on the way and hope to have it installed in a couple more weeks. I'm also putting on the EVO front control arm drop brackets.

How did you get the adjustable track bar, is it Skyjacker's? I thought that only came with the 3-4" lift?

Great to see a preview of what mine is going to look like. Except mines white and I've got MT Sidebiter rims

Edit: Sorry, just re-read the post. Skyjacker did the lift so of course they have the track bar.

Yeah it is a skyjacker track bar - doesn’t come with the 2.5 to be honest I don’t think it is needed I didn’t have to adjust anything from side to side. Not sure what tires you are going with but anything 34” or bigger will require a relocation bracket.

Accidentally edited out part of my reply, I've got the same tires. Obligatory poser picture attached. With the -12 offset of these rims the spare tire fits just fine.

Is there a reason you picked the black shocks over the M95 shocks they offer?

I have run the black max shocks on prior lifts and was happy with them, I hear good things about either one but haven’t had any issues with the black max.

I have a 35 mounted on the spare mount and it clears fine.

Do you have a sport? Steel bumper? Weird how some fit my tire is close to 33 3/4” and it rubbed the cut out of the bumper to where I couldn’t close the tailgate...

Ah that must be it. Mines a Rubicon with steel bumper.

Nothing wrong with letting it rest on the bumper. More support.

It was more than just resting on my bumper it wouldnt allow the tailgate to shut.
