Unfortunately I’ll be out of town.

Thanks. I didn’t measure so I don’t know an exact net but from everything I’ve read Rock Krawler is pretty much right on the money for netting their advertised lift amount. I also like how they do the lift heights based off of 392 specs, so my lift is a true 2.5” over stock 392 height. Alot of the companies factor in the 1” advantage that the 392 already has over non 392 Rubicons which is kinda false advertising if you ask me. All I know is that with the lift and tires now I basically have to hop out of the Jeep, and I’m 6’1” with long legs haha

Sweet baby Jeepsus, I love me some 392. That’s a solid build you have going on.
RK either have R&D test mules of all the vehicles they build kits for, or they work with their dealer network to get the proper R&D on the right vehicle. Part of the reason I always use their stuff. I have the same kit but for my 2019 JLUR and it’s been perfect so far.

Nicely done. Looks just like mine, except mine uses MetalCloak to gain the tire clearance.

Make sure the upper end of your sway bar link does not contact the shock reservoir hose at full compression. Mine did, and I had to shorten the MetalCloak sway bar link by 1 1/2" and the hose needed a P-clamp to hold it tightly against the fender liner to gain clearance. MetalCloak uses the same length of sway bar link on the 2.5" lift I have as they do on all of their lifts, even the 4.5" and 5.5" lifts.

Those shock reservoirs are a little vulnerable to rocks where they are mounted, especially if you are trying to get over tall ledges, and can't make it, and have to back off of the ledge and drag the bumper. My OEM metal bumper skid plate is badly scraped right underneath the reservoir on both sides, but not bent. And that skid plate is only 1/4" away from the reservoir. I am planning on changing to a Cav Fab front bumper and may need to relocate the reservoir.

Again, nicely done.

it rides great, I’d say better than stock. Nice and planted on the road without the Jeep wander haha.

The h-pipe is probably the thing I was looking forward to the most. I’m still doing the gear break it so I haven’t gotten on the gas hard yet but so far I’d say I’m pretty happy with the MRT h-pipe. It sounds great on start up and has a nice idle. In off-road plus mode it should sound great accelerating which I’m looking forward to trying. I do wish the Jeep made a bit more noise just cruising around town though at like 30mph, It’s basically quite.

You order with 488s or had them installed?

I had the 4.88’s installed. My Jeep came with 3.73, XR package comes with 4.56 but wasn’t available for 23’s when I ordered my 392.
