Here also is a good video on the components of steering geometry when lifting. Scroll down to the 12 minute video.

Thank you for the response. I have a very basic understanding of these parts (mainly just that they exist) but understanding what they all do or relate to each other is a lot to figure out.

Thanks again.

Nice Jeep! I'm partial to red. What's the scoop on the license plate bracket? I might end up doing that. Got a link or did I miss it in your post?

great job. really a nice build. love those kind of clean build. so you put the 35 on the OEM rims? no issues? and what about the width? still inside de fenders or is not is it a big gap ?

No issues with the wider tire on the rims. My tire guy thinks its a great fit and will hold in snug when lowering the PSI.

Bob: Please tell us more about this cross member product on the Gobi rack, pointed to with arrows in the picture that follows of your rig. Thanks.

The gobi rack comes with two cross members - right now I have the Yakima Racks ski rack on those cross members. Thats what you see in the picture. When summer comes it will probably be the yakima canoe holder thats on most of the time.

With a Rubi and the lift, you should definitely look into front lower control arms and front track bar to fix steering geometry before you have issues.

Steer smarts track bar was just delivered and going on tomorrow! I will have to look into the front lower control arms! Thanks!

It is the Tuffy Flip up bracket. I like it except occ it it gets in way when winching. I might try one that mounts under but then I don't know if it will just get ripped off???

Do you get any whistling with the gobi rack and the 50" light bar?

I was from 40-55 mph. Then I put some truck door stripping on the back of the light bar and it’s 100% gone.

None from the Gobi Rack. It was just the light bar. The Gobi Rack adds a little wind noise but I don’t notice it anymore.

here you go

That is a good looking build. I like the rear bumper, but can’t find much info about it yet on the web. Are the receiver and electrical connections part of the existing tow package or part of the bumper? I have the tow package, so just wondering if they work together.

It looks like you have good clearance under the spare. I assume the spare tire is using the standard mounts (no relocator)?

Thanks.

It's all part of the tow package. Fits right in with the receiver no prob. Right now there is no tire relocation or anything. That is all stock. I do however have Warn's tire carrier coming as I now have 35" tires. The tire carrier and bumper can hold up to 37's. I will post pictures once that is here.

Great looking build. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any problems with the 35 spare mounted to the tailgate without adding any extra support? Any noise or bending of the tailgate? Thanks! About to go 35s myself.

I have the stock 33 on the tailgate waiting for the Warn bumper tire carrier. I will put the 35 on once the tire carrier arrives.
Compare the weight of the tire and the stock tire - tires really range.
