Traxda leveling kit

I know you mentioned caster is still within spec, but have you noticed any change in driving dynamics?

Had it up to 70+ mph yet?

Literally can not tell a difference. I’ve had it on back roads and highways. Only small! difference is it wonders ever so slightly over big bumps. Well, more than factory I should say.

The 1.5/1 and 37s will give you the same look as a stock Ruby with 35s. Just more level. No? I am the opposite of you. I like a less stuffed look lol.

I think that might be the ticket for me. I like the factory look with 35s. I just want it with 37s, lol

1” rear , 2” front. Installed. Exactly what I was looking for. No rake and slight lift.
Only issue I ran into was reinstalling rear track bar. I had to use a ratchet strap to shift the axle over to realign bolt hole. Took a buddy and I 3hrs. First spacer lift install for both of us. No noticeable difference in ride quality.

Will get some pics up tomorrow

On their site, the 1.5"/1" is listed as a Rubicon lift whereas the 2"/1" is just a JL lift. I have a Sahara and hoping to confirm the 1.5"/1" will work for me. Can anyone confirm that? I tried to contact them through their site, but their submission form seems to be broken, at least for me.

Spacers will fit. Rubicon has slightly less rake than Sahara.

What’s throwing me off is the higher fenders on the Rubi. It almost looks level to me without any leveling from a kit - so makes me think a 2” lift all the way around is just fine for 37s - on a Rubicon.

I’m also thinking of waiting to see what a different front bumper and winch do to the front. Maybe put on the 37s + bumper + winch and get some measurements after things settle to get it dialed in perfectly.

Plenty of time for me to wait on the Jeep to come in, unfortunately

Wow, looks perfect!! Just the amount of lift I want with leveling. What size tires do you have on there?

I have a Sport model and I just purchased a set of 255/75/17 BFG MT's on Rubicon Recon wheels. Haven't installed them yet. I'm only going up from a 245/75/17 Michelin but I'd like to take the rake out. Do you think this lift would be too much for that size of a wheel/tire combo? Or would the 1.5/1" be about right?

Also, have you guys noticed a significant loss of mpg by leveling out the jeep? Thanks

Obviously the 255/75-17 is a stock size, and in reality they measure out the same as the 245/75-17 that you've got because the BFG KM runs small. So, you don't need any lift at all. I would suggest sticking with the 1.5" kit so that you can maintain as much ride quality as possible.
