Warn Crawler Front Bumper ?

[Gangplank]

is down to 3/4”.

The Mopar lift is now sitting 3” front / 3.75” rear. With the 35” tires.

Waiting until I get the Warn Elite rear & decided to go with the MP Concepts alum. front. Once I get those on I’ll see if I still need to swap the shorter springs in the rear.

I can live with a little rake but 3/4 is more than I want. 1/2” ok

Personally I wouldn't get shorter rear springs, I would (and actually have) put a 3/4" Daystar/Teraflex/Fishbone/etc... 3/4" spacer up front.

While normally I agree, I have a specific set up. Like most stock Jeeps the Mopar kit comes with specific spring
Part #s for the each corner - longer for passenger side because the gas tank.

Because I have a 3.6 eTorque motor my stock springs are the same left and right (due to the heavy battery on drivers side). When I installed the lift I bought extra springs so I could have matching length like my stock set up. So I have an extra set of rear springs. I put the tallest pair on (2 passenger side) so I have 2 drivers side I can try. They are only slightly shorter.

That all said I may follow your advice and just add a puck to the front depending on where I am after the bumpers go on and it settles a bit.

anyone know what the stock take is for a 4 dr Rubicon?

Well, that is a jeep for you….. Just a start. For a proper build and complete satisfaction, after the lift comes bigger tires, and with bigger tires should follow a regear. I suggest 4.56 with 35s and 4.88 with 37s. Then and only then will you have a Jeep that drives as good as it looks, which is one of those Jeep things that you have to experience to understand.

I’m in FL flatlandia at sea level and a 3.6 etorque w/ the 8 speed auto. I also Recalibrated the tires with JScan to actual measured size. It seems to be doing just fine on the reasonably light weight Nitto Recon Grappler tires that are 64 lbs.

Believe me, do yourself a favor and get it geared appropriately. You’ll thank me for the rest of your life and will never buy or plan a build again without making this a must. As said, it needs to be experienced to be appreciated. There’s nothing that brings that feelings of satisfaction to see your Jeep turn the big rubbers as easily as it did the stock little puny tires.

While I technically agree with @Steph1 it's not the end of the world if you don't. I'm on 38s with 4.10 gears and while I will be the first to admit I should be running 5.13s I'm not and I still crawl up every obstacle and have no lag daily driving. It boogies off the line but I am well aware it would boogie a lot better with 5.13s.
$2k is a chunk to choke up for gears which is why I haven't done it. But I agree it's the one thing most people overlook because they don't look shiny or badass... because you don't see them

Exactly, people overlook gears because of the price, but they have no problem spending same or more money on absolutely useless mods. But once you’ve taken a build seriously enough to do gears and experience the satisfaction it brings, you’ll never overlook them again. They sure bring a lot more satisfaction than windshield lightbars and pods.
