What did you do to your 2dr today?

[SH556JL]

why?

The Icon lift netted way more then 2.5” of lift on my 2 door.

Looks good,

What's the back spacing on your wheel please? Or a link to your wheel would be great.

Thank you

Icon shoud have included them in the kit if needed. That is a huge hidden expense IMO.

Most lift kits vendors don’t provide, some may offer. But most suggest after a certain point.

Also the Icon kit is designed for a 4 door.

Put RC adjustable LCAs and that updated Mopar track bar in today, thanks @roaniecowpony . Set my LCAs to 24.5" looks like I'm about 7 degrees caster, love the drive again!!! Thanks @Roky for the RC LCA recommendation, seem to be a solid upgrade, and much more substantial vs/ the OEM sets.

I have weld-on LCA skids, so that made removing one of my LCAs a total bitch, only bad part about the install

This evening’s small project…
Added the Evo exhaust loop skid plate to the oil pan and transmission skid plate.

As promised, this week was winch week! This was a much smoother install than the bumper last weekend, ready for the trails at jeep blessing tomorrow!

Looks great! What tires are you running there?

Installed some Rubi takeoff springs and some wheels and tires!

The stock 32" bfg km2's that came with it.

Didn't think it was interesting enough to take any pictures, but installed a set of Terra Acoustics front speakers, a Rightcar silicone license plate holder and a set of their black hex screws (their grey holder matches my Sting-Gray perfectly).

Exciting stuff, right?

Always worth posting random 2 door owner images, the forum is drowning in a constant deluge of 4door pics…

I put amber fogs in today, big deal, but here’s a pic anyways

17x7.5 +44 offset are the oem specs.

True, but a photo of my speakers would technically look identical to a 4-door

Oh, come on, share some pictures. I'd like to see them.

Took some (very) crappy phone pics before work, but here's my new Terra Acoustics speakers and the grey Rightcar silicone license plate holder (and the Diode Dynamics HitchMount brake/reverse light I installed a week or two ago). Can't really see either product too well and I think my finger was covering the flash for the interior, but hey.. at least it's a 2-door!

(EDIT: added close-up to show the Rightcar black hex screws )

17x7.5 +44 offset are the oem specs.

I run a 10" wide tire; my factory wheel is 17x7.5 - 6 3/4" BS. At full turn there is about 1" clearance between the tire and the sway bar. I've read some people with my factory wheel installed a 33x11.2" wide tire, at full turn had a very slight rub on the sway bar.

I'm amazed he got no inside rubbing against the sway bar with a factory wheel and a 12.4" wide tire (315 70r 17) and no poke! I've never heard of anyone being able to pull this off, what am I missing?

I'm not real familiar with offset. Any idea what the back spacing is on that OEM wheel?

Here's a good offset/backspacing chart, the 17x7.5 +44 has a 6" backspace.

As far as not contacting the sway bar (or LCA) can be done by adding washers to the steering stops, I haven't done it so can't confirm, but it's been done frequently here, they may be adjustable, but again, can't confirm that.

Yep, that's what they did in the video, washers to the steering stop.

I really and truly wish there were more wheel options in those dimensions. 17x7.5 +44/6" backspace, that's the magic number wheel for me. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people in that very small window, who doesn't want any tire poke. I had tire poke on my TJ, it looked very cool, BA, all that good stuff but I can't have stones pinging off the sides of my new jeep for 7 miles of dirt road to the trail head, it'll drive me nuts!

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
