Super excited when the dealership called today and said You’re Jeep is ready for pickup! Mopar lift installed! I have the version ending in AC installed with the black spring isolators. There is some spring bow. We will see how it lasts. I’m probably not going to do any wheeling anytime soon. It rides nice. Yes the axles are shifted. Perhaps down the road I’ll get an adjustable front track bar and a rear relocation bracket. But for now, just happy to have a lifted Jeep!

Looks great dude!! If the bowed springs end up bothering you, or you have trouble with them, just get some rock krawler spring isolators for less than 30.00. They will straighten them up considerably. Here’s my Mopar spring on rk perch.....:)

I looked at my Jeep from the sidewalk with the sun rider top pulled back by my wife after she came back from the gym. We’re in the city, so jumping in and taking a spin means a good parking spot is lost and will never be found again. She looked good though. ( yes I mean both my wife and the ride).
Oh hey man. I know what you mean. I’m in port Richmond. ✌

Installed the Cav Fab Steering Kit (tie rod / Drag link) Aluminum rods with steer smarts ends

Then did a homebrew alignment using some toe plates i had as well as some my previous wheels.

Also did a walkaround of my Crawler concept sliders to see how well they did through 2 trips on the rubicon

Hey dude, does this eliminate the need for steering stabilizer, or you just don’t have it back on yet? I see the long stud still there for it. Rigs looking great by the way.....:like:

Before the full alignment my wife did hit a massive pothole and she did get some steering shimmy. I aligned it and had her drive it again and no issues this time around. I have about 1/32-1/16 toe in. After the test drive with the alignment we put the stock steering stabilizer back on. The steering feel is still light compared to how the falcon's were.

Interesting, this concept is new to me. What’s the advantage? I understand the SS ends, beefy stuff. For the Cav Fab, is it for weight?
