Sold my Rubicon wheels and 35” Nittos today. Installed the Quadratec light bar last night.

The 2 doors have reverse rake (the rear sits lower than the front) the Teraflex spacers correct this.
My buddy noted the 2 doors are supposed to have a reverse rake as well, but on mine the front is slightly lower (possibly due to the fact the factory didn't install one of the coil isolators :^). The description for the Teraflex 2 Door 1.5" spacer kit reads as follows:
"The TeraFlex JL 2-Door 1.5” Performance Spacer Lift Kit corrects the factory nose-down rake..."

Based on that description, I was hoping/expecting the front spacers to be slightly taller than the rears- not the opposite. That's what bummed me out about the kit.. Hopefully, the description will be corrected and coil isolator will create the rake Teraflex designed their kit to correct.

My friend says he's worked on 100s of Jeeps (he owns an aftermarket parts business) and has never seen one with a missing coil isolator.

Really like that interior-mount bar! Do you get any glare kicking back off the windshield with the lights on?

Got up on ramps today, added a 1-1/2” to ramp so make sure I’m fully drooped. Wanted to check clearance of track bar to sector shaft brace. Rock krawler, metal cloak, synergy, steer smart, all work for sure. Seen with my own eyes. I had the rough country TB left from when I had my Mopar lift on, so I put it in to try it. Was curious because the hump over diff is more pronounced. But as you can see it clears, it’s actually 3/4” clearance, bad camera angle.........

What height are those ramps? I wouldn't mind building a set.

The front one is 24” but the back ramp has to be just under the height of your side step or rock slider so you can put it in front of the rear tire. Mine is 21”. Or you can drive up on a couple of 2x4s and then you can put a taller ramp under there but that got to be more trouble than it was worth. They come in handy for checking stuff out.

I'd like to make a hydraulic one somehow. Might need to bring in my neighbor's son who is an engineer.

Yeah.... that’d be sweet, but this was free ninety free, made from scrap left over from a deck I built for somebody. I use 4 lo and lockers on so you can crawl up on them nice and slow. I had the wife drive on them for me so I can check stuff out, she use to much skinny pedal and about drove off of it.....:facepalm:..... you can see the ramp raise up.....

They’re Rigid brand from the big orange box store, they have different depths and and you can stack and lock them together. Here’s what they look like without the stickers.....it cost hundreds of dollars for the decorative stickers......:facepalm:.........:)

I bought a few of these in different sizes, including the open crate. They are really nice and not too expensive.

How was the ride quality with the Rubicon springs and 2" spacer compared to stock? Has the Teraflex 2.5" coils improved the ride quality quite a bit? I want to lift mine slightly but not sure if I want to go with spacers or springs.
It is riding good. Not that I thought it was bad. But I got the springs for hundred bucks. Got it out on the trail today. Most of the benefits seem to be in that first 1-2" of travel which is what you use on road.

I like that it fixed the factory rake with the rear being a little higher. Also in measuring before beforehand I found drivers side was a little higher. Now it's flat front to rear and side to side.
