I finally after a month of having the parts had the time to install my lift. Love the way it turned out, my 9 yr old has to belly up on the floorboard though!
Can't really tell inside profile, 2" w/ 35's looks fender gap looks stock.

Your Jeep looks great. However, looking at these springs it appears your lower control arms need adjusted out for more caster/alignment. Keep an eye on pinion angles after you push the axles out as well.
Thanks for the feedback, while I made sure the measurements were what was recommended from Metalcloak I still need to take it into a local shop for an alignment. Oh and I still need to replace the front driveshaft and flipped the trackbar around in the rear (done last night)

Dropped her off today at the dealer for a free oil change and to have them check an overheating issue. I had done the same last week at another dealer and the first words out of his mouth were "oh well with those tires...." (37s). I left that dealer. :)

This one never blinked, insisted I leave it for a full check and hooked me up with a rental JLUSport.

While I was there, a fully LineX'd JKU pulled in for service. I asked him if he had a before and after weight and he said no, but that he thinks it is around 400lbs+. That's whack. Said he could feel it breaking and cornering and I just sat there with a WTF polite smile on my face.

I spent 20 minutes installing a new upper dash pad. The pad that comes with the leather seating has a double row of red stitching. I have cloth seats, but they have the same red stitching, so I looked the part up on Tasca (Upper Dash Pad) and ordered it.

When you supply your VIN, Tasca will tell you that part was not made for your Jeep, but it is a direct fit. You just pop the old one out (there is one phillips head screw in the center, the rest is just clips), and pop the new one in. You do have to remove the radio bezel to get to the screw, but all in all it takes at most 20 minutes.

I know it's a small change, but I see it every time I drive and I like it. The wife- who usually scratches her head at the lights, tires, etc., even commented "that looks a lot sharper."

I believe the armrests with the red stitching are also a direct fit replacement, but haven't tried ordering them yet- they will probably go on my Christmas list!

I installed a smart rearview mirror that acts as a front and rear dash cam. It's nice not seeing my headrests in the rear view mirror whenever I look back!
