392 on 37” KO2s
Yes I have flexed it to stops. It did touch the rear just a slight bit, but a heat gun fixed that. That is the first place they touch. The spacers make all the difference.

Looking great!
How much did you notice the front end squat with the added weight?
Did it change the driving dynamics noticeably ?

That is awesome to hear. I keep getting mixed feelings about spacers (adapters), but it seems that properly installed they shouldn't be an issue even while under heavy load. Looks like you get out with your, do have have tail experience with spacers? Thinking this might just be what I end up with as I too really like the stock rims and could easily get spacers and skids for the price to replace rims I really like.
*I had settled on 35's being the next set of tires, but if 37's work with just spacers; that will completely change that.

I have spacers on my JK. 42s. Curries. Atlas 4 speed. No issues whatsoever. It gets wheeled hard. It’s folklore about spacer issues. Quality ones anyway.

My JK next to the 2.0 JL.

First mod? Our engine and transmission tuning!

Second? We are going to see about offering our flex fuel upgrade like we do for the 3.6. We know based on this on other 392 platforms, it will need injectors at least to do it. But it's high on the priority list to get it figured out and offered!

Then? Who knows

Newb question, so don’t shame me too harshly. What’s the advantage of upgrading to a Flex-Fuel system?

It'll be good, that's for sure!

It allows the use of either 91/93 (depending on what you request), E85, or any mix of the two without changing calibrations. The truck itself auto adjusts for ethanol content.

E85 does get less mileage, but it is cleaner, makes more power, and at least locally, is about $1.60 a gallon cheaper than 93!

If your running a Tazer for tire calibration would you still be able to run a tune?

You could, but our tuner takes care of tire size adjustments too, so if that's all you're using it for, you wouldn't need it anymore.

So I put on the Bolt hood lock but had to replace the grilled inserts with the JL ones since Bolt doesn’t have the JT mold. Has anyone modified their center insert ?

This probably won't work with the front camera though, right? Aren't they both in the same location?
