What mods do you regret and would NOT do again?

I’ve had one with the Mopar 2” (which lifted closer to 3”) and now have one with the TeraFlex ST2 (2 1/2”). Pics are with 37" tires.

I've got the same suspension with 35's. Do you think the Falcon shocks ride too harshly? I'm thinking bout swapping for something else after 20k bumpy miles.

I regret putting the 2 inch Mopar lift on my Rubicon 4xe. I installed it a week ago and so far, after it's settled it's netted me 1.5 inches in the front and .75 inches in the rear. Definitely not worth the time or the money...

As you probably know they do make an adjustable Falcon shock if you want a softer ride. I have the 3.1 non-adjustable and like them better than the Fox shocks on my previous Mopar lift (or maybe it's the different coil springs that make the ride feel better and the shocks are the same). That said, both were good options and at the end of the day I probably rely more on aired down tires than the shocks anyway when it comes to the bumps on the trails since I take it pretty slow off-roading.

Dang! Make sure the part # they sent you is 77072522AB. It sounds like you might have one designed for a different engine configuration.

Lol, I'm the opposite of you guys, I like the stubby. Just put on another on my JLR, JT kept the orig. I don't notice much signal loss but I'm not in BFE, nor do I really listen to the radio. The whip 1 is just annoying.

I totally agree! I love the look of mine and have never really noticed an issue but I do use Spotify more than regular radio!

I did that on mine as well as the gynormus muffler.

You painted it?? I absolutely hate that on my Jeep, such an eye sore. What type of paint did you use, how's it holding up? Can I see a photo. I've been looking at skid plate to hide it.

S Pod. I know it's high quality, but for what I needed, I could have spent less then half the money and got something that would have performed just as well, like an MLC-6 or Voswitch.

I just installed the Voswitch and absolutely love it!

Just standard high-temp paint from the hardware store. Like grill paint. Gave it a quick wash and rubdown with a green scouring pad, then sprayed. Mine flaked off the two hanger straps but the muffler is still black, did it quite a while ago.

Yes, cleaned off with alcohol and sprayed it with hi temp grill paint. Did that on my last one and sold it 2 years later, looked fine. Hard to see it in the pic.

Hard to see is what makes it look so great!! Thank you for the tip. This never crossed my mind to do.

Thank you so much! I have no idea why this thought never came to mind. I've just been trying to find a way to cover it up. Haha

Rear trailer hitch; I ordered one soon after I bought my 2dr Rubi, never installed it. After dragging my rear bumper on the trails, I've realized I don't want to sacrifice the ground clearance, so there it sits in my garage, NIB.

That should be an easy sale if posted in the Member Marketplace. Just a thought.

Love this look man, both full widths look awesome, ill have to do some research on which one to get, but i do think the powder coat is super clean and this one fits the body line so much more!!!
