XR observations

[jasander77]

I have the tow package and collapsed front springs.

Dang ... there goes that theory. Here's to hoping they address for '23s. Not holding breath.

I have the tow package, and only have .5-.75 inches of clearance between bump stop and axle pad.

I believe that XR makes a huge difference in the stance when you compare it to stock Rubicon
I have seen and driven both

I’m watching this thread because I have an ‘23 XR eT on order with same goals in mind and have become a little concerned. I ordered with steel bumpers and plan to add a winch, upgrade shocks, steering stabilizer and skid plates. Will likely also purchase a Rhino Rack and RTT (would not be installed full time). I ordered XR mostly for the underlying components and potentially not needing to lift. Looking at the last few posts with part numbers has me wondering if Tow Package plays a role in the sagging/not sagging? Could it potentially have stiffer springs as is sometimes the case with trucks I’ve owned. I don’t recall seeing anyone mention if they have it or not? Mine will have it.

Watching this too. I am days away from putting an order in for a XR.

At first glance I thought @Headbarcode was starting over and getting an XR.

stance difference-meaning better or worse?

People keep talking about the bump stops being an issue, and I can understand that if you plan on keeping the 35s.... but it seems to me that if you plan on doing 37s, the stock bump stops are almost perfect to give you that full stuff without rubbing, or barely rubbing at least, if you keep the stock fenders and inner liners. Coil spacers or bigger springs would only help with ride height and available up-travel, especially after adding steel bumper/winch, and additional articulation would need new shocks at a minimum. Am I thinking about that right?

I have the tow package and mine sags Honestly Jeep should recall and fix this. It seems a lot of us got the XR so we didn't have to get a lift shocks etc.. They should expect 90% of XRs will get a new bumper and or winch. It's irritating BTW That Yellow High Tide looks AMAZING!

O

oh its 10x better, so much more aggressive and mean looking

Is weight going to be a problem if installing rock slide steps?
no wheeling just driving around town.

No, I wouldn’t think so.
