Here’s my 2 cents…You came swinging right off the bat…any ride comparison between XR stock and Mopar Lift?
looks good
That's awesome, so you see 8th gear with the 4.56 and 37" tires?
Show me how to tell what gear the transmission is in. All it says is D on the LED screen and I'll get back to you.
Menu screen allows you to change to show which gear.
Thanks for the tip. The transmission goes into 8th gear at 45MPH and stays there without hunting. Hope this helps.
that helps a lot, interesting cause I would’ve guessed 4.88 would be the minimum for 37’s but maybe the 4.56 work just fine.
Not bad, considering my region asks for $5-10k ADM on in stock units. My closest dealership has no inventory but told me they'll custom order one for $2,500 over msrp. I've bought several wranglers and Rams from them and they did not give a sh!t. I ordered out of town and got 6% off invoice. I don't mind the wait, I still use my JKU.Not mine but I saw my first XR last night. Looked good. Had a $2k adm.
I just need to bring this up on my phone... I don't log into the computer enough.. We had a blast at Rausch Creek Offroad Park. We stuck to easy stuff for the first time out. A few bumps along the way, but we had a good time.
Bahahaah, I swear I tried to raise the damn 3rd break light. I don't know how I couldn't get the damn thing to work. I ended up buying the Mopar kit and moving it to the center of the wheel, I guess I need to go back and re-investigate this, having to take it loose every time I rotate the tires is going to get annoying where it is now.I received mt JLXR a few days ago. After it came off the truck and still in the Service Department I added the Mopar 2" lift with Fox shocks and steering stabilizer. I gained exactly 1" on all four corners of lift. Thus the stock XR option likely has about 1.5" of lift from the factory. I then added Yokohama Geolandar X-A/T 37 12.50 17 tires with no clearance issues with the trailing arms. I ordered the factory beadlock rings but the Dealer said they were not DOT street legal here in SC so I did not put them on at this time. I found that likely there are no States that beadlock wheels are DOT approved according to my limited research, Added some rock sliders next. Then added Dana Spicer 44 Cast Iron Diferential Covers front and back. Added the Warn Evo 10S winch and hawse fairlead. Lastly added Advanced wheel locks 2ea/wheel to try and keep my wheels on the Jeep! FYI to get the brake light to fit the 37" tires simply remove the two screws and pull the frame up to the next hole and replace with only two screws. Five minute fix with zero cost.
Anyone need some brand new 35's or the old factory 1.5" springs shocks etc let me know. Here are some pics of my ride for your review and comment.
Yeah, I bought all that bracket and threaded lug nut stuff as well as longer spare tire spacers. After I read your thread, I decided to see it I could get the light raised about 1.5" to clear the 37" tire. Took the spare tire off and pulled a little slack on the wire and then removed both screws on each side and pulled the light bracket up the 1.5" to the next hole in the bracket. Installed the bottom two screws back into the bracket and it is still very strong IMO. Still has all the factory stuff and I don't have to mess with wiring and lights when I rotate the tires and my backup camera is still in the factory housing and location.. Hope this clarification helps.Bahahaah, I swear I tried to raise the damn 3rd break light. I don't know how I couldn't get the damn thing to work.

The beadlocks are going to have to be a personal endeavor or you could probably get a 4wd shop to do it if you look around. Your standard shop will not accept the liability, nor do you want them to IMO. It's definitely not something they do day to day, and it's important that they get it right. It definitely makes a huge difference in the pressures you can run off road, and that translates into a super plush ride, and much more available grip. I'm enjoying them so far.
Your Jeep is looking damn fine by the way
