Teraflex 0.5" spacers front and rear are only $50-something dollars, and a fairly easy install.
Went with .75 spacers all the way around and found a smokin deal on some Bilstein’s for lifted applications. Very happy with the ride (I prefer the stiffer bilstein damping). Now I’m looking at 37’s

Smart going with 3-peak/snowflake tires. I'm in WA, & like to travel into Canada and Alaska sometimes. Lots of tire choices out there.Went with .75 spacers all the way around and found a smokin deal on some Bilstein’s for lifted applications.

will be moving to the Upper Peninsula next year so a 3peak tire is somewhat mandatory. Have had great luck with Falkens in the past and currently have a set of 35x12.50x20 Mickey Baja boss at on my new duramax but it’s a garage queen and hardly a comparison.
Thoughts??
I know there’s a few new RT styles out.
Why? Cause!!!Went and got the XR flexed out in the rocks yesterday, really digging the Rk 2.5” and bilstein combo.
Yeah, I’m looking into something like that or springs. I have the longer Lca’s coming so I’m good there, I think at that lift I’d have to get adjustable track bars and some longer sway bar links.
Maybe, maybe not. You're already lifted 3/4" all around, so adding another 1.25" up front and 3/4" in the rear may not be enough to require those things. You've already got longer sway bar links with the XR package. Might be worth a try and see - you can always go back to your 3/4" spacers.
Unless they changed in 24 which I doubt the XR only changes springs and shocks as far as suspension goes so your links are not taller. The Mopar 2” lift raises the XR up another 1.5” and comes with the longer front LCAs and longer front and rear links with the springs and shocks. You are setup for bump stop already for 35’s and light wheeling on 37’s. My opinion is the XR takes the stock components to their max. Any taller you will want to adjust the front LCAs and links. I went from stock Rubicon to XR package and ran the Mopar 2” on both of those models and now MC 3.5” on my XR so I have a good feel for all the little changes in height.
That’s about what I’ve come up with in my research as well. I’ve upgraded to longer and stiffer shocks, as well as the lca’s. Next step at whatever point is adjustable sway bar links/track bars along with longer springs, just doing my research on exactly what I’d want for those.
I’ve been at this for about 7 years first with a JK and now the JL. Reading forums over the course of all that time and gathering info on people’s likes and dislikes. My neighbor and Jeeping friend has the MC 3.5 on his JK and I’ve been impressed so figured it was a safe bet for me based on his experience and what I read on the forums. Sounds like you are doing your homework and thinking through it. Enjoy the process!!
