Lift and Tyres of your JK

[xdefender]

I put that same size on my 2010 3.8 and I could not feel any difference. Made me think I should have gone bigger

I am running that setup on my JKU. I have attached an image that doesn't fully show the protrusion but gives an idea of scale. Seacomms is right - the tyres stuck out by a good inch or more depending on whether you included lugs on the muddies.

I fitted Trailmods removable flares straight away because from the rear it was pretty obvious. These flares provided about an inch and a half extra coverage on each corner, and only just cover everything,

And here are pics of the lift going on a few months ago. Synergy 3in progressive coils and fox remotes. Replaced the Mopar/Lovells stuff. Fortunately, there was an issue with the Mopar coils where they were crashing in to the sway bar link on one side, and the dealer replaced under warranty, and I provided the new suspension components, and they were all fitted by the dealer. Future warranty could be an interesting conversation if the dealer has fitted themselves.

You can see in one picture, where she is back on the ground, that it is sitting pretty high. I measured height to guard before the lift change out (with a 2in lift installed) and after the install it picked up just over 10cm, and so was sitting at 4 and a half over stock. But it has settled now and is probably 3 and a half. The lift has been awesome. Immediately after I did rear track bar bracket, brake line brackets, front steering damper flip, already had front swaybar discos, and installed rear extended sway bar links (I think that's about it). I am about to fit Synergy adjustable panhard rod to better centre the rear diff.

Since it has dropped do yourself and your bushes a favor and loosen all trackbar and control arm bolts. Let it sit for a little while and bounce it around then retorque them all back to spec to allow all the bushes to recentre themselves

Oh and by the way looks pretty good!

I am going to get them from there in a couple of weeks, what size/type did you get?

Hi all, I need some advice on what suspension I should get for the rubicon.
I'm leaning towards dbor tourer kit 3" $2100. I'm running 33" tiers, maybe I'll put 35's.
I want something comfy and soft. But can take the load. It has front and rear bars. 40L engle and other odds and ends. Winch will be added soon.
I have had problems with so called "better ride than stock" claims in the past. And do not want to repeat it this time around.
What bo yous recommend? Maybe anything else at around$2500? Thank you
