Fitted an AEV 3.5" premium lift kit to the JKUR. And a front AEV winch bar. The thing looks massive at the moment with original wheels and tyres. Got a slight wobble after 200k's of driving on it. Time to get under there and re tension everything. Fist time using drop brackets and I have never been a fan of them. Hoped I would not get the wobbles. Should have stuck with adjustable arms so I can dial in caster easily.
Wheel alignment may help but Im not holding my breath.
...here we go again

Looks a little strange 2" lift and 245s, amazing how much quiter the Jeep has become though on the road.

Using some chrome sticker sheet to keep the heat off the roof in summer.
Hopefully it works.

Bad move, the chrome vinyl will not take a lot of direct sun before it starts to crack all over and then removing the mess will be a nightmare, I give it 3 months at best before it gets to be unsightly removal nightmare



.

The difference between theory and practice is, in theory there is no difference...
