Mine is a gas burner but this is the mopar lift with spacer in the front and 37s.

It will be a really nice setup especially with the diesel.I copied that picture yesterday. Except for the wheels, that's my Jeep next month.
Nice, some info on those rims please.![]()

What kind of mileage are you getting? I only drive mine on weekends, so it's not a big deal, but I do take it on road trips sometimes.I just had a Mopar 2" lift installed with 37's and now looking to add a leveling spacer to accommodate the weight of the metal bumper and 12k winch, after getting it home I do see the need for adjustable track bars also and starting to look and see what will work best for my JTRD.
This is my first Jeep and build so it's a learning experience.

On the steps: They are the Go Rhino RB20. I'm OCD when it comes to having badges all over my Jeep. I drilled the Go Rhino rivets out holding on the name plate. It left no scratches in the powder coating and looks nice. The only badges I left on the whole Jeep is the ecodiesel badge and the trail rated badge, and I considered removing those.Looking to get the Mopar lift myself soon. Although I'm already running the Teraflex 1.5 inch level up front.
Done a bit of research for when I make the move myself. And I've heard you'll definitely want an adjustable front track bar. Especially after the front level. If you were just running the lift by itself, I've heard mixed reviews on whether the track bar is necessary. But with any additional height with the lift, I'd say so. I plan to do the exact same when I get mine installed. I'll probably just run the 1 inch spacer from my teraflex kit and drop the .5 inch puck. That way it'll compensate for the slight rake it would have without it. And also compensate for my winch eventually. I'm already running the Mopar 3 piece steel bumper and skid (running the stubby option).
I would probably get an alignment afterwards too.
Side note: nice side steps...I have the same except the non slim version. ?
I currently only have 1400 miles on it and its averaging 23 MPG at the moment. I do drive it to work and have to deal with the heavy traffic on I95 in Northen Virgina on my 60 mile round trip. I haven't had a chance to go on a long trip but looking to go down to Virgina Beach soon to see what I will be getting at speeds around 75 or so.What kind of mileage are you getting?

I drive Dallas to Dover once or twice a year to see my granddaughters. I don't like airlines or having my kids drive to Philadelphia to pick me up. I've had my Jeep since February and only have 6k miles. 3200 miles was a trip to Delaware.I currently only have 1400 miles on it and its averaging 23 MPG at the moment.

I have not felt much of a difference with the way it drives or shifts and stays in 8th gear unless I'm on a large incline.I drive Dallas to Dover once or twice a year to see my granddaughters.

Do you have any problems getting into 8th gear?
The wheels are SCS K5.Nice, some info on those rims please.
Are you getting any rub when wheeling and what offset on wheel (if any)?![]()
Here’s my diesel rubicon with the Mopar lift and the 1.5 inch TerraFlex leveling kit on 37s.

I have since added a stubby bumper and a 12,000lb winch.
0 rub, 0 offset.Are you getting any rub when wheeling and what offset on wheel (if any)?
This is not a Mopar lift. Notice the rear upper and lower control arms. They are tubular and adjustable. Same for the front lower control arm. The Mopar lift does not come with any rear control arms.![]()
