Rubicon build control arm/lift opinions!

[JTDiesel589]

2023 JT Rubicon Diesel

Getting ready to order the list below. I will be 99% on road so I’m not looking for the most extreme bulletproof parts and flex. I want a quality lift that’s good on road and won’t rub if I decide to do some off roading. Any input on this list below?

-Clayton 2.5” front and rear springs.
-Synergy front lower control arms.
-Synergy front and rear track bars.
-Fox 2.0 shocks.
-1” teraflex front spacer. (Remove rake).
-37x12.50x17 nitto ridge grapplers.
-17x8.5 rims, 0mm offset.

Front and rear sway bar end links.

If it were me, I'd do drag link and tie rod bars too

Shocks?

Won't be long you'll go with all 8 control arms.

A lift isn't really about off road comfort, it's about on road comfort with the ability to flex off road.

Thanks. Shocks I’m just planning to do Fox 2.0’s. I’ve read there not super stiff like others…. So you think synergy components are better than Clayton?

I can't say I know anything more than the next guy ... but I looked at piecing together lift components for my JTR gasser and ended up going with the Clayton 2.5 Overland plus and Falcon 3.3 shocks. I am running 37" Bajaj Boss A/Ts and am quite happy with the whole set up.

I'm biased towards Synergy just because of their design. I am not a fan of jam nuts or having to remove a part to make an adjustment.

Sounds good thanks for feedback.

I would add at 3.5”+ front lift and best “ride”- long arm front end ???

Depending on the length of the shocks you choose… front drive shaft is not too far off.

This is going to be a pretty tall Jeep for the street.
1.5” front spacer will get you 37’s, and level. Front will need 1/2” front bump pads for a diesel and no rubbing. ??
Then you won’t need all the other fun stuff.

I can second/support this. There adjustability is awesome/super easy.
