JL/JT Leveling Kit - Coil Lift / THOUGHTS?

[Botrod]

I’m leaning towards the daystar over the mopar complete kit. I’d like to see some other options come out before spending that kind of money on a 2” kit. I just drove 1500 miles and enjoyed the factory ride. Just need a few extra inches and the 35s.

Real question is how difficult to install the spacer lift in my driveway in near 100 degree Texas heat. I’ve installed spacers on a TJ and a JK so assuming this is no different

I just installed the alloy usa 1.5in front + 0.75in rear spacers my self. Looks great but you definitely notice a change in handling. If it keeps up im going to have to drop to 33’s from my 35’s or something. Its not terrible and I could probably live with it but its not as nice as the factory ride.

Good choice @JTguy2020 . What many people fail to realize is that as soon as one starts lifting and adding bigger tires, the driving and handling characteristics are drastically changed. Go figure. Be sure to post some pics of your rig with the Rubicon take offs.

Before and after - enjoy!

This is my first jeep without getting a suspension lift I am in heaven with my stock factory smooth like a car in drive… The only thing I’m gonna do is win the coil spring space or less come out I do not want to touch any of the suspension and I am just as happy with my stock lift on my sport S - The people at work keep saying… You always say you’re not doing anything when is your left going on and I am serious as a heart attack… I am not putting another suspension on my Jeeps waste of money and I’m not gonna lose that Factory soft ride and I’m happy with 33’s

Cant say i blame you! Im still ultimately planning to get the mopar lift so as to maintain the stock ride quality. Just waiting on confirmation from mopar that it doesn’t effect my tow ratings

It will NOT maintain your factory ride. Whomever is telling you that it will is delusional.

thanks man. i really appreciate it. if and when a coil spring lift comes out i may do that as i've always had that on my JK's. but we'll see what the reviews are first. as of now. i just need a TONNEAU cover and LED light mounts. i have a brand new set from 2017 still packaged up but looking for a great dual mounting bracket - once thats ' done then she'll be good to go

Looks great. Are those the n-fab nerf bars? Which wheel is that? Thanks

Thanks ,yes they're n-fab. Wheels are Fuel Hostage 20X12 -44 Offset. You might want a 20X10 wheel same offset they won't stick out as much.

That looks awesome, I like the Gladiator decal, looks great with that color .

I have always loved that Rubicon decal look for the hood .... so I figured I can do it with the gladiator / I hope it’s not overkill - but I love that color combination
I thought it would look good against the silver

What lift setup will? Nothing?
