Only been a day but couldn’t be happier honestly. Absolutely no difference from stock as far as ride,handling or comfort.
Sweeeeet...can't wait to get those done!

With the truck leveled out, any thoughts on how quickly you'd get into a "squat"? I plan on having my rooftop tent (140lbs), a couple bikes on the hitch, and a cooler/water tank/camping gear in the back on certain trips and was a little worried that leveling it out too much might get me into squat mode too easily.

I might consider doing only the 1" for the teraflex in the front just to be safe :movember:

35”x10.50”x17” Kenda Klevers, Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit and Daystar 3/4” rear spacers on.
Got her almost dead level and impressed with these Kenda’s so far.Very quiet and smooth riding and at 10.50” wide stay tucked inside the fenders without pelting the sides with road grime and rocks.

CN you post some pictures of your rig with the top closed? I've been trying to decide if I want that flip top, but I can't decide if I can deal with the red hardtop with black front.

I put all my new EVO Mfg. front suspension parts in the backseat of it for later install...

Ordered it on Saturday, it shipped on Tuesday, and arrived today... Hard to beat that!

Interesting - how long have you had this installed and how has it held up? I don't know much about the air lift stuff, would this result in any limitations when going offroad at all?

Also, cool video, thanks for documenting all that! Annnd awesome Jeep! :jk:

Looks great! Is that this kit from Daystar? Their description is confusing, sounds like 3/4" on front and back, but also says levels. I emailed them, but haven't received a response. @Daystar ?

Have the Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit up front and Daystar 3/4” spacers for the rear only. When I have weight in the bed it sort of maintains the level front to rear if that makes sense.

Here you go. Sorry not the best shots. Debated whether to go black or paint match on the hardtop and my dealer was willing to swap.
At the time was thinking about getting the Mopar soft top for summer but I just can’t get over the look of it fully open.

That’s why I went with the Daystar rear spacers to maintain level when the bed is under load.

ARE cap and bedrug installed. Love them both so far, exactly what I was looking for!

Testing using a cargo tray to take the trash out since they won't fit in the bed now.

That cap looks great!
What model is it? I can't seem to figure it out from their website. Thank you

If ya don’t mind me asking, what’s the ballpark cost on one of these? I can’t find it on their site.
I configured it with just about everything under the sun and it came out to $1750.

I think I’ve said this before, but I really really like the paint and decals you’ve got goin on. There’s something “vintage” or “70’s” about it. Like maybe Daisy Duke should be in the pic. Or even 2005 Jessica Simpson.
