@Clayton Off Road
Does this kit or any of your kits increase the amount of suspension travel?

What a difference a day makes!
I have the same suspension sitting in the house with Falcons 2.1s and already
talked to my tire guy about ordering some Ridge grapplers.
Just put in my order for a Sarge green Rubi yesterday. It's gonna be long wait.

That's a nice amount of lift! That's why I didn't go for the 3.5" version. Wanted to keep the center of gravity lower.

I had a hard time deciding myself, but after talking with Clayton over the phone, they assured me. They mentioned the same thing, a better ride quality with lower center of gravity. It’s plenty tall IMO. I gotta buy some steps of something to help me get in and out of it ASAP!! Lol

Which length fox shocks did you do in the front? The height we gain looks like the 3.5-4" is the correct one

I went with the 2-3” per Clayton’s recommendation

@Clayton Off Road

I just purchased the 3.5 Overland Plus lift kit. I haven't purchased my shocks yet because I am unsure of the proper lenght to buy for the rears.

I have a Rubicon. How much lift will I gain at the rear? I'm going to purchase Fox 2.0 front shocks for 3.5-4" of lift. What is the proper length shock I should purchase for the rear? Fox 2.0 rear shocks 2-3" lift or 3.5-4"?

The rear is going to be sitting around 4" so you'll want to go with the same 3.5-4" shock package!

If you want to run stock wheels you're also going to have to run some sort of wheel spacer, as the larger tires would actually rub on the control arms since the stock wheels do not fall within our recommended backspacing spec of 4.5 to 4.75. Something like a 1/2" or 3/4" wheel spacer should work fine. In regards to the springs, you won't have any issues after installing your winch, the springs are designed to handle extra weight like this without a problem!

@Clayton Off Road the 3.5 Overland Plus kit I ordered last week will include the newly designed rear trackbar right? I saw you had posted that you guys were working on a new rear trackbar to accommodate a 37" spare underneath the truckbed.

I am currently running 37" tires on my Rubicon in stock form. My spare has about an 1/8" of clearance from the stock rear trackbar.
