Nice! I'm still on the same combo as you with Mopar front LCA from their 2" lift. Almost a year and no reason to spend more money yet.

NIce!!! Any rubbing? Did you use wheel spacers? Also- any issues with motorhome tow-bar leveling/or how much difference from stock?

No rubbing, but could use a little more room in the rear with the factory fender liners still intact. If someone made a 1.5 rear spacer instead of the .75 I have, it would be better.
No wheel spacers, they are Quadratec Rubicon Extreme wheels 17x9 with 4.75 BS.
I am using Maximus-3 tow bar loops which sit below the bumper. I had to use a small riser to keep the tow bar level. Even leveled with 37's, I think it tows better than our previous lifted 2dr JK on 35's.

What gears are you running and how does it drive?

So I have 4:10 gears. Will most likely have to regear but haven’t yet. So far it drives ok, braking is a bit tougher with the big tires on but strangely enough the tires are a bit quieter. I need to buy a tazer to redo out the new info in on the tires and reset the tpms thresholds.

their 8000 series shocks. I think it’s great

Looks good. Got any photos from the front showing how far the tires stick out with the -12 RT105 wheels with 12.5 tires? Was considering these or the AEV Savegre II. Was leaning AEV because of the offset pulls the wheels in a bit closer and I like the style a bit better. But the price keeps making me take a second look at the Rocktrix. Just dont want the wheels to stick out too far, just dont like that look and throws more crap on the fenders.

Yessir. With 20" wheels, I'd much prefer something a little more meaty -- like some 35s or 37s -- but something about the proportion of the lift to the wheel to the tire really works well. Perhaps it's the width. I don't know.

I'll go take a photo from the window in my conference room. You'll see what I mean about the proportion, and you'll be able to see that they are 33s for sure.

Edited/updated to include photo.

Do you have a trained elephant that helps you get in and out of that thing?

Hahaha! No but my legs look good when I get in and out of the Jeep though.
