Glad to help. I am running Fox 2.0 IFP 2-3" and have the 3.6 gasser. It rides/handles great around town and on rutted out backcountry roads. All the loose sketchy handling is gone as well from the stock suspension.
I think with my Sport S Ecodiesel trim and 35s will look great tooThis might help you. 2.5 Overland Plus on Method 703 0 offset with KO2 315/70/17. Top pic loaded down with gear and bottom pics empty.
Do it, buy now! You'll be happy.
Fantastic to hear. I have heard the same about the falcons but running the 3.3 version that are adjustable should help. Did you buy any other components other than the lift?
Yours absolutely will look great. The Sport doesn't have the Rubicon's Highline fenders so there isn't as much "gap". You're setup should look perfect!
Man oh man, my 2.5 ride right kit has been sitting for too long! I'm gonna get mine installed this weekend! Your JT has inspired me to get it done. I had my doubts if I ordered the right kit and those doubts are gone.This might help you. 2.5 Overland Plus on Method 703 0 offset with KO2 315/70/17.

Yea, I think they will be good for the diesel. Only other thing I have is just a Fox 2.0 TS steering stabilizer and some extra skids plates.
Awesome, you will like it. The kit is solid! Just follow all the pointers in this thread about the installation. Sway bar endlinks and jams nuts all need to be tight.
Actually kinda like the look of a fender gap. On the Rubicon in those pics. Not a fan of the how big of tires can I fit with the stuffed look. Might as well go with 24s and 60 series tire.
Yes, the original photos were the stock 33" Falken ATs
I don't really think it's Clayton's fault given the lack of post in the back. It's mostly just folks wanting to get as much down travel as possible and buying long travel shocks.
The shocks are the ones sold and recommended by Clayton (Falcon 3.3), and a while back they were looking at some possible solutions. I am just asking to see if they have come up with something to avoid me having to reposition the shocks at home every time I have an oil change or a tire rotation.
There's unfortunately nothing we can do about this issue, as it is really more of a Jeep design problem and needs to be remedied either by shock manufacturers designing shocks with less travel, or by using some sort of spring retainer kit or limiting straps. Teraflex actually just came out with a spring retainer kit for the JT to help remedy this issue, so definitely check that out if you're interested! Also, Falcon has told us that they are actually now recommending using their 2-3" shocks for vehicles with under 4" of lift, as this also solves the too much travel problem that is occuring. Happy to answer any other questions regarding this issue if anybody needs any advice!
Thoughts about the 3.5 kit on a Diesel Rubicon........sorry for taking the lazy route and not reading all 23 pages.
