I will be selling my wheels, tires and suspension once the lift goes on. I don't like selling things I don't currently have in my possession.
Call it preordering and you’ll be fine. Car manufacturers do it all the time. Just ask, well, anyone who’s ordered a vehicle in the past year. :)

Installed an X-Bull XPV 13,500. It was easy to install and looks great! At $400 time will tell if I'll cry twice...so far so good.

Decided to plastidip the grill black instead of buying one, removed the mesh inserts and added thin red line insert. Upgraded LED headlights from the stock halogens. Waiting on bumber to ship next!

Has anyone with a Rubicon used only the 1.0" front leveling kit? I am wondering if just the 1" would be enough. Leaving the rear stock. If so, please post pics.

You are way nicer than I am! There is a time and a place for someone to learn how to weld..... on the FRAME OF A BRAND NEW TRUCK IS NOT IT!!! I'd be absolutely livid. :mad: :facepalm:

Following up from my last reply lol, sorry, your pics pissed me off for you haha

I'd take it to a legit welder, have them all cleaned up at least, and then properly coated for rust protection, make it all look as good as possible. I'd then send the bill to the original shop, that's just sh*tty work....

I swapped out my EVO Plush Ride coils for some Clayton coils. The EVO's are nice, I just wanted something a bit firmer. The Clayton's seem to do the trick. (EVO's are for sale, if anyone is looking for a set).
