Great looking ride! But how much tire do you have sticking out past the fenders?Mopar lift with factory wheels/tires and new wheels/35” tires.

Here are a couple photos.Great looking ride! But how much tire do you have sticking out past the fenders?
2” Mopar
35s
Thanks!Here are a couple photos.
I noticed the same thing with my AEV lift. Had the same problem with my leveled Ram 1500. Once you see it you can’t not stop seeing it.Anyone else about .5in to 1in lower on the passenger side, heard this is due to fuel tank, but it's quite noticeable to me.
That's good news!Once you see it you can’t not stop seeing it.
Looking at the same configuration. How’s the ride?2" Mopar Lift, JKS adjustable track bar and 315/70/17 BFG KO2's. No additional spacers
My JLU rode perfectly on a 2.5" Rough Country spacer lift & 33s. Two years later I finally got around to getting my recall work done 'just in case'. After they replaced my steering damper, I started getting death wobble. FCA & the dealership were good about correcting it free of charge by adding a Mopar steering dampner & tie rod ends. Drives perfectly again. So, yeah ... DW in the JL/JT is hit or miss, even hit or miss with minor 'fixes'.He said over the years he’s installed hundreds of lifts, including many JT/JL platforms and found adequate solutions to bump steer, and death wobble. He said with his experience some ride good without additional components and some don’t. Rather than combat the odds he went ahead and upgraded his 2” MOPAR with the proper component inclusions necessary to avoid any alignment issues and maximize comfort and handling. So, if you’ve been looking to upgrade your current 2” MOPAR lift or you're like me and want to hit the ground running when installing the 2” MOPAR lift, this could be a route to go. The additional components are on the higher end, but coming from a veteran tech on his own truck, this should be rock solid. I did some web surfing and came up with approx $2600-$2700 for everything listed below.

Thanks for your valued reply! This is great info, and yes I’ve watched Dr. Deathwobble for various fixes and he’s usually on point with his solutions. I agree my components list is costly and extensive and possibly not necessary in some cases. your 1,2,3, method is probably the way to go to keep it economic and irradiate the issue one step at a time.

Having done your research, I'm sure you've watched Dr. Death Wobble's video explaining the harmonics in the steering components that contribute to it. Based on this, and my budget, here's my plan for the JT I'm picking up tomorrow.
1. Drive for a week stock to test for DW. If DW, go to dealership. If not, go to step 2.
2. Install the Mopar 2" lift. If still no DW, ride on. If I get DW, go to step 3.
3. Install the SteerSmarts adjustable front track bar.
The single beefier track bar should disrupt any existing harmonics in the steering. While the SteerSmarts track bar isn't the cheapest on the market, I believe it is the beefiest ... and most likely to eliminate DW as a solitary replacement.
It rides similar to stock, maybe a little stiffer. I have no complaints.Looking at the same configuration. How’s the ride?
what trail is this? i live in sanclemente as well looking for relatively close trails
