In the past month, I’ve installed parts from: Clayton Rockhard 4x4 Metalcloak Rancho Teraflex So…

Installed some Rancho Shock Skids. Fit was perfect and install was straight forward

3.5” JKS Mfg Front Coil Springs - $100 2” AEV Rear Coil Spring Spacers - $30 2” AEV Front/Rear Shock Extensions - $50 Pickup Only - Pittsburgh (Plum)

Installed Metalcloak Front and Rear Differential Covers today. The reusable gaskets make life so much easier.

lol, very true. A few jeeps ago, I was returning one to stock to trade in and I got to the point where I hoped the bolts would just snap… Even still, I’m not willing to finish the job looking like the tin man, ha.

Installed Rockhard 4x4 rear frame side control arm skis on Sunday and today I installed the Teraflex rear control arm brackets.

2” bumpstops.

I didn’t have the same luck. 35s + 2” lift = couldnt turn the wheel when fully flexed.

Went from snowboarding fresh snow on my local ski hill yesterday with my son to wrenching in my driveway today on a 60+ degree day. Gotta love Pittsburgh weather. Threw on a Fox steering stabilizer with the Clayton relocation bracket.

Interesting. I couldn’t clear 35s at full articulation with a 2” lift. Couldn’t imagine 37s. (OP has sport flares)

It depends on the extended shock length. Same goes for the rear with brake lines. Most 2.5” lifts out of the box have modest travel and not a concern (I.e. going from 8” travel to 10”). I found that I could run 12” Fox shocks with only 2” bumpstops but that puts you in front DS and rear...

Tad bit salty at the local ski hill

Santa clause brought some goodies so they got a Willys appropriate paint job in preparation for installation.

I pulled off my JKS front Trackbar to lengthen it due to a lift increase. After a couple years, it required a vice, large pipe wrench, and a BFH to break the jam nut loose.

I have the rigid backup lights in my rear bumper and they make an incredible difference. I also click off the headlights when backing up to kill the license plate lights.

Congrats, I can’t speak for the GEO brackets but AEV tends to have some of the best instructions lift-wise. It’s pretty simple. Probably my least favorite part was the front bumpstops. I did that once and decided never again so I tapped the spring perches and used hockey pucks for ease of...

It’s not a great sign that the shop that installed the draglink flip didn’t know a raised Trackbar bracket would be required. Hope it works out for ya.

My rear sport flares just clear a 37” with 2” of bumpstop. I’d imagine with a rubicon, it would only take an inch max with the extra space.

Won’t be a problem temporarily. Your downtravel will only be 1.5-2” so definitely would stick to the pavement. If the lead time for rebuild is to long, I’d buy the cheapest shock extensions you could find though.
