Today I got my Rough Country Speedometer calibrator model 90019. I ordered it direct from Rough Country for $149 and it arrived in 3 days. Nice looking unit with a case, charging and interface cables. It connected right up to the interface block behind the globebox (not the OBDII port)...
General lack of inventory for Sport and Sport S with the factories shut down. Dealer's can't afford to take looser deals anymore because they aren't hitting volume bonuses. Meanwhile more Overlands and Rubicons left because they do not have as aggressive incentives. I paid $32K for my Sport...
The T1 part number is TG-BC1C9012 -- Here is the Amazon link. I opted for the Amazon "Used - Like New" which was about $154 at the time. Amazon will say it won't fit but it does. Make sure it's the 5'2" 05-18 version. I've been running this cover on my JT for 3 months. Decent buy for the...
DTD will run a flash sale and offer these for $100 at times. You can stack this with the 5% rebate when using their credit card and 0% financing. I just picked up 4.
Otherwise, you can Goodyear products for 20% off right now using NASCAR20 code on the goodyear website. They also have...
A few days now driving around on the suspension and I'm very pleased. Can't really say it's any better or worse then it drove before the lift. I'm still chasing down a few minors issues. When braking I can sometimes hear a clicking noise from the driver side wheel area.
I can check the part numbers, but don't have them with me at the moment. The donor vehicle was a Rubicon and my vehicle is a base Sport.
I am using the Mopar fixed length control arms from the 2" lift kit. There is no caster adjustment to be made. I was trying to understand how the two...
This is what I keep getting told
Which is why this calculation is confusing me. 3.4" front and 2.15" rear is WAY more then expected.
Yes. The factory isolator (which comes in two version) matches with the way the factory finishes the bottom of the stock springs, with an index point. The...

You said earlier in this thread, and your pictures show, that you trimmed your front bumper. Without that trimming you would have rubbed. I don't see how people can say these fit a stock Sport, they do not.
#1 It's a 4 wheel spring lift with caster correcting front control arms. Superior to spacers.
#2 Because it doesn't interfere with the warranty and because it's covered by warranty.
#3 It can be financed into the purchase of the vehicle.
I would recommend a hybrid lift.
For the front end, I prefer a 2" coil spring lift.
For the rear, since it's already higher then the front, you can use a 3/4" spacer.
I can confirm the ride is very close to stock, although a bit more "wobble" in steering and a bit more "correction" over...
That's not a Sport bumper. You don't have the wings between the bumper and fender that causes the tire obstruction. Even with a 2+" lift these will need to be removed. Of course, also a good excuse for a new bumper.

Here the BFG 317's on my JT Sport with a 2" front and .75" rear lift:
I put about 200 miles on the tires immediately after driving out of the shop. I am very impress with how quiet the tire is, does not drive anywhere near as aggressive as it looks. It's exactly what I was looking for. I...
I'm still working on the all the pre/post math, but, for sure, pre-lift rake was 1.5" rear to front delta, and the after-lift the rake is only 0.25" rear to front delta.
Here is the result

Some quick comments:
The synergy front coils were advertised at 2", but on a Rubicon, and the Teraflex rear spacers were advertised at .75", but I added Rubicon coils. I am working on the final calcs but I definitely got alot more lift then advertised...
After multiple weeks of planning, collecting parts, changing my mind, returning parts and ordering new parts, I am finally getting my lift installed. Here is the setup:
Front:
2" Lift Synergy Coil Spring w/ Synergy Isolators
Rubicon Express Shock Extensions
Mopar lower control arms...
I've had multiple dealers tell me the Mopar 2" lift is covered under factory warranty. I was also told that, even if a dealer doesn't install it, if you find one willing to work with you, they can add it to your build sheet as if they installed it. That said, I think this is about the only...
I just got the tires mounted and balanced, but not installed, as my lift goes on tomorrow. Unfortunately one tire took a lot of weight. I guess I will keep this one in the rear but a little disappointing for first rate tires.
