I fabricated a rear bump stop extension, nothing too fancy. And I used a shock relocation from Rustys off road.
I did a little write up a while back here
Go to post #7 to see the rear bump stop extensions.
The 3 blue jeeps. From left to right. 2020 Ocean Blue JLUR... supercharged. 2020 Hydro Blue JTR. 2019 Bikini Blue JLUR. All with 2.5" of lift and 35's. Its amazing how much the Hydro and Bikini look like the same color
Tires have all arrived. I mounted and balanced them myself and I'm absolutely loving 35"s with a 2" lift. The Patagonias balanced up very well, only needing as much as 3oz to balance. That's incredible for a 35" MT.
I also did a 0-60 run with my Tazer JL mini to get some before and after...
On amazon back in June. They were sitting in my saved portion of my cart and I got a notification the price had dropped. The next day they were back up to the normal price. The tires took about two weeks to ship out and the ones they sent were 265/70R17s, lol. (31s). I contacted amazon and they...
There is obvious and overwhelming praise for the Pategonias on youtube from all the big streamers. So when they went on sale for $160/each, I jumped on it. I want to try them out for myself.
315/70R17 on the upgraded Gladiator Wheels.
Thanks. They are VERY solid. I use them as a step to clean the roof, but as far as an actual step to get in the truck, they are a little too tucked in to be of much use.
I installed Metalcloak upper control arms today to adjust the caster. Wow, it's a different truck. I set the arms for about 5.5-6 degrees. The truck doesn't follow the crown of the road, she ignores crosswinds, and the slight flutter or shimmy after hitting a bump is gone (I always assumed this...
I purchased some recovery boards off Amazon. These came recommended from a few youtube guys, so I thought I would give them a try.
X-Bull recovery Board
I wanted to mount them to my JCR half rack, so I fabricated up some mounts.
First, I welded a bolt to some scrap steel
I couldn't find any...
Honestly, It drove just like stock. It does have a Metalcloak front track bar that tightened things up slightly, but still comfortable at 80 mph. The full MC control arm set is coming as a future upgrade.
From previous experience on my JL's: I drove one with a 2.5" RC lift to pick up a stock...
