It’s a hair undersized for this application. I couldn’t pass it up do to the price. I’ve used it a few times but not for recovery purposes. It does what I need it to do.
Picked up some used Inspired Engineering pod lights for my front bumper. I was able to run the wiring through the Quadratec QRC bumpers hoop. It’s worked out pretty nicely. I have a Rough Country MLC on order for future plans.
Swapped out the factory grille for a Mopar satin black grille and white surrounds to match. I think it came out great! I was nervous about the winch being in the way but it had just enough room. I put some cardboard between to stop any scratches.

If you just want a small bump, I believe Daystar sells a 3/4" Front/Rear Spacer kit. There is also the...
I’m in the same boat. My max tow will be 2 years old in July with 15k on it. Has a few mods like yours. I ordered it exactly how I wanted it. However it’s hard to ignore these trade in values. A local dealer has a nacho Mojave that I keep looking at. I’m not really sure if trading it in is the...

Sport S, Max Tow.
1.5” Teraflex spacers on Mojave coils in the front and .75” Daystar spacers on stock coils in the rear. 315/70r17s on Jl Rubicon wheels.
I really like my Rockhard4x4 angled down sliders. They don’t stick out too far but still work great as a step. My wife and kid use them all the time. Plus they are built very solid
