Running Artec aluminum tie rod and drag link, which use steer smarts rod ends, and a steering stabilizer relocation bolt and clamp from Synergy. Track bar is from Rock Krawler. Happy with that setup, the stock stabilizer is fine. The only things I might add would be hydro assist or the apex line...
I could measure hub to hoodline/top of bed later. I don’t have a reference measurement from before the lift. I was previously running JKS P/N JSPEC1352 (3.0” JT, HD) in the front and JSPEC1257 (1.5” JT) in the back. I saw the most lift in the rear, but it definitely picked the front up some too...
I’m local and picked up a set for all four corners. I expect that they will settle in a little bit. Also note that it might be sitting a bit higher in the front due to the driveway incline. I’ll report back once I have some more miles on them, but first impression is that these are great!
I was able to fit a 37” Nitto trail grappler by letting a bit of air out with the factory track bar, it only cleared by a hair though. I recently put in the Rock Krawler triangulated 4 link and did away with the track bar completely, I can also attest that it is a really nice setup.
I have mine setup through a SwitchPro 9100, and while I can’t set different timers for each circuit, I can set a timer to have all circuits cut out after a particular threshold (0-18000 seconds). Another option for folks who have one. It’s the “off delay switch” setting.
Was able to get out to the Mojave last weekend and did segment 3 of the East Mojave Heritage Trail. All I can say is that I’m totally in love with this setup. I was getting up to 65-70mph and still felt in total control. I was able to go through wash areas cross wise much faster than I could...
Yikes. The Artec rear lower control arms are 24-1/4" full collapsed. We're going to start with that and see if we can get the pinion into a good place. The stock measurement is 23-3/4", the Claytons you have go from 23-7/16" to 25-1/8".
I have the 25 spline bars in the front/rear with forged...

I decided to go with the @piroman683 setup with the 3.0 IBPs in the front and the 3.0 Raptor bypasses in the rear. The fronts were installed today. We had to get creative on how to mount the reservoirs. I have a Motobilt Tomahawk chop front bumper, and with the frame cut back you can’t put them...
I’d love to head out there but I’m going to big bear with the fam this weekend. My front end was finished up today, the rear should be done by Friday. I’m really eager to get out and do a shakedown run, might go out there the weekend after.
