Mopar lift is in. No more bottoming out. The ride is substantially the same; a bit stiffer.

I did add a 1/2” spacer up front. The rake is about 3/4”. If I stand on the front bumper, it drops 1/2”. I weigh more than a winch + winch plate.

Tire:35”
It looks like the front is higher, it’s not.

Evo MFG 4.5" diesel specific springs. Overall, it rides WAY better than stock. Less bouncing, better handling, smoother ride. Delightful on the highway. I'm thrilled with it.

Factory steel bumper and Warn 12k winch on the front. No spacers yet.

I just ordered the 2.5” lift. Did you get the lower control arm drop brackets which are supposed to improve the geometry?

Just ordered a set of 4 BFG KO2s in 315/70R17 for $285/ea mounted and balanced... Pretty happy with that price.

Now, I've got the itch for the lift... Think I'm going to go with Mopar 2", buy adjustable trackbars, and see if I need them or not.

All that I can show is a teaser picture for now. I went with the EVO diesel 2.5” kit and just finished installing the rear setup. The front springs arrive on Monday so I’ll get it finished then. I’ll roll on a set of 37x12.5x17 Toyo RTs mounted on a set of Warn Moonsault wheels. Tomorrow the tires get mounted. I am using a set of Fox 2.0 shocks

Since I don’t have the higher Rubicon fenders I chose to install a 3/4” rear spacer and will install a 1” front spacer to compensate for the steel bumper and winch. The rear is 3 1/2” higher now. I’m hoping for about a 1/4” rake. More pictures to follow.

Looks like you need to add some length to that track bar setting, the springs are leaning to the driver.

Likely. Just got it settled in and making some adjustments. Evo sent the wrong rear trackbar relocation bracket, so waiting to get that in as well.
