[Nocandoozy]

The next mods on the seemingly never ending list are.. Re-gear scheduled for next week and possibly deleting the rear inner fender.

Love the white accents on the wheels with the tire markings, matches the main white color perfectly. Really nice looking truck!

Thank you! I ended up switching the tires around so the white was no longer showing. It gets dirty extremely fast and I have zero interest in cleaning tires so the white shows again.

The Mopar beadlock issue is a big problem for me. I just installed a set and was planning on doing the same lift.

JT's look so good with a 3.5" and 37's

Take one off and measure the backspacing. I sold mine within 6 hours on Facebook marketplace. They will not work with the MC lift.

One more question if I may. How is the ride with the dual rate and rocksports vs stock?

It’s not bad surprisingly for being on the mid tier end of the spectrum. It certainly isn’t as soft as the stock fox shocks. But those shocks were too soft imo, and led to bottoming out fairly easily with enough speed.

if the Fox shocks are a “100” on the scale of softness, the Rocksports are a 70-80. Daily driving of course.

off road I’m not sure. I air down to 8ish psi normally so everything feels like a cushion.

Thanks for your input. Nothing like real world experience.

Of course! That’s why I started this thread.
I have no prior experience with Jeeps so a lot of this is trial and error for me. Hopefully this build thread helps someone at some point not make the same mistakes I have.
