New to all this stuff.... Do you have a spare? If so, where the heck to you fit it?
No worries, I was new about 9 months ago as well.... The full size spare actually will fit underneath in the factory spare location. I keep it there for my day to day needs. When I go on trips and need that additional clearance I use the Rigd Swingout, https://www.rigdsupply.com/

Did you use the Rancho geometry correction brackets with the factory control arms or the slightly longer Mopar lift LCAs? What was your rational for either? Thanks in advance.
i used the Ranco GEO-RELO brackets with the provided LCA's in the Mopar kit. They are only 1/8" longer eye to eye than stock. I honestly dont know whey they even bother including them in the kit. Especially for the matter that the nomenclature states for the caster to be 4.5deg (+/-) 1deg after install... Ideal caster angle range for JT/JL platform is 5-7deg... My current configuration has me at 6.5deg caster.. its like driving a cloud on a set of rails. I absolutely love it.

Thanks for the response and feedback. I just gathered parts to do a similar frankenlift: 2" mopar, front and rear track bars, rancho geo correction brackets. Good to hear the positive results

This may be a dumb question and I hate to be that guy but when doing the mopar lift on a max tow did anyone keep the rear springs?

You mean actually keeping them on the truck? No the springs are what provides the lift. Otherwise you'll get the infamous "Carolina squat".

This past weekend I met a fellow forum member in the Texas hill country and had an absolute blast. The JT impressed the hell out of me with its abilities, even more so in a manual. To my surprise the JT completed some technical obstacles with less effort than the wrangler 4doors we were wheeling with. Here are a few videos to follow. I’m on 2”MOPAR + 3/4” dayStar spacers front and rear and 37” BFG KO2’s on stock wheels at 12psi. Thanks @BLK HOLE
