Can't speak for the shocks as I elected to go with Falcon, but everything else showed up today.

Just the 2.1 monotubes. Ordered them a while back when Teraflex was having their black Friday sale and they were all they was out at the time. 3.3s just came out I believe, but I don't think I would have gone that direction either way seeing price difference and I doubt I'd really use the reservoir and adjustability enough to justify the difference.

3.5” kits are no longer in pre-order status in MC’s website. Still waiting on their 2.5 kit. Not sure how their leveling kit works as my Rubicon’s front end is only 1.5” lower

I too am holding out for the 2.5" kit as I'll likely only go with 35" tires and want to keep my CG as low as possible for the style of driving/offroad I'm looking to do (as my thinking goes today, anyway).

For those of you installing the MC lift - would love to see before/after measurements (particularly on Rubicons but any data is good) to see actual lift and level results on the Game Changer setups if you think to do it. Looking forward to seeing your new MC builds!

3.5" Gamechanger adds just about 3.5" in my experience: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...echanger-3-5-and-much-more.26566/#post-429480

A little tricky when adding wheels at same time but thanks for the feedback!
Add 3.5" for lift + (½ the actual new tire diameter - 1/2 the previous actual tire diameter) = height increase

Oh I get the math! Thx. I just meant tricky to know actual lift when changing two things at once. Still have to guess at tire height change (with vehicle weight on them) unless they were swapped and measured as a separate step.

3.5 Gamechanger ordered. Was really trying to wait for Teraflex because not sure how all that gold is going to look with a silver truck but tired of waiting on Teraflex. Also ordered the 3.3 Falcons. Been waiting since April and glad to be moving forward.

this is the same lift plan as mine... I wish I can order mine now... ugh. Soon I will. But definitely awesome your gonna be lifted soon!!!

I’ve seen a lot of guys that paint or get the MC stuff powder coated. The gold zinc is there so it doesn’t rust.

I just ordered the the 3.5” game changer. Went with Fox shocks, going to paint the control arms and other parts white to match my JT.

I've got mine on order. I went with Fox shocks instead of the 6pak. Those 6paks are going to flex pretty well! I'm curious to see how the rear will do with the short upper control arms on the JT.

The metal cloak bushings should allow some give at least!
