2" Ironrock lift ($250) with 35's

Then I upped the ante and bought 37's. Kinda liked the 35's look a little

better

Rubicon, 2” AEV lift, Nitto Trail Grappler 35X11.50.
I find that it looks as it should have from factory with the lift.

Man, that camper shell, safari rack and bikini top are spot on with that color.

Thanks! I think it looks pretty good, but I might be biased.

just curious, do you're wheels rub when your disconnected from lock to lock? Thanks

I have run a couple moderate trails, driving over stumps and rocks. Disconnected. I did not notice rub or see any signs of it in fenders or parts in there. If it does rub, it is mild. I have not had the opportunity or even tried a full flex, so I don't know if it would rub then.

Its always funny when I am driving with my wife and we pass other lifted Jeeps and trucks. She always comments how she doesn't think the vehicles look good lifted so high above the tires. I told her well normally people do it cause they need the clearance when climbing rocks and things. She looks at me and says well 99% of these people in Houston and surrounding are not climbing anything (LOL).

Not to thread jack, but how much lift does the Mopar 2" provide?

Is it 2" in the front of a Rubicon, or 3" for a Sport? Or is it 2" for a Sport and 1" for a Rubicon?

What about the rear? Does it lift the rear by 2" equally, less, or even more?

Really was part of my question, I just didn't ask as clearly as you.

I read an older post last night and saw for Sport suspension you will gain around 3" of lift, with a bit more in the front to help level the truck. A Rubicon gains around 2".

For my 2020 JTR, 3.6/AT, Hardtop, Max Tow, Steel Bumper, the Mopar lift 77072468AC gave me 2½" at the left front, 2¼" at the right front, 2" at the left rear and 2¼" at right rear. My front axle shifted ⅝“ over to the driver's side. I did not measure the shift of the rear axle, but it's minimal. Hope that helps.

I really like 275 75 17. I ran them on my Recon. They look like 35’s being an inch bigger than stock (34 really) but even in E rating - 10 ply 3 sidewall, they are only 60 lbs vs 70-75 lbs for 35s.

I ran the toyo MTs on the recon but am putting on the at3 275 75 17 on my new JT with the 2” molar lift.
