[RBGP]

JTR eco Diesel looking for 3 maybe 4 inches of lift and 37s. Makeing room for 40s down the road.


Does anyone have this kit installed yet?

All lift options are open, but I’d really like something that not only articulates well, but has better than stock ride.

I think no matter where you buy, King coil-overs are several months out.

If that's what you're interested in, afraid you're going to have to wait.

I have the Rock Krawler 4.5” Pro-X No Limits kit and once I dialed in the caster it rides like stock on 37 MTs as a daily driver. I should note I do not have the coilovers I just have the RK shocks and I don’t think I’ll be disappointed by the articulation but the first trail ride since installation is coming up in a couple weeks.

Buy once cry once. If you've done the research and you trust your results, the wait is worth it. Unless you really want to buy an intermediary system that you have to sell for pennies on the dollar a year from now.

It said 38 weeks for King shocks. That's 9.5 months.

The more I look into this lift, it seems great. I’ll probably throw on the mopar lift to get me through the 10 month wait.

Sounds like buying twice crying twice, but if you've got the money and no better place else to spend it have your fun

I messaged them as to seeing what options they have for the in between time. I hate to “buy twice” but this truck needs a lift asap!

I remember when I got my first tattoo. It was a little fun, a little scary. Then as soon as my first one was done and the fear was gone my mind starting going absolutely wild with ideas. Back piece with a wrap over the collar bone onto my chest, half sleeve, calf tat, who could remember what else. I must have had a few grand in ideas all planned out (in 2006 prices). My buddy who introduced me to the guy who did my first tattoo gave me a great piece of advice: "wait a year before you get your second one, then get whatever you want. You're making permanent decisions, there has to be more excitement to it than getting it right away"

That was almost 16 years ago. I still don't have a second tattoo (maybe some day?)

Then I bought a Jeep. It was tricky deciding what I wanted to buy for the Jeep first, but once I did, the flood gates openned in my mind. Tonneau, mirrors, 37s, AEV 2" mojave spacers, Method 703s , 4.88s, armorlite, katzkin, stubby bumper and winch, stealth lightbar, bed tent, airbedz, window control module, tazer, pedal monster, cat-back.

Then i remembered the tattoo advice. If it's only exciting if I get it this very moment, then it's not really that exciting, i'm just getting caught up on the momentum. I'm still doing 35s on steelies (kenda $80 specials in my basement!), tonneau (on my current gladiator, will transfer to new one) armorlite, katzkin, tazer, and i'm most likely chopping my middle muffler out. But i don't really need a new bumper or a winch or a lightbar. I don't need to deal with the lift and regear that come with 37s. The pedal monster is unecessary for the way i drive. The airbedz and bed tent are cool ideas, but maybe let's wait til my son is old enough to go camping with me before I start buying stuff for us to camp together.

So my advice to you is: Nothing worth doing needs to be done ASAP. If the process if waiting dulls your excitement, then you excitement was over the idea of the thing, not the thing.
