For those that have a rubicon, I’m curious what have you done to modify your suspension. I’m looking to run 37s and maintain on road manners seems a shame to replace the fox shocks but I’m willing to do it to have a solid lift and 37s.

I’d rather my truck not look like I’m trying to squeeze massive tires under the wheel arches.

thanks

You can do a budget boost if you want to keep the same ride or save money. It’s not a substitute for a proper lift in the long run in many cases though. I started with the Daystar 2” lift ($300), and have been upgrading a piece at a time.

Same thoughts I had. So I went with the Skyjacker G250MSB lift... Keeps everything stock, but adds 2.5” to the front, and 1” to the rear.

I’ll be running 37x13.50r20’s when they come in from shipping next week.

For now, here’s some pics of stock vs Skyjacker lift...

When you get them in I’d love to hear what you think about the ride and see some pictures after they are installed.

Sure will. Tires & Wheels will be in Monday, but won't know if I'm working until 6am that morning. If it's raining this week, like it shows, I probably will go Mon or Tuesday if we're not working.

My Fab Fours winch bumper comes in Wednesday, and I'll be installing that probably next weekend, unless it's raining, then I'll see if I can use my buddy's covered carport to install it and my winch out of the rain, sometime during the week.

Loving the ride so far. The E-rated tires are slightly rougher than stock, but it still rides like a Cadillac compared to many trucks I’ve owned. :like:

Here’s some updated pics...
