Skyjacker G250MSB

Thanks man. If I didn't have a 75 lbs. steel bumper and a 100+ lbs. winch with a steel cable on the front, that adds about an extra 1" to 1.5" of front sag, it wouldn't be as level as it is, being that I have a Rubicon. The Rubicon's high-clearance front fenders sit about 1.5" higher than the other models. So it makes it have an optical illusion that makes it look like it's sitting high in the front, but if you look at the rock rails while sitting on flat level ground, it DOES actually have some positive rake (rear sits slightly higher than the front) by probably a good 1/2" to 1" or so. I haven't hooked anything that weighs 5000 lbs. behind it, but you should be ok, if I had to guess...

Here it is sitting on flat ground (it's a runway we just paved back at the beginning of the year, and nothing has landed on it yet), so this is about the most level ground you're going to find anywhere...

Awesome....thanks for the detailed info! Did you have any issues with the axle shifting any? I'm not going to be doing in hardcore wheelin just the occasional mild trail stuff and want to keep it as close to factory as I can since it is my daily driver as well. I'm on the fence with this kit or just adding the tera flex 1.5" spacer up front and calling it a day.

It's only a 1" spacer in the rear, so it's fine. But the front does need an adjustable track bar to bring it back to center. It's probably about 5/8" to 3/4" shifted towards the driver's side.

I went with the Evo Manufacturing adj. front track bar. Evo is some of the largest diameter, and strongest (heaviest duty) stuff on the market. It's not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Got my 35s on. Lift is riding smooth and it looks great in my mind.

Thanks for this. I’m going with the same setup, and this is the only thread I could find about this lift!

I installed this kit today. Not sure if it’s just me but I did not receive a little wrench for the bump stops like other kits come with (I.e. TeraFlex) it was such a PIA to get the passenger side bump stop threaded with a normal wrench. It took me almost an hour to get that damn thing to thread.
