Teraflex 1.5 leveling kit in the front
It’s more of a play on words, since it’s not actually a “lift” 😉
Looks good to me. I leveled mine. Going to do a similar thing.

I was just browsing through this thread and am now wondering… am I a Philistine?

I thought my 1.5” leveling in the front and .75” in the back was enough to put me in the lifted category, but I see others on here have added pucks to theirs. I did add 35s too, but they fit stock so.. maybe?!

Side note, Goliath was a philistine.

I don’t know the “rules” but I made the assumption that level kits were not a lift.

Installed Rubicon front Springs and 4 fox shocks. Major improvement off road. The stock sport springs are so soft a lot of up travel is already used up in the static sag.

Anyways for this thread, is this the equivalent of "it's just the tip"?

Just loop "low rider" on your sound system and you'll be fine.

Mojave rims and tires will be on my Sport S, in my very near future (in just under two weeks). No lift in my future.

Without going through this entire thread I'm sure it's been covered, but as "customizable" as Jeeps are, they're insanely capable bone stock.

Smartest thing I did with my '17 JKUR was drive it bone stock for a full year before doing anything to it. The only issue I ever had was smacking a skid plate and the rear bumper tow hook while on the Broken Arrow trail in Sedona, which was hardly a cause for concern. 35 KO2s and a 2.5-inch AEV lift later and there was nothing my JK couldn't do where I was taking it, which was typically did NOT include malls.

It's YOUR Jeep and leaving it stock doesn't make anyone any less of a Jeeper...
