35”x10.50”x17” Kenda Klevers, Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit and Daystar 3/4” rear spacers on.
Got her almost dead level and impressed with these Kenda’s so far.Very quiet and smooth riding and at 10.50” wide stay tucked inside the fenders without pelting the sides with road grime and rocks.

ARE cap and bedrug installed. Love them both so far, exactly what I was looking for!

Testing using a cargo tray to take the trash out since they won't fit in the bed now.

I am really tempted to get the cap...my Upper Decker is still not here and we are almost in to June...and I am having a hard time using something that I don't believe in. So I will probably sell the Upper Decker and RTT mounts to someone locally and get the Cap from ARE.

I am with you! I don't really WANT a cap because it makes it more similar to my Wranglers but.....the versatility would be super nice. Hauling dogs around and stuff like that. I am intrigued by the soft top cap Bestop makes....might be a good fit for my limited use. But I like the way yours looks Blackdog!

Have you all seen this custom rack that is structured over the Besttop bed cover? Pretty cool solution made by @gatekeeperoffroad for @russell_gladiator_crowe.

If ya don’t mind me asking, what’s the ballpark cost on one of these? I can’t find it on their site.

This looks fantastic! I'm hoping to add these same spacers to my JTR with 35s as well. How do you like it so far?

Only been a day but couldn’t be happier honestly. Absolutely no difference from stock as far as ride,handling or comfort.

Sweeeeet...can't wait to get those done!

With the truck leveled out, any thoughts on how quickly you'd get into a "squat"? I plan on having my rooftop tent (140lbs), a couple bikes on the hitch, and a cooler/water tank/camping gear in the back on certain trips and was a little worried that leveling it out too much might get me into squat mode too easily.

I might consider doing only the 1" for the teraflex in the front just to be safe :movember:

CN you post some pictures of your rig with the top closed? I've been trying to decide if I want that flip top, but I can't decide if I can deal with the red hardtop with black front.

I put all my new EVO Mfg. front suspension parts in the backseat of it for later install...

Ordered it on Saturday, it shipped on Tuesday, and arrived today... Hard to beat that!

Interesting - how long have you had this installed and how has it held up? I don't know much about the air lift stuff, would this result in any limitations when going offroad at all?

Also, cool video, thanks for documenting all that! Annnd awesome Jeep! :jk:
