I think he used the 1.5" Teraflex spacers in the front and the 3/4" Daystar spacers in the rear.
Have the Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit up front and Daystar 3/4” spacers for the rear only. When I have weight in the bed it sort of maintains the level front to rear if that makes sense.

Thanks guys. Apparently I have a deficit for reading comprehension, as you clearly stated that above. :facepalm:

The Sunrider is surprisingly quiet even at 70mph. Only slightly more noisy than the full hardtop with Freedom Panels.
Had soft tops on my last 2 JK’s and much noisier than the Sunrider on the JT for sure. I would love an after market version of the soft top less the man bun though.
That setup is really good looking. Everyone keeps going 12.50s but the 10.50s on 35s look really good! Just when I think I have a new tire figured out I see this!!!! I like the tuck looked so I might have to go the same route.

Nuts, was hoping you had a solution I wasn’t aware of.

I’ve done something similar with rope & pulleys and two side loops to the link in your post, but it’s a bit unstable and keeping both sides in sync was challenging both up and down. I have chains on each corner that safely / “permanently “ hold the platform up until I want to lower it. I’m now trying to create something with cable on all four corners to a ring, then to a wall mounted electric or hand winch. Harbor Freight winch is on sale for $79 right now. I really like this storage idea so that freedom tops and other Jeep items are safely stored up out of the way. Not sure when I’m actually going to try this new idea. My top is safely stored fir now.

here is a video a guy posted on YouTube that is very similar to what we are trying to do. It’s 33 minutes long so you can fast forward through the platform build till he gets to his cable system. This is what I was thinking, cable to all four corners to a central point, but was having trouble getting enough cable distance to reach floor and get to ceiling. His “reversal“ pulleys for two of the corners, solved my concern. His system is a bit overkill, but great. This system would also work with a manual winch.

Awesome! Thanks for Sharing!

I'll have to spend some time studying it to get mine set up. I like overkill.... I am currently parking my Z4 under the suspended platform.

Added a lot of cheap but functional things today (totally under $400):
Tyger cover, Curt hitch receiver, cheap bike rack (that actually seems really solid though, I’m impressed. An anti wobbling plate and screw are provided, we’ll see how it does on the road), and some protection on the entry sills.

Pixel decal came in today. I think I’ve accomplished the goal of breaking up all the red:

My son helped me plastidip the “Jeep” badges today, as soon as they were done, I realized we needed to do the locks...now that I’ve seen yours- OMG I LOVE the look of the black hinge covers!!

That seems like buying the lift system and adding a ton of money to it...
