How big of a difference did it make?

How big of a difference did it make?

Only drive about 30min home from the shop, but so far? Game changer. The exhaust is WAY quieter at cruise now too on account of reduced engine load. Best way i can describe it is that the truck feels lighter. That easy acceleration is back.

Doing my normal commute tomorrow. I wont be looking at mpg until after the break in is done, but will have a better sense of the drive tomorrow.

That's a really good way of explaining it! I feel like when I put my 37s on 4.10s the truck just seems heavy and drives hard where as stock it seemed more effortless. Let us know how things go tomorrow.

Could you share some pictures of your ride on even ground?
Getting the same lift with 35s on my overland in a couple of weeks and would like to see the stance.
Thanks in advance!

I can take some tomorrow for ya. Some how managed to break the Teraflex track bar today. So I took a car from the lot home.

Just a decal... but I like it. A script “Willys” decal on the dash of my jt Willys.

Added KC Slimlites on some Motobilt brackets.

Sky Soldier - looking at the same set-up. What mounting plate did you use? Thanks.

drive in this morning was great. Held speed on the interstate really well, even without the 91oct tune loaded. I left it on 87 to get a better idea of how it would be for people who are untuned.

Added some Rokblokz:

Install was not fun. Pictures were not great and getting the screws to thread in was a real pia. Infact I still only have 5 of 6 thumb screws in after over an hour of attempts.

I do like how they have the cut out for Rubicon rock rails.

I think these pictures would have helped my install:

Finally completed my build...

Installed the 2” mopar lift, added terraflex 1.5” front spacers and daystar 0.75” spacers on the rear for 3.5”/2.75” of lift. Also added the ram airlift airbags to the rear for when the RTT is on and the bed full of overlanding gear.

what roof rack is that?

Finally got it lined. Took 5 hours, save $20 and pay cash if you can. Have to keep tailgate down for 24 hours too.

I think that's only if you get the UV protection. I didn't get UV and my tailgate was up when I picked it up. They said that it was not an issue.
