Looks good I just got a white sport too. How much did the dealer charge for power locks ? I am fine with the windows but the locks would be a necessity. Also was thinking of the same adding Take-off Rubicon lift with spacers. How does it ride ? Thanks

It rides fun but I didn’t get much “lift” out of the Rubicon suspension, maybe 1/2”.

I did the $99 rough country leveling spacer kit today. It looks nice and kept factory ride. Hardware was crappy and one bolt with nut was wrong for the bump stop spacer. However for the price it takes care of the need for now. I live in FL so not rock crawling here, previously lived in Colorado so I do know the difference and what a Jeep will do
