Ran them around 20psi that day. Hindsight is 20/20, they probably would have performed even better if I was aired down more.

I bought mine from northridge 4x4 during their black friday sale.

I am running the same size on a 9" wide rim, at 25 PSI I'm still not using the full contact patch. Right now I am around 22-23 psi but still need to do the chalk test to verify. I'm more of the Southeast - GA specifically. So far I have been very happy with the road manners and how quiet...

Took the Jeep out to Durhamtown Offroad Resort in Union Point, GA to see how well the Jeep would perform and to find any limitations with the current setup. For not having lockers it performed way better than I had thought it would. I think a winch may end up being the next upgrade.

Got the lift installed this past weekend.

I was able to take advantage of some sales this past weekend and got some parts on order to start building up my new JLU. Went with the Metalcloak 3.5" Game-Changer RockSport edition. Here is a teaser until all of the parts arrive. I'll continue to update this thread as the build progresses...

That is awesome that Toyota stepped up to the plate and will be giving that guy a new truck.

Yes, you'll need to flex the front end so that the passenger tire is stuffed in the wheel well and then check your clearances.

The consensus is not so much related to lift height but how much axle droop you are able to achieve. The problem is the front driveshaft will contact the exhaust & crossmember at full droop. The Rzeppa joint also has its own set of limitations when it comes to flex.

You could use a winch plate to mount a winch but I don't think the factory bumper with fog lights allows for much room. I think that's why most of the kits you see toss the winch on top of the bumper. I ended up going with a bumper from VKS when I mounted my winch. I had to trim some of the...

Here is my trackbar weld. Surprisingly one of the better welds on the frame for my Jeep meeting all recall criteria.

Yes, this is on all JL's.

There will be less strain on the driveline if you have selectable lockers and only lock when you need to. Turning radius could also benefit which will help out on tight trails.
