For those of you who've been wanting to see more pics of what JET Li looks like now that he's standing on an EVO 2.5" Boost Stage 4 Lift Kit and wearing a set of 37x13.50 Cooper STT Pros mounted on KMC XD231's, the following pics are meant for you. So that it isn't missed, we did install the optional 8 EVO adjustable control arms as opposed to running their drop brackets and for now, we are running their shock extensions. Anyway, here are a few shots of what our Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited looks like all grown up - I hope you enjoy. :cool:

First up, some all around shots of JET Li.

Here's a shot of the front way down low.

And now, a few shots of the lift kit installed starting off with a view of the passenger side front so that you can see the coil spacer and bump stop extension.

Shot of the same thing only on the driver side.
20180313111335-376982af.jpg


Here you can get a better view of the shock relocation bracket installed.

This shot shows off the adjustable upper and lower EVO control arms.

This is the front brake line relocation bracket.

Here's a shot of the rear adjustable EVO lower and upper control arms.

Finally, here's a view of the shock relocation bracket.

And there you have it - the first all around pics of JET Li right after getting his EVO 2.5" Boost Stage 4 Lift Kit and new shoes installed. I hope you like what you see.

That looks wicked! I love the stance. Do you think you’ll have any rubbing at full flex. Maybe it’s the angle of the picture but the front tire looks pretty close to the rock rail. I hope there are no issues. I have a similar setup ordered. Waiting on satin black xd231’s.

Surprisingly, there is ZERO rubbing at a full turn left or right. I have done some flex testing and will be posting up what we found on that shortly but what I can tell you is that up front, we don't have any issues or at least, ones that are of a concern anyway.

So let me make sure I have this straight. You have 37x13.50R17 tires, 17x8.5 wheels with 4.75" of back spacing, and just 2.5” of lift, right? And no rubbing at full lock! And stuffing the wheels will likely be OK?! This is very good news. Makes me think the same setup with the 2” Mopar lift will be OK, too.

Good to know. I appreciate your work and your amazing documentation. Great job!

Thanks! Glad to be of help :)

No rubbing at a full lock. Up front, I have very minor rubbing at a full stuff and partial turn. In the rear, we had LOTS of rubbing that needed to be addressed. I highly doubt you could run 37x13.50's with the Mopar 2" lift or at least, not without A LOT of rubbing.

I've got a bunch of pics that show all the problem spots and I hope to get them up soon.

I like it. Good coverage, been waiting to see these. Did you get to test it out while you were on race support?

Edit: I was a little slow on this page. Looking forward to the other pictures.

I need one, not want, need :doh:

Looks so great! I have some serious Jeep envy at the moment!!

Nah. Didn't want to drive it all the way down to Vegas and back without giving it a thorough once over.

We installed all 8 adjustable control arms so caster and pinion are find. Drag link and track bar were not moved so they're still parallel to each other.

Dang.. that side shot tho.
Jeep did a good job this go round. Surely they built the Rubi for 37s. It’s easy to see they put a lot of work in. I’ve been very impressed with what I’ve seen so far.
Your rig looks great and is coming along nicely 👍

Thanks! Jeep really did knock it out of the park with the JL :yup:

Damn that looks awesome!

Looks better than it did the first time you installed it. ;)

:doh: OUCH - that hurt :crazyeyes:
