Working on getting everything finished up today. Wow! What a pain in the ass the Rock Krawler arms are to get adjusted and torqued tight enough!
Made an appt with a local shop to get my wheels and tires put together so I'm just gonna drive it over when it's all set to go and have them throw it on the rack and double check everything. And torque those jam nuts for me. I do not have a good set up for that. Definitely need a vice! Or a lift!

Do the hardware store pipe thing that Mr.Ty and USMC Wrangler did. I think they've both had positive experiences with a 35 on the OEM carrier with that mod.

I went all poison spyder stuff on my jk but thinking about other options for jku. Ps stuff is too heavy for a dd. Don't wanna spend the dough on aluminum stuff. Any suggestions?

I don't see a re-gear in your thread. How is the 3.21 with 35s?

I thought the 16 Sahara would have a 3.73 ratio?
Anyway, also curious how they are. Is it a manual or automatic?
It looks great so far!

I believe only the rear has 3.73 if you get the tow package. At least that's the case with my '14

It has the max tow package. So it has 3.73's. Haven't wheeled it but it drives well. It is automatic.

My 2 door has 3.21's. I have never had an issue but that one is manual.

It rides like a lifted jeep with 35's. It's not at all a bad ride, don't get me wrong. In fact I expected worse. So it is better than my 2 door. My two door is running 3.5" teraflex lift with bilsteins. But I wheeled that jeep pretty hard. It's a wanderer. Lol.
The RK shocks seem pretty robust to me. They look good. It hasn't been wheeled yet. It's my wife's mall crawler. The ride is naturally a bit more rigid than stock but hey it's a jeep. It looks good! Lol. I have to assume it will do well off road when it gets there.
