Finally got the sag sorted . Friend of a friend nearby helped .

Shortened rear upper and lower control arms to evo spec (17-1/2 and 19-3/4) . RUs were an inch too long and RLs were 3/4” too long . 2” spacers on both sides in the back but took out stock spacer on driver to level out lean. Sits flush now . Added rough country coil wedges while was in there.

Springs look better. So you're running with no stock spring isolator driver side?

Caught the Bug
IMG_2870.jpg

License plate holder was flapping around . Broke all the clips wheeling when bumper was coming up on hits . Removed it to find this passenger side corner damage. Annoying

IMG_2872.jpg

Relocated license plate and mounted camera to light bracket . Touch up paint and clear coat . Ordered a license plate delete plate . Between this and the tailgate dent, my back passenger is all jacked up

As Tony Ellsworth said to me when I messaged them about damaging my rear chainstay on my mountain bike.

"Now it's imperfect like all of us. The damage is no cause for structural weakness. No need to replace (in your case pay to fix it) the part. Ride (drive) it with the memory of what happened and save your money for something else" More mods...haha.

Yah that’s definitely the plan .. saving up but the next mods (brakes, cage, sliders) are all pricey. Gonna have to see how she does on the rubicon as is :)

Nope lean was not fixed . Has leaned since I got it . Light lean with no lift, lean with terror flex 2.5 inch, lean with 3” evo coils with over extended control arms and bowed coils and still lean now . 1/2” more spacer on passenger rear . I give up . Wheels fine

I have an extra 3/4” rear coil spacer if you want it. I bought a pack of two and only used one.

Thanks . I’m just not sure whether I should keep adding spacers or increase coil length . Right now 3” enforcer coils all around . Fronts have 1/2” spacers, back has 2” spacers and back right has the oem 1/2” isolator too . Feels like rig should have between 3.5 and 5” or lift but sagging . Feels like i should go to a progressive coil spring in the back but idk ..

Something’s not right there. The evo coils will sag a bit but not that much. Might have a bad coil.

Yah it’s possible one of the two rear coils are fatigued from being bowed for so long under previous configuration . Hard to diagnose because takes a bit to settle when you switch something up . thinking about a pair of 4” rear coils and removing the 3s and spacers

It wasn’t that bad and not for long. I doubt you damaged it. I’m saying it could be bad from the factory. They shouldn’t sag that much.

Cut about 2 inches off the rubicon rail in the rear wheel well. Should prevent any rubbing

Remounted rear camera and installed LP delete piece.

Washed and waxed while I was at it. Did my DD too!!

Had a great time on the Rubicon trip with other WALers . Really enjoyed the camping at Buck Island and Rubicon Springs . Will def be back

Got through with minimal issues . Few new dents on the rear bumper, an ABS light on that I need to diagnose, and a ding on passenger rear fender ... easy fixes

Keep wanting to upgrade but the cheap barricade sliders are holding up fine . Quadratec aluminum skid plates took a bunch of hits and are holding strong . Plus Is the exhaust rattle is gone .. think it pushed up further like Jerry said 🤪Think am in the market for an ARB fridge after seeing others in action

Spent weekend on maintenance . 5 tire rotation, car wash, oil change, rustoleum on bumpers and sliders, and fender repair .
