Just got my Rubi from the dealer (waiting on them to install lift/tires). Took a pic, but it was dark out and kinda crappy, so I will post more after I get some daylight pics.

That looks great. How do you like the Mud Grapplers? I heard they are pretty noisy. Are they?

pulman01

Taking into account that they are new, and might change when they wear a little, I have been pleasantly surprised at the noise level. With the windows up and the soft top, going down the interstate at 70, it was just noticable with the radio playing. My MTR's were louder to me on my TJ, but they were fairly worn. It might also have something to do with how they spray the tub/etc to decrease noise vs the way they use?????

Looks like the M-Force

How do you like the ride quality??

Any chance you can get pic of the rear pinion? I'd like to see how it compares to mine.

pulman01

Good eye. They great, honestly think better than the ride I had my stock TJ. I will crawl under there in the am and get you some good shots.

Did the dealer have any problem installing an aftermarket lift? Did you buy it through the dealer as well, or just brought it to them to install?

I'm buying my JK in a month or two, and I'm interested to know if I'll have to go to a third party, or if dealers are usually willing to do this kind of stuff...Thx!

I would love to know what length all the control arms are adjusted to, (center of bolt to center of bolt). I will be doing my control arms soon and it always helps to have a starting point. Piginajeep, I would be curious of your control arm measurements too. That would also be good for you two to compare also, for the pinion angle.

Get to work boys! It's fun to lay under the Jeep anyway, especially if you live in Florida. It might be a little cold under there in Ohio though.

Thanks guys, hope it's not too much trouble.

hmmm.... never done that under the jeep. I guess i need to move up the lift schedule.


Oh, and yeah, the measurements would be good to have too!
