Got the fronts done today! Thankfully didn't have to drop the drive shaft on my '13 JKUR. Did pull the tires, wanted to check torque on my spacers anyway. Love the look with my new 33s!

can you guys post before and after pics of your JKs with the tf 1.5" leveling kit.

I think this is going to be my approach.

What tires and wheels did you get?

Do you need to add tire pressure sensor to the new wheels?

JKUR After
Leveling Kit, Duratrac 285/70-17s, ~32 psi, stock wheels (w/TPMS) with spacers. Also added Flashpaq to correct tire size and change tune.
Loving this setup! Rides great. Same MPG as before.

Can you measure your tires from the ground to the top of the tire?

They're all right at 32" and have 31.5-32 PSI each.

I guess it would take me 2 hrs to install a lift like mine now....if that. After that, loosen all track bar and control arm bolts, rock back and forth and then retorque. DONE. Easier than going to the store and buying a 12 pak. Front links were just an unbutton and rebutton affair. easy peasy.
That is exactly what I did on my TJ and JK. Work smarter not harder.

I did the same thing when I put mine on. The shop I bought the kit from said if you can lift it high enough it takes 1 hr. AND THEY WANTED $250
