Default 2012 OME Lift w/ 3.6l JKU

Anyone add a lift to the new 2012 w/ a 3.6l motor yet?

Any issues with exhaust or other hard item clearance issues?

I'm almost ready to go with the OME in my new JKU

Lost of members have lifted their 12's. You will need exhaust spacers. Other than that I believe it's no different than other jk's.

AFE makes a crossover pipe that will eliminate the exhaust to front driveline interference
Another place makes some spacers but with over 2-1/2" they don't work
From what I've been told

It costs more than the spacers, but def. gives you more clearance.

I ahve the TF spacers on my ezxhaust and it works fine. You don't have to pay the extra $ for the AFE

Just installed a 3.5 SuperFlex Rubicon Express on my 2012, I didn't do anything with the exhaust yet but will be checking it out.
I did have to do the front drive line. Pictures to follow...

I installed my OME HD kit about 2 weeks ago now and it drives great. No drive train issues or exhaust issues under normal driving. I am going to add exhaust spacers and a drive shaft in the near future.
