I'm running a 3" with flats and 37" no issues. A good 3" kit will likely net you 4", mine did. 35" looked small in there.

Customers will also need to purchase parts # 55156728AB from Mopar, which is the earlier model windshield washer nozzle."

X2. Did the same thing. 9000 miles on the 35's and then 37's. You will want 37's and with that lift you will be fine. Definitely will need a new front driveshaft at some point.

You will need a new front DS for sure with that much lift.

Also, I think on the 2013s you have to specify 4.10s or it will come with 3.73 on the Rubis.

I think it was like an 85$ option.

Haha yeah it's going off road but I am going to try and maintain the integrity of my fenders due to me adding the AEV front bumper.

I'm just not a big fan of the flat fenders. They look cool but would look like hammered dog shit with the aev full width bumper.
