I thought the ride quality of the RC was better compared to stock but the Mopar is leaps and bounds better in regards to ride quality and less noisy. I did some before/after measurements with the 2" Mopar (Sorry, no before/after measurements of the RC).

I measured the front/rear parallel with the center of the wheel up to the bottom of the fender. Front Before=35 1/2".....After=40 1/2". Rear Before=35 3/4".....After 40 1/2". Step in height lip went from 22 3/4" to 26 3/4".

Also added 1.5" Rough Country wheel spacers and Morryde tire carrier. I used 1.5" RC spacers on my previous Wrangler for over 50K miles without a single issue and the price this time around cannot be beat.

I'm only on day 2 with the lift but am extremely happy with it. I got WAY more lift/clearance then I thought I would just based off of previous posts and pictures.Attachment 649805Attachment 649800Attachment 649801Attachment 649802Attachment 649803Attachment 649804

The reason I ask is because most others with this lift are reporting about 3in lift in the front and 2.5in for the rear. You're at 5" in the front and 4 3/4in in the rear. So I'm speculating you included the new tires in the measurement, thus the reason you're 2in higher than everyone else. So you provided a Lift + new Tires measurement?

I don't plan on adding anything else except maybe 4.88 gears but that's way down the road. I assume it will settle a bit....hopefully not too much because I like where it's at right now!

It sounds like we'll be similar paths of upgrades. I'll be looking for 5.13 gears in the future and wanting to add lockers, but that seems like a pretty big investment since I'll need to get a new front axle as well since my Sahara has a DANA 30.
