Boomer,
They are roadshock 3” led 2120 lumens flood with side light. I also bought the wiring kit. It was around $80. There was a YouTube video about them, so I decided to give them a try. I also picked up an Apex 12000 lb winch hook. |

I took it on a trail ride yesterday and found that the rear tires rub the rock rails while flexed. Plus one of my shocks is wheezing. Contemplating a Metal Cloak 3.5 Game Changer lift.

I just swapped axles/gears/etc in January and I really wish I'd done a gear swap a long time ago. Such a huge improvement. You love it. What shocks are you running? I have two rear Rancho RS9000 adjustable for a JKU 2"-4" that are used but still have a lot of life left in them. They're yours if you want them. I can bring them to you at the RITO. I think I even have one or two spare adjuster knobs if I can find them. I'm on an EVO 3.5 but the MC was the other kit that I went back and forth on. I think you will be very happy when you do the suspension and gears. Your JP looks fantastic! |

The 2.5 would give me the same amount of flex with less height to jump into, as well as a lower CoG. I haven't put mine on a RTI ramp, but with my wheeling, I have yet to get a tire stuffed up into my fender. I don't think I've been all that close, though it is kind of hard to tell when you're flexed and off camber. I'm not gonna get out and look.

Haven't had anything to post in a while. Added a JL to the collection today, reasonably good deal came along at exactly the right time.
2020 with about $10K of properly done mods that I would have done anyway.
