Comes with 1.5 additional height over standard Rubi..not sure if just different springs or maybe spacers, cast iron steering knuckles vs aluminum, 4.56 gearing, tail gate reinforcement, 35's, bead lock capable wheels, larger brakes, extra flare piece.
Yes. That shot was from the Rubicon walk around with LB.
It did great, his driving is spectacular though, so that helped hugely.
He's got the pockets and R&D to fix shit when it breaks.
Proper height to clear tires can also get you in trouble with CV issues. Remember, just because a CO can achieve height X, doesn't mean the CV axles can.
IFS is tougher to solve than SFA when lifting to fit 37's or bigger...unless you stay on the street.
Fun Haver CV below and it's not happy.
Sounds like the hardtop wasn't subject to such a test. Or the test is horse shit.
Anyway, I am pushed to 23 is my bet anyhow despite being 2nd day res holder.
Hopefully by then shit will be worked out or perhaps the Warthog will have made an appearance.
These are sitting for months on end it seems. Not true for all manufactures. Others do not even start the build until they have all the parts slated for that build on hand.
If sun load or weather isn't a concern for YOU, good for you.
