We just finished a 2" Dynatrac lift and 37's install on our 21 JL. We love how it turned out. The ride is just like stock or just a little better. The road manners are great and the fit and finish are top shelf for us. I think 4:88 gears will be the last thing, but living in north Texas, we don't need them right now. I can't say enough good things about this combination.
Great video! I just picked up a 2021 JLU rubicon and am looking for a small lift mainly just to level it out and then put 35s on it. Yes I want 37s but the negatives just outweigh the positives for me personally.
Its amazing how an increase from 35s to 37s is average and inch and a half more in height , i think about regearing , lift , gas , 7th and 8th gear . All for that tiny bit of height. Sounds like 35s are the best fit
Perfect. I have 2.5" of lift and running 35's. I want to go 37's and this video really answered some questions. I was wondering about the steering at full chock and whether the tires rub the frame at all. I know a lot of that has to do with backspacing etc. but being that you kept your wheels closer in, you would seem to get a good example of that. I have no idea what my Fuel Covert Beadlocks are spaced at but I just wanted to make sure there was no or minimal rubbing on frame during a hard turn.
Such a good video thank you. I'm running 37's on my JLUR and getting 17 mpg. I wonder are you calibrated? I do have issues getting into 8th but it's rare, but I think why you loss of mpg could be like you mentioned the tire size, I'm running the the bf goodrich km3's which are not true 37's and the there also maybe a weight difference? Great vid👍
Stephen Carbajal Hi, Yes. My Jeep is calibrated with a Tazer from Z Automotive. After I uploaded the video, I realized that I cut that mention out. I’m getting a consistent 15.5 mpg for the most part.
Interesting? It must be the difference in tire size and possibly weight? I cant think off the top of my head the load range of my bf's but anyway good vid.
I have a Jeep JL with an aev kit, and cant stand how stiff it is. I have changed all the components to help get it dialed in but the springs are so stiff. Wound the springs in this be more plush and ride more like stock. Have soft c rated bfg ko2 37s on 17s and it just does not soak up anything just puts the feel right to my seat.
I don’t have a lot of experience with AEV suspension kits under the JL. What I can say is that these springs are definitely on the soft side. I’m not sure what exactly is feeling firm on yours. It could be the valving and/or springs. If I was to swap over, I would definitely swap the shocks and the springs and start fresh. This is a very smooth riding kit for sure.
@@DrivingLine I actually upgraded to falcon fully adjustable shocks with reservoirs… In an attempt to dial the ride in, but it hasn’t helped I was thinking of either going with some thing like this and keeping my adjustable shocks, or going to a TeraFlex kit being it’s the same as falcon
Its the AEV springs that cause the stiff ride. For example, with dual rate springs you use of the soft side of the spring right away and are basically riding on the stiffer part. Ride quality is mostly coming from the spring. The shocks dampen the springs and the better the shock the better the dampening in that the Fox Performance 2.0 will retain their effectiveness much longer and help soak uo bigger hits. Reservoir shocks are probably not necessary unless you are racing for extended time. In reality most of are just cruising along at a comfortable speed on a dirt road. AEV is good for roof top tent, extra fuel and water for extended trips, drawer systems, extra height for larger obstacles etc.
I installed this years ago. At the time, this lift was a little less. There were also a ton of threads about Mopar springs bowing around the same time I was looking for this kit. Overall, I was very happy with this setup.
I’m still on stock control arms and I do not have an adjustable track bar. The actual lift height amount is around 1.8 inches. That keeps everything pretty well in spec. When I put my Jeep on the alignment rack, the caster was around 4.5. A set of lowers would definitely get it closer to 6 degrees, but it’s not driving poorly at the moment. So, I haven’t really worried that much about it. It’s still within spec. The springs are definitely soft, but I have a full-size tire carrier on the back from Expedition One and an ARB drawer system. Even when I load up the Jeep for trips, it’s not sagging out the back. Long term, who knows? For right now, it’s been great.
@@Ali_Mansour_Editor Ok you have a Rubicon... I have a sport S so i would expect a bigger lift for my ride. So adjustable controls and track bar would probably be neccessary. Thanks for the info!
I have a new 2021 Gladiator Rubicon that has the 2" lift but I need a bigger tire for more clearance and rubber. That said, I love the factory wheels. From what I found, you can't get bigger than a 315 on that 17" rim. Is that correct?
You can run a taller tire for sure. You just need to make sure it's narrow enough to be with spec. So, if you are looking for a 37 for example, try and find one that is a 11.50 inches wide rather than 12.50. That being said, you can run a 37x12.50 on the stock wheel, but it's going to be out of the tire manufacturer's recommended specifications.
I think this kit runs the 3inch lift front fox shocks right? If so do you recommend upgraded drive shaft? Does stock shaft allow enough range of motion with the sway bar unlocked?
Very minimal rubbing on the plastic at the backside of the rear fenders. I trimmed them up a little bit and that was it. This is Rubicon, so it already has Highline fenders. If I wanted or needed more clearance, I could easily split the flare.
I always look at the wheels backspacing figure. Ideally you want over 5 inches of backspacing. These were close to that and worked well. Companies like Trail Ready will build you a beadlock with custom backspacing or you can go with something from AEV which has around 5.72 inches of backspacing.
Curious on your thoughts on how a 2.0 turbo no etorque . Definitely loving reviews on this..Wife says lower the better but I want 37s 2021 unlimited rubicon
I haven't spent enough time with the 2.0 Turbo to say how it would work on 37s. I have a few friends with that engine setup on 37s and 40s. They all seem very happy with it. I think regearing the differentials will be the ticket to keeping it feeling peppy all around. - Ali Mansour
I have Wildpeak AT3W on order in 37s for my '22 JLUR 2.0L no etorque. I think I'm going to put a Clayton 2.5" on and eventually re-gear in 2023 once I have more money saved up. It's funny because I bought the Jeep over the 4Runner because the Rubicon already had the ground clearance I wanted and I wouldn't have to do anything to it like I'd have to for the 4Runner. Here I am less than a year after picking up the Jeep and I have 37s on order and looking at a lift. Just Empty Every Pocket
How is the geometry with the stock track bars? I just installed this lift and notice the vehicle is off center... is it outside of specs?? Do I need new lower control arms or new track bars?? Also, anyone have issues with the bolt from the passenger side front track bar coming loose?? Wondering if my mechanic missed something
With just two-inches of lift, everything should be within factory spec in regards to the tracking. I put my on the alignment machine and the caster was at 4.3. This is within range, but the JL tends to drive a little better with increased caster. So, lower control arms would help with this. If you are happy with the on-road driving "feel", I would not worry about buying lowers. I never had an issue with my bolts coming loose.
Driving Line yea just found out the mechanic didn’t tighten it back up. I’m going to swap out both track bars with the synergy ones. Could I do the lower control arms in the driveway or does it need to be on a lift?
Questions...a 2020 jl sports with this lift kit on 35...would I have to rear gear...and would this be enough of a lift to go out on trails and fire roads...
I just spent a few days wheeling in the mountains and it really makes me want to re-gear to 4.88. This is mostly to get 8th gear back on the highway. You could probably get away with stock gearing and 35s. It just depends on how hilly of a place you live and how much highway driving you are doing. In terms of trails and fire roads, I think it works great for that. Very smooth riding suspension. I will have more videos on my JL on this channel very soon showing how it works in the mountains.
Did you run the lift any with 35s any before putting your 37s on and if so what was your thoughts? I am considering this lift but don’t want it to be too much for 35s and don’t want to go to 37s
Nick McKinney I did not. I had 35s with no lift before this. I will say, I liked the power a lot better with 35s. I am very happy with the ride quality, but am leaning towards regearing at this point. I’ve seen others with this kit and 35s and it doesn’t look bad. You won’t have the rubbing issues that I have either.
@@TRD_Cueto Not bad at all. At first, it would grab a little plastic on the bottom side of the inner fender at the back. I eventually trimmed that bit of plastic up a little and didn't have an issue. It would still put pressure on the inner fender every now and again if it was super stuffed, but not so much that it was an issue. If you look on this channel, you can find more video of me wheeling the Jeep in the rocks. It worked great.
A 35-inch-tall tire will be the more practical of the two. It will also allow you to keep your stock differential gears. Moving up to a 37 will rob a little more power and performance. I prefer the look at off-road performance of the 37s, but the 35 is definitely the more practical tire.
It depends on the fenders. It just barely rubs, so new fenders aren’t really necessary. If you peeled out the plastic inner liner, nothing would rub at all. Many of the aftermarket flares Mount lower the the factory Rubicon ones, so you actually might lose room instead of gain it. If you went with a narrow style flare that might be the exception.
@@DrivingLine wow! So your view after testing is the dynatrac 2 in lift doesn’t have relevant rub even in full articulation? Appreciate the tip on fenders too! No reason to bother. Prefer to replace when eventually broken if possible! What back rack and rear bumper did you go with if you don’t mind me asking? If you have a spec sheet I can browse that too if easier 😃 really appreciate it!
It’s only rubbing on the plastic inner liner. Nothing that would create any damage. My bumpers come from Expedition One. If you look on our channel, you’ll find install videos on those as well.

I don’t think this kit is designed or offered for the 4XE. The 4XE is a bit heavier. I would recommend looking at a suspension kit from JKS manufacturing. They offer a 2.5 lift designed specifically for the 4XE.
No. I didn't modify anything on the body. It rubs slightly on the inner fenders at full stuff, but not to the point where I've needed to modify anything.
@@DrivingLine was test fitting some 37s on rims with a 4.285 back spacing (likely slightly off some standard) on BFG MTs that run 36.25 on dia and it seemed decent.
A little over an 1.5 inches. It's a 37x12.50R17 on a 17x8.5 beadlock with 4.75 inches of backspacing. If you wanted something to stay tucked under the wheelwell a little more, look at the AEV Borah Dualsport wheel. It has 5.75 inches of backspacing and sticks out less.
The suspension would work no problem. You probably won’t be able to run 37s however. The Willys does not have highline fenders like the Rubicon from the factory.
Nice review. Do you have any experience with the Mopar/Fox lift. My understanding is that it yields over 2 and a half inches of lift. Would that likely prevent any rubbing on a JLUR with 37s? How does it compare? Thanks.

With the larger tire and no speedometer correction, you’re definitely doing better than 15 mpg. Still not great, but likely 16-17.
It was calibrated using a Tazer JL from ZAutomotive.

About 1.5 miles per gallon better. I have a little bit of a heavy right foot. So, that doesn’t help.

Excellent setup. Thoughts on this lift with 35’s on a rubicon?
JEFFERY Kesler It would work fine. You’ll just have a little more gap around the tire.
Did you have to modify the body in any way for tires not to rub?
No. I didn't modify anything on the body. It rubs slightly on the inner fenders at full stuff, but not to the point where I've needed to modify anything.
Hi do you have this set up for JK? 2016 rubicon
At this time, Dynatrac only offers this kit for the 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JL.
Can I run stock wheels on this lift without spacers?
Depends on the tire. A 37x12.50 will rub on the control arms with stock wheels.

I never re-geared it, but it could have benefited from 4.88s for sure. I ended up selling the Wrangler and purchasing a Gladiator.

What about 35” it will rub off road ?
You would have plenty of room with a 35.
How far the tires sticking out front & rear?
A little over an 1.5 inches. It's a 37x12.50R17 on a 17x8.5 beadlock with 4.75 inches of backspacing. If you wanted something to stay tucked under the wheelwell a little more, look at the AEV Borah Dualsport wheel. It has 5.75 inches of backspacing and sticks out less.

Usually around 30 up front and 28 out back.
can i install this on my 21 diesel JL?

The suspension would work no problem. You probably won’t be able to run 37s however. The Willys does not have highline fenders like the Rubicon from the factory.
Nice set up , what motor ?
TMS 1224 It’s the 3.6L V-6.
What are the specs on the tires
37x12.50R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 17x8.5 KMC Robby Gordon Beadlocks.
Nice review. Do you have any experience with the Mopar/Fox lift. My understanding is that it yields over 2 and a half inches of lift. Would that likely prevent any rubbing on a JLUR with 37s? How does it compare? Thanks.
We have not tested the Mopar lift unfortunately. So, we're not sure how it would compare.
Did you adjust for tire size with a Tazer Jl or something similar?
Matthew Love Yes. The Jeep has the Tazer JL. I apologize, I forgot to mention that in the video.
What bumpers are you running? I love them
Both are made by Expedition One.

Name of the rims?

@@DrivingLine thank you.
Thats a loud mud tire
Dude - you look puny compared to those tires. Ridiculous.
I do find standing next to large tires very slimming. Thanks.
