My cousins live close by, they could have taken more pics!!!!
Great Feedback,Just got home.
The 4WP marketing rep was there was very honest. We were talking the 37s and he advised while they fit without rubbing with the crash bar removed he suggested staying with 35s. I pressed him on a reason he advised he would be concerned with long term CV axle strength when hitting more than just fire roads. He also advised that the rig was only lifted 2.5 inches with their coil overs, not the 3-3.5 that was previous reported here on the forum. I have no idea who is correct, but he did state more than once it was only at 2.5 after I needled him on it a few times.
He let me start the motor (2.7) and look under the hood. Nothing to report on that that hasn't already been said.
I have to admit the seating position felt very low. I like the Jeep Rubicon higher up positioning better. The interior was good enough.
The CV angles looked ok with only minimal witness marks.
I also think (flame suit on) the fender delete with the huge amount of poke looked terrible, incomplete if you will. If you like it cool, I felt it look very unfinished.
For me the biggest highlights were the front and rear bumpers. Very, very nice with contours that were well thought out. Almost AEV like.
Agree. My bet is they had the coil overs cranked down for the gram in that first pic you posted. Then lowered it back down for real world testing after they saw the CV angles and perhaps noted the harsh ride. Hell....it very well might have bound up the CVs under full droop at 3.5I would trust them that this rig lifted is 2.5' vice 3.5" looking at the lower control arms. It looks better with the lower lift. YMMV
The first pic doesn't look like there was much droop left & we saw how it rode it the video with very little compression after being in the air.
I think for me, the fender deletes will look better with my stock badlands wheels. I agree, excessive wheel poke is gross.Just got home.
