Finally got my MOPAR Stage I 2" lift kit installed yesterday along with bigger 325/65R18 Duratracs on my 2015 JKU Sahara. I wanted to post pics here because I couldn't find anyone on the forum running this combo.

I'm extremely happy with this new setup! Love the lift kit and these new bigger tires (I had 285/65R18 Trail Grapplers before). No power issues at all on the 3.73 gears. AEV Procal is a must though - my shift points were all out of whack before I flashed it - shifts perfect now.

Attached some pics below from right after I picked her up at the shop that did all the work (County Line Auto Body in Howell, NJ).

Happy to answer any questions...

Really nice looking Jeep. I'm going to assume you're not off-roading with this? Looks like you'd need to add some flats or you're gonna rub?

That's the lift I plan on getting sometime soon.

Thanks!

I'll just be doing some light trails, not a lot of climbing so I'm not too concerned with rubbing. But yeah, you'd definitely need some flats and/or taller lift if you are planning on rolling over boulders with tires this size or any larger.

You will love the AEV bumpers - they are REALLY well built and fit the lines of the Jeep perfectly. Wish they offered these bumpers right from the factory.

Thanks! Can't take credit for the flag pole. It was in the ground behind the Jeep. Just took the picture at that angle to make it look like it was mounted to it - lol.

Took a picture of my setup next to a stock JK Sport this weekend just so everyone here has a frame of reference for how much height you will be adding if you add the MOPAR lift and larger tires

Thanks man - really appreciate it!

Your ride looks awesome! Thanks for posting this, that is the exact look that I plan on going for "someday."
The only problem I think I will have is that unfortunately I have the 3.21 gears. (Not my choice) I'm coming from a Saleen Mustang so obviously the Jeep is slow but I'm ok with that, just worried that if I go the same route you did that the 3.21's will be useless.
Enjoy yours, it looks fantastic.

Great Jeep!

Looking to get same tires but trying to find the right backspacing wheels. For my Hurricane flares.
Are those the Hostage wheels?
Are they the 4.5 or 5.0 back spacing?
How much do the tires pass the fender?

You might be used to it now but you mentioned you changed the shifting did you also feel power loss with the big tires? Is the steering heavier?

Thanks!

Can you flash back and forth for winter summer tires easily?
