Looking mean and clean. Planning on doing the 1” peak up front to level out. But seeing if I should also do 1” in the rear. Did you want to keep a very slight rake?

There is about an inch rake with the rear spacers installed. Maybe slightly less. It works for me because I pull an off-road teardrop trailer so it’s level when I pull it.

Got it. Thanks for the input.

I'm looking at the same interior and exterior build with the same suspension. +1 tire size with a modest 1" lift. Have you noticed any big hits on what your getting for mpg's? I never owned a hybrid before and curious on how it works. Does the engine completely shut off during some situations like it does with vehicle equipt with start/stop; and turn back on when needed? I might wait until next year when they are easier to find. Even with all the dealers I can't find any with that red interior.

The Recon Grapplers are SL load so they are only just a few pounds more that the factory tires. I didn’t really see much of a difference in MPG. Granted it still isn’t getting the best. My average is 18 city 20 highway. However my single trip mpg city is like 20. Not sure why my average won’t increase.
As for the start stop, yes, it shuts down at red lights and if very little pressure is applied to the gas pedal. Even going down the interstate at 65 it will shut down. You don’t really feel it though like you would in some other engine shut off designs. It’s very smooth.

Nice build. Just curious though if you've looked into changing the gears in the differential. I'm not sure on the 6th gen but my understanding on the 5th get was the diff gearing was 3.83. You could move to "33 inch tires" without to much trouble but to go to 35" you really needed to move up to 4.54 or more likely 4.88 gears to accomodate the tire change. Have you made the change or experienced any issues? Cheers

The 6th gen is a completely different beast than the 5th. It has so much more power. I honestly didn’t notice a difference with the tire change. I don’t think changing the gears is necessary at all.

Thanks man! I am still in love with it for sure. Since these pics, I’ve added a CBI stealth front bumper and a Westcott Designs low pro roof rack with Baja Designs LP8s on it as well as S2 Pro ditch lights. I did change the suspension up slightly as well. Dobinsons rear springs and a Westcott Deaigns front Collar only lift. Last pic is were I currently am right now in it haha

I I went with Westcott Designs Preload Collar Lift on my Pro.

looks amazing. with the addition of the bumper and winch did you notice the front end dip? or said differently did the front end have more rake? I'm looking at the same bumper and want to avoid any front end rake. Also, did you attempt to put the spare back underneath once you went to 295's?

Thanks! The bumper and winch will lower the front end 1/4in so just plan accordingly . As for the spare, no way it would fit so didn’t even try
