About
I have been researching a bit on putting some lifts on my 2015 Jeep Rubicon Hard Rock to provision some outlanding and mild off-roading capabilities. When I had purchased my Jeep new from a local Jeep dealer, it came with:
To really experience light to mid off-roading and outlanding, I think adding a 3″ lift and adjustable shocks will help add to the experience and would also add to the visual. I was looking at 35″ MT tires to go w/ this idea. I was thinking about adjustable shocks to allow for daily drive adjusts as well as for off-roading/outlanding. Additionally, this setup should help me w/ the M1101 leveling and hauling – because currently, the trailer is not at leveled when hauling even w/ a pintle-hitch height extension
Following some research, pricing, etc., I decided to go with this product line:
As part of my research to determine which products would work best for me, I had a brief chat with my next door neighbor who has some hands-on off-roading experience,; spoke w/ the pre-sales/technical Teraflex folks a couple of times – did some deep-dive conversation with them; had a few more with the folks at Extreme Terrain have been super great about brainstorming w/ me and helping me decide which ones to get for my specific type of application and have also given me a good deal on these products – a much better deal than what Teraflex had on for sale.
While I was at this effort, I also needed to look at the rear spare tire carrier situation since the stock carrier is not going to work w/ the 35″ new setup. Consequently, I had ordered this:
The products arrived in the UPS a couple of days late – and are now ready for the install date. More to come here w/ a few pictures, videos, etc.
INSTALL:
I have been a loyal customer of Velishek Auto‘s here in Prior Lake, MN. Not only is Velishek a family oriented business, they are true to their customers. Their team is honest and I feel good about doing business w/ them. Their service department has been really a great experience for me and my family for several years. Randy and his entire team at Velishek has and continues to be a good team to work with. John in their service department is a great guy to work with, very knowledgeable, customer focused and quality driven. I care about these things when doing business with people – it’s always people first and the relationship/friendship we build with each other.
I am super excited to have given my Jeep install business to Velishek’s Randy and his team in John and team; John and team have been looped in early on in the brainstorming process, even before I had ordered the parts. I enjoy keeping the business within the city of Prior Lake, MN businesses and am excited to see the outcome of my Jeep project with Velishek.
