Nope just the upper is necessary unless you go full mid travel which pushes track width out in the front but that replaces both upper and lower arms. Angles still look great on the lower arm and the truck only has 3500 miles on it.

I was thinking about replacing the factory with a pair of Moog balljoint just for peace of mind and the ability to grease them. Figured it was easier while half the suspension is already apart rather than having to do it all down the road.

 

Also did you install any diff spacers or a drop?

No spacers or drop. I'm ok with the cv angles but will keep an eye on it.

I guess it would be the right time to install lower ball joints but the spindle doesn't have to come off to install any of this. I did the upper arms with the factory struts out then the kings slid right in after the arms were on.

Where is everyone getting there tpms sensors/stems from?

eBay! Found some brand new for 60 bucks.

 

Finally, here is my contribution to the this thread.

 

Bilstein 5100s at max lift.

Method Grid 17x8.5, 0 offset.

Nitto Ridge Grappler tires 295/70R17

Gorilla spline lugs

 

Slight rubbing at full lock/reverse. This set-up would rub pretty bad offroad, fyi. I ziptied the fender liner back to give a little more clearance.

 

She sits fairly level! So far the nittos are doing great and the bilstein shocks were a huge upgrade over the Z71 ranchos.

I still have no idea what to do. One day it's Fox 2.0's/17" Methods/33's and the next it's a BDS 6" with coilovers/20's/35's. All over the place.

Was rubbing the fender liner towards the cab mount/ firewall at full lock.

 

It will most definitely rub the cab mount during wheel travel/suspension flex you'd see offroad. Would bet also contacting the firewall on both sides and ebrake cable conduit on the driver side.

 

This set up is fine for the mall and light wheeling. Anything extreme you'll need either smaller tires or you'll need to do some clearancing mods.

Due to the 0 offset I'm guessing? That tire measures about 33.3 inches and others have run 33s with a level without rubbing.

 

I'm wondering if I would have the same issues with 2.5-2.75"of lift/level in the front and 1" in the rear running that tire.

Maybe i'm just obsessed with method but i swear it's like those wheels were made for these trucks, the NVs just look perfect.

Thank you very much I'm so happy with how it turned out. No build thread...yet...guess I need to condense everything into a build thread but I'm pretty much done with it for a while.

DO IT!

So new guy here, first post.

 

Just got my 20x9 Fuel Mavericks with 1 offset installed with a 295/55/20 Ridge Grappler. I have the 2 inch front RC level with stock suspension. And it rubs at about 75% turn right and left. More rub seems to come when I turn the wheel left both front and reverse. Its rubbing at the bottom of the felt liner beside the plastic trim bolts. Not sure if I went with a 14 offset if that would eliminate the rub. I did so much research that I thought I was safe. Guess not.

 

Don't really want to cut into my truck. Is there metal behind the felt and trim bolts?

      Good thing my wife doesn't frequent my automotive forums, she might get the idea of strapping me to a handtruck and leaving me curbside for the pickers day before garbage pickup!

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Okay boys and girls I put a bottle of this in Dizzy the oil burning guineapig after a tank between the coil and plug service of the #3 hole and near the end of the first R&P 5W30 attempt. As a note I did a two R&P oil changes back in October of 2025 with little effect. Granted they were 1K mile a shot oil changes so.... Then followed by fourteen  1K mile changes of Mobil 1 Euro 5W30 FS. Also ineffective.    Anyone who has followed the adventures of Dizzy may remember that to put the oil on the full mark of the published nominal 5 quart change I withhold about a cup of oil. That over the last 50K miles the P0420 light has been a frequent flyer, sometimes three of four a day. And that even on 93 octane fuel she registers some KR even in moderate conditions on favorable days on slight inclines. Lastly when giving her a kick in the pants, something done about once a week, she looks like a diesel with the pump turned up. 😬   After one bottle and over the last 500 miles of a 3K mile OCI, of the first oil change I dropped the nastiest looking oil ever in her history. That's saying something as  you will recall I have used AutoRx, HP EC30/40 and a few other harsh solvents in her before including the GM top soak twice. This was syrup. Black stinky, inky syrup but the filter wasn't all that bad.    On the second fill I had to use the entire 5 quarts to reach the full mark. That was unexpected! The ignition KR is completely gone! Even at 99% engine load. MAP is much lower. Level road is now 9.8 instead of 12.5. Fuel economy is remarkably higher and for the first time since her earliest days she will spin to 6500, more than a thousand higher with out laying down dead. Yes, the coil and plug had something to do with that but remember the first 2500 miles after that repair on the first change it was same ole same ole Dizzy. Seems we have top rings that are somewhat functional again. P0420 code only comes on now if run in town for more than an hour of stop and go. On the open road it goes weeks without a incident. Perhaps it is cleaning the cat on the pass through?  Fuel Trims have improved as well. Nothing not to like.    To early to say about oil economy but the changes to date in the operational aspect is remarkable. I can't think of a worse case than Dizzy.... It's already paid for itself in a few tanks of fuel with the mpg improvement.    @OnTheReel, I'd say if the Jeep didn't respond perhaps there wasn't an issue to respond to.    I've run the Red Line SI-1, AMSOIL fuel cleaner, GUMOUT and Techron all in this SUV without any such results. Color me impressed. I'll be running out my supplies of the list mentioned and moving on to the Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Homer1959 · Posted

      Hey Chuck !!Thanks for the all the info I'm an old fart and I have everything I need for the oil change at home,minus flexibility .... and I’ve been doing my own oil changes for 40 years. I just didn’t want to end up without a crush washer or with the wrong one in my stash and have to walk to the auto parts store, lol. I climbed under the truck to check the location, and man, it’s going to be the easiest oil change and filter swap in the last 40 years—right up there with my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4. No mess, nothing to drip on—just perfect. I’ve got one more free oil change to use, and then that’s it with the dealership!

      2027 3.0l - ordered

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think this subforum was created for the new generation pickup trucks (2027-) with the 3.0 but I don't think it's a big deal either way. There are probably 2027 model-year specific changes for the SUV's too.   I was just curious if you had issues with your 2025 3.0. I'm still under 10k miles on mine and fingers crossed I don't have thrust bearing issues. I'm guessing not, since you're willing to buy another one! It's a good engine minus one or two manufacturing whoopsies.
