    my little baufueg however its spelled was able to get the repeater from about Lagoon. but the modulation wasn't strong enough to allow a conversation. so I moved to the maverik on parish lane just off the freeway and still not able to speak. so moved about half a mile south and bingo! so there...

    Jeep what lift kit to buy? 2018 JKUR

    I looked at the AEV 3 inch lift with the progressive rate coils and that is still one of the top lifts I am considering. As far as the adjustable control arms the rough country lift actually lowers the mounts for the control arms so they stay where they where originally at so to speak.
