    Beyond happy with how this turned out! Installed 2018 headlights grille and fogs. I'm not exactly a handy man but have a little knowledge. This install wasnt bad at all. Huge thanks to @Roman for all the parts and to @iHacker for the harness. And let me just say, wow on the quality. I was blown away. I felt like I was installing a factory harness. Great job.

    I kept it simple. I dont off road or beat the truck up so I went with the 3/1 rough country spacer lift. I read alot of bad stuff about them but I think the truck rides just as good as it ever has. No driveability issues.

    Thanks for the info. I was debating over 3/1 level kit and the 3.5in lift kit. It seems that 3/1 is already high enough.

    From what I've read of you get over 3 inches alignment issues start popping up. I feel like mine is very borderline. Any higher probably would have resulted in uca's. But for me personally it's like baby bears soup.... juuuuust right. Not super tall but enough to catch your attention. Pics dont do justice

    Nice truck! Did the grill come with the badge? Or did you swap the 2017 badge over to it?

    No I had to purchase a new one. Hopefully @Roman will chime in, but I'm pretty sure it's off the FJ? On 2018 there's a sensor in the grill and it's stupid expensive. This is just the emblem by itself. Snaps right in.
