Bringing this thread back to life. I am new here and just picked up my 2022 Wagonner 2 weeks ago. Ordered the 3" Rocky Road lift, XD Outbreak wheels, and 35X12.50x20 Ridge Grapplers. Red Rock Offroad in Wyandotte, MI will be performing the installation. All components should be in next week for install, hoping to have it complete for Jeepfest in Toledo on 8/5. Lets Go!
 
Are you planning to do some serious offroading or is it just for the looks?
Will the 35's fit without trimming? Will you really gain a substantial clearance over the GW"s highest setting of the air suspension with some bigger AT wheels? Which by the way is extremely capable .
Please post some pics when you're done.

The lift and 35s will be 51% looks and 49% utility for me. While I will not do serious off roading, I run the construction for a multi family development firm and am constantly on job sites. The lift and aggressive tires will ensure my ability to get anywhere on the site I need to go. Trimming may be required but will not know until it gets all set up. Pics will definitely follow.
 
I was told the front lift is actually Readylift RAM kit, is it true? I decided to do leveling only and wondering if I can use RAM leveling kit instead from the front end
From what I understand the front part of the Ram Readylift works. The rear spacers do not. I personally went the route of a Wagoneer specific lift (Rocky Road) along with professional installation.

Please so post some pictures when you are done and also measure the clearance under the rear diff.
GW3 with airsprings in 5 and slightly bigger Yoko AT's gets me 12" clearance. So far ground clearance has never been an issue, it is the approach angle and the sheer size that limits. The 4wd system on the GW3 is absolutely amazing, so far I hardly ever spun a wheel except grounded in the middle on a steep sandy bank approach spinning all four.
Just now back in Utah exploring new trails, like this ATV trail to Powell Point. Good liuck with your project.

In case anyone has had interest in suspension lifts for the Wagoneer, Rocky Road does have the new kits available.
Wagoneer lift kit

We've been supplying these to local dealerships, who are selling the Jeeps new off the showroom floor lifted, 35" tires, 100% full warranty.
Now they are available to the public.
Don't want to Spam the board, so please email us if you have questions on the kit or installation.

Since the Jeep Liberty was introduced in 2002, Rocky Road has been the very FIRST company to develop, design, and offer lift kits for every single (non-Wrangler) Jeep that has come to market. We work with team Mopar to make sure our kits pass engineering standards so they can be safely and reliably installed by dealerships to wish to participate. Most offroad companies focus on the Wrangler, we love the 'other' majority of Jeeps on the market.

How long does this install take? Do you have instructions on line? Thanks

Wagoneer is lifted! Rocky Road 3” lift. XD 847 Outbreak wheels in 20x9 with 0 offset and 35x12.50x20 Ridge Grapplers. Little trimming. I freaking love it!!!

Looks really good! Has the change in ride height affected the 360 camera coverage area? Front/ rear park sensors and blind spot monitors detecting everything as before?
Edit: After thinking about it I'm sure everything works as intended. After all it has to work with the air suspension . Silly me :rolleyes:
 
Looks very cool.
The 35" tires do not need cutouts? I am running 34"s (285/50x22) on my GW with air suspension and it looks pretty tight.
Hope to encounter a Wagoneer fitted with your lift soon on a Utah trail. So far I've been the only one among Wranglers and 4Runners.
We have the lift on our 2023 wagonner L model that Karl Malone jeep installed and I don't recommend 35s even though they look great a little too much trimming involved for a 80,000 dollar vehicle I would go with a 34 inch which with weight on it when you measure it will be 33 inches and I would not go with 12.5 wide either Karl Malone guys know what size to put on there now after doing ours as far as the lift kit install they are great to work with

What did that dealership charge you ( Labor only) to install the lift kit? I just took delivery of my Wagoneer today. And with me supplying the lift Kit from Rocky Road Outfitters. My dealership wanted like $2000 just to put it on..

I did not use dealer but rather a Jeep off Road shop here in Michigan. $1000 for lift install.
