Well I found out what happened, someone on the commander forums noticed I had poly spacers on my front struts roughly .50" top and 1.50’’ bottom of the spring. So I lifted my lift kit…
I thought it was factory, guess not. The plus side is that the existing lift kit is some $400+ one the PO did right.
I need someone with a lathe now to cutdown the rear poly spacer i removed to 1" for me so it’ll level out the cars stance. Aside from needing new uca’s with better geometry I’m pretty happy with this accident. I can fit 33’s now no problem

Trail rated badge means it has skid plates and usually tow hooks.

I hope that last picture isnt sitting on the ground your ball joints will hate you and not stick around very long. Lifting IFS trucks usually never ends well.

No, it doesn’t. It just means the vehicle passed a series of manufacturer off road capability tests. Any 4wd jeep will have the badge. It’s just a fluff marketing thing.
