We custom ordered our 2013 Rubicon from Bob Baker Jeep in Carlsbad. Specifications included it being an Unlimited Rubicon in black with the saddle (tan) leather interior. We also wanted the manual transmission as well as only a soft top.
After seven weeks of continuously checking Chrysler's website as the Jeep progressed from, order placed, to parts collected, assembly, paint, road test, and ship, it finally arrived from Ohio to the train depot in Southern California, where it seemed to sit for a few more days before making it onto a truck and finally to the dealer.
During the seven weeks of waiting, I ordered through Bob Baker the 2.5 inch suspension lift by American Expedition Vehicles as well as the AEV geometry correction brackets. This lift, while a little more expensive than other lifts, had excellent reviews and I have to agree that the Jeep, after being lifted with this kit, rides just as comfortably as with the stock set up. Here it is brand new, just off of the delivery truck.

Since Bob Baker Jeep is certified by AEV (American Expedition Vehicles), I went ahead and had them install the AEV 2.5 inch XT lift as soon as the Jeep arrived at their dealership. The AEV lift kit replaces your stock Bilstein shocks with taller AEV branded Bilstein shocks in all four corners. New taller coil springs are also installed.
And the package would not be complete without the taller 35 inch tires. We also ordered through Bob Baker Jeep the Method Race Wheels and Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain tires.
The build was completed in a few days at the dealer and we were anxious to finally meet the newest addition to our family.
