Ome springs installed in the rear today. Took an hour with the rear wheels on the axle.

My list is down to a few small items!
Just have to:
Install shocks on front, been driving around without.
rework the rear shock mounts.
Wheel studs on the 8.8.

These are an older tread pattern. Could be my driving also but I slide alot when the roads wet.

It stretches a bit. Pinion yoke hits upper arm.
And before the shocks are done the brake lines are stretched.

Everything is running great. I'm so happy with how my Jeep is right now. I still need to get my bump stop plates turned down a little more to stop the rattle I hear.
