Flipped the shackles to the right direction! This looks like a lot more than the 4.5" I was expecting....might have to run bigger tires!

Got the front break lines installed and the passenger quick disco on! Still cutting the driver side bolt out from the stock sway bar links. Gotta reconnect the steering linkage and mount the trac bar. Should be able to get it on the road this week.

Finished the driver side quick disco and got the new adj. trac bar in! No pics yet, I'll wait till it rolls out the garage. It's sitting on all fours! Need to run the rear break line, bleed the breaks and install the shackle relocation bracket (which should be here tomorrow). The end is near

Installed the shackle boxes and finished the break line. Gotta find some help to bleed the breaks and the jeep will live again!

Got the breaks bled and took it out around the block. Need to get my sye installed ASAP, lots of vibration. Probably gonna look into bigger coils for the front end as well to level it out a bit more. Gotta take my tires in and have them mounted on my rims and mount the bushwackers! Sye is next though.

Thanks for the comments, dropping it off Tuesday to have it aligned, sye installed and the driveshaft ordered! Will be ordering the 4.5" RE coils Tuesday as well!
