Amazing jeeps!! Really liked the red one but really love the silver as for the painted or non painted flares I would just keep them black break the truck up a little bit plus match the rest of the trim. Any plans on up dating the steering?? Keep up the good work

Dont think i am going to do the fenders anymore, there are other things i want to spend my money on and dont have much time to wheel right now anyway so its not like it will be getting flexed out a lot which would need the fenders cut.
Steering is what i am going to tackle next but need to do some research on it and learn about the proper geometry and what not. Just recently my trackbar started making a lot of noise, it creeks like crazy, sounds likes its being stressed really bad. Also the upper steery damper mount is catching on my Rustys skid plate so it pops when it gets caught so i need to trim the skid plate some more to clean up this problem.
As for what i have planned, i want to upgrade my RC track bar and mount to a RE Trackbar and mount with the frame stiffiner. I then want to upgrade my tie rod to the solid tubing with the larger TREs. Other then that im not 100% sure what else i want to do.
I absolutely love them. They have been well worth their weight in fold. If you search my name you can see some reviews i have written about them. I would highly suggest upgrading to long arms if you are thinking about it.

Love what you have done to your Jeep, its awesome. Shame about the Red one, it looked good, but Silver is a great colour. Thanks for the inspiration, looking for my second Cherokee, hopefully before the weather turns:-). Will certainly revisit to get some pointers for upgrades once I have my new toy.

Got my rear bar pin eliminators installed.
Started on my new leafs and shackle relocation kit. Passenger side went on easy as cake. Driver side was a whole different story. Still working on it. Will give you guys an update, hopefully it turns out to be a good one.

Had to drill out the hole on the bracket that goes inside the league spring mount, but after that was done it went right on. Drive around the block and bouncing up the curb to my driveway definitely feels better. It did raise the back end of my jeep about an inch and 3/4 so I will either be getting shorter rear shackles to drop it back down or getting larger front coils to bring the front up to the same height as the rear.
