Sorry not sure. Came with the jeep. But it did come with light guards that I never put on.
Thanks!
Btw any thoughts on extended shackles? Do I need them? The back has rubbed a couple times due to pot holes.

Also note how far back the axle is. You flex that out a bit (or accelerate hard, hit a good bump, load the back with some weight - anything to make the leaf spring compress) and you're going to rip that mud flap off and rub the rear bumper cap.
Rest looks nice though! Really clean.

So I got my jeep back today. Just got the 3" new leaf springs installed and overall the Jeep runs MUCH better. Someone had mentioned getting extended shackles for the rear sagging, but the right way to go was to get new leaf springs. Plan was to install them myself, but i just have so little time i just said screw it and got it done.
End result is a stiffer ride, no bouncing over bumps, zero rubbing, better handling around a turn, a smoother ride and a little increase in height. Couldn't be happier. Also added center caps to the wheels and they look great!
106,000 miles and still running like a champ.
