That is the geometry thing I was trying to explain. they need to be in the proper position.

 

Yeah so they look better now, its at the position where they free arced at

 

ok just got done repositioning the shackles again! they are point a lil towards the bumper. From fender to ground, with stock tire size i got 35.5 inchs in the rear with a 3/8 inch difference side to side, I put the jack underneath the body and jacked it up till the tire started to lose its grip on the ground and i measured 41 and half inches. Is that good?

 

3/8" difference isn't much so it looks like you are good. Still leaning up front?

 

up front yeah i think im getting new coils and then ill see what that does with new shocks...6.5 inch coils...know anyone selling or the cheapest place to get em? how much can i get for 3 inch lift coils, i wanna sell mine

 

You can get 6.5" coils from rusty's for $150. There are alot of coil springs to choose from, you just gotta look around. You could sell your 3" coils for $50-$75. That's about average.

 

yeah i think thats what im going to go with, and the control arms they have are 130, that with the steering drop, should be all i need for up front right?

 

With a 6" lift you will need a new track bar.

 

maybe tire pressure if it's that small

 

At 6.5, you basically need to replace almost everything. You CAN run the stock components but you will have one ****ty riding jeep. Control arms need to be extended or a drop bracket/long arm kit installed. Trackbar needs to be lengthened or an adjustable installed. Sway bar links need extended. Brake lines front and rear need to be lengthened. Pitman arm can stay but if you run a trackbar with a drop-bracket, you will need a drop pitman arm too. A sye kit would be a smart purchase. There are a couple other things I can't think of right now cuz I"m on two pills for this pain and it's sapping my brain power.

 

so control arms, track bar, sway bar links, and the drop pitman arm, and why do you need the sye if im keeping the lift i have on the rear and now just lifting the front? im planning on getting a sye anyways though.

 

ill check that

 

cuz you just said you plan on getting one anyways

Only need the drop pitman arm if the trackbar gets dropped too. The t-bar and draglink are like a married couple. They have to be parallel to have proper steering (or functional marriage). If one is dropped and the other stays put then you'll have bumpsteer.

 

my question is why do people drop the track bar in the first place?

 

Some trackbars come with a bracket that replaces the oem bracket and lowers the trackbar for better suspension angles. When this happens, the pitman has to be lowered too in order to keep both on the same angle.
