Looks great, get some pics once it dries and the interior is back in!
Wow you got a lot done. Make sure to torque the front and rear leaf spring bolts once the wheels are on and the weight of the vehicle is on the springs. If you torque them while the Jeep is up in the air, when you lower it they will be over tightened and will wear prematurely wear the poly bushings. What sye did you go with?
Installed polyurethane leaf spring bushings, 8.25 rearend, new e-brake handle assembly, next build shackle boxes, SYE, and sliders. Then rear bumper build and remove front bumper and finally finish it! Lol

Yep i always torque on the ground. With poly its not as biga deal since the sleeve isnt bonded to the rubber but i still do it anyway just as a double check on all the bolts n stuff. Im not sure what sye it is, i got it on a trade. No box or anything. I think maybe currie or rc....theyre all the same pretty much
