Ya I was thinkin it would be alot lower then it is. I'm gonna buy some new coils eventually, I don't like how big it is. I'm thinkin it needs to be 2-3" lower.
Thanks Ryan!

Current wheelbase is 113", i will be pushing the front forward about 3-4" as well so it will be around 116" once done..

Well I took my acos spacers out which took 2.5" of lift away, but the higher coil buckets and thicker axle tubes made it sit at almost the exact same height as before. It doesnt tower over jareds jeep, its actually about the same if not slightly lower. But i think im gonna swap the rear coils to the front which will lower the front about 3", and then swap some front coils to the rear which will lower it about 4". So theoretically i should be sitting around 4.5-5" of lift when all is said and done. I think that along with some 40's should be a good combo

Ya for sure, im hopin i dont "break" but im sure as hell gonna beat on her!! I gotta say, it was so nice to be driving the jeep again today. Although i need to build the box around my gas tank because the sound of the fuel pump is annoying!

I still have to finish the comp cut, shock mounts, and setup gears in the rear... not to mention I haven't started the front yet, but that should be a cake walk compared to the rear! So Ryan could still beat me..
