That looks about right.

I am at 3 in the front and 4 rear. Dropping it to 2 in the front and 2.5 in the rear hopefully by the 26th.

That should be perfecto as far as off road efficiency for my type of wheeling.

I wanted to keep the blocks to shut all the uninformed up.......but sadly they will be going. Its the best way I can see to do it and still keep my travel.

Tomorrow I will buy some angle shims for the diff. Then I will start on it.

I want to run about a 4.5" lift and then run 35" tires. My rig is going to be an expedition style rig. I want to pick up a set of notch customs x-max flares so I will have no problems running the 35's. They cost almost the same if not less(depending on where you shop) as bushwacker flares.
I want a full Clayton LA kit but I might piece something together. Any ideas?

Not gonna be able to afford the Clayton kit till next year...I was pulled into a vacation to Orlando the first weekend of February so thats $1300 out of the Jeep fund.
More than likely I will end up buying Claytons LA upgrade, then source the coil springs and leaf springs from RE or something but I'm not totally sure yet, just depends which one is going to have the better load rating, since I'm going to either be towing a trailer eventually or loading down the rear with a bunch of gear plus a RTT on the roof.
However this is still down the road, still have a lot of other things that need done first.

found a crack in the side of my radiator today. weird, i was looking at it earlier and noticed some coolant pooled up in the bottom of the battery tray, but couldn't see any leak in it. a short 5 minute drive home and i found it, pouring out the side. hopefully replacing it on payday this thursday. i was going to order a new header or manifold(got the crack around the collector), but gotta get the more important thing first.
