Nothing right now, the rear with the general springs metric ton springs has it about 2" over the front..if the 5.5" coils leave me with a slight rake out front I would be fine with that...
If it's too much I have some shackles that'll give an 1" of lift

Didn't know you replaced the leafs, thought you still had the AAL on. Mine are coming off and got a new 2WD set and brackets for SOA. Might put a XJ shackle in to bring it down to 4.5" or so to match the 3.5" RE front coils.

Yeah I got them on a group buy on comancheclub.com pretty good deal...
Hope the soa don't get you higher than the 4.5" you expect...some guys have had mixed lifts due to new springs or worn out springs...

These Springs are brand new from Stanley Springs. I know with SOA and new leaves, people get 5.5 inches out of them. So if I use a Cherokee shackle that's one inches shorter that should bring me to 4.5 inches.

I don't even visit Comanche Club anymore. I got tired of getting talked down to because I kept the 4-cylinder. Besides there's no information there that I can't get from this site.

Ok cool, I've thought about going SOA for more ground clearance but changes always happen in jeeps lol

I get you, when I first started into jeeps that's the place I started before coming here, they've helped a lot and I've helped plenty as well...just paying it forward when I can
