btw.. took me a good 2 and a half 3 hours to go through this thread

future idea.. chop top?
i dont think ill ever chop the top on this as it is my daily driver. maybe an exo/internal cage hybrid just for the wow factor.

hopefully will start working on the old girl again soon.

Homemade heat exchanger works pretty good

After i got the shop nice and warm i decided to install the 6.5in rc coils ive had laying around for awhile.

jeep up on lift

flex is good. got to love being able to remove coils without having to undo anything except the spring retainer. didnt even mess with taking tires off

stock coil vs. 3.5 with puck(what was on) vs 6.5 rc

Rides a little better with the lower spring rate and I sit about 1in higher in the front. I wanted to stay about 5.5 but by the time i fab up a new bumper and a few other goodies i bet ill be close to that.

later this week i am going to install a drop pitman arm to temp fix steering angles till i come up wth something else

i also need to address my track bar issue. i need it to be about 3/4 in longer. guess ill be building a few things this week. FUN!!!!!
