Got out all 4 upper shock bolts on the rear without breaking them.

Crap, I got so excited about how the rear looked I think I forgot to take pics of the front. May have some on the other camera I was using.

If It might help someone else, I used a 3ft long 3/8 extension and a wiggle socket with the cordless impact and let it SLIGHTY hammer till they broke loose. Was thinking about TORQUE STICKS for lug nuts and how they work and got the idea.

Fuzzy pic but shows clearance. I am pretty sure it will settle some but went from 18.25" center of wheel to edge of fender up to 24.50". seemed kinda odd to me since was only 4.5" lift.

I think you should put the flares back on. Your Jeep looks too nice to cut up imo.

Thanks, that is why I did not go ahead and trim the fenders,I wanted to keep the mounting holes just in case. I did not realize how much 4.5" would raise it. Might put them back on.

Before and After Lift
A good change I think. I came across some 1" square tubing dies for a Ben Pearson Pipe Bender (which I have) and will start building a custom roof rack before too long!

Checking the Flex
Got a chance to check the flex today. I was worried about the brake lines but had plenty of room to spare.

THECR8 plate is not in yet, takes about 6 weeks to get a custom one.
