Build is looking good.. Hey another thought for you on the flares is you could pick up a set of cut out flares from Napier Products they are actually matt black, not gray as in the pics. They are better than the Bushcrackers because they are thicker material, and provide a bit more clearance. Not to mention the fact of they are quite a bit cheaper than the BW flares. These are the ones I am looking at purchasing for my XJ.

How did you get the 3.5 up to 5.5? Shackles and spacers?

Wow! I have no clue how I missed this build thread. VERY VERY VERY clean man! When I see your Jeep, I get this thought that it should be on the cover of one of those 4 Wheel Drive cherokee magazines. This is great man, keep it up.

Haha dam I go away for like 3 days and now I got a bunch of replies lol. Thanks guys it's a piece of work but I love it.

Small update:
Been flying around with the AF this week but when I get home in the next few days I have a good amount of work waiting for me

Rustys Offroad TC skid plate
6degree shims(so I can remove the TC drop and 4 degree ones)
Still got to install the snorkel
And brand new brakes all around via summit racing.

Once I get home from the trip I'll post some pictures I took and where if anyone wants a look.

At first I added IRO 2" coil spacers and also did warrior products shackles.

And now I found a set of barely used RE 5.5" coils for the front.

Thinks sits perfect now and is the same height as my friends 6" lift so as most RE products do it sits a little higher then advertised
