I want to say I was leaning when shooting the pic and the ground dips where it is parked at the moment. But I noticed that too. Only real leveling issue we had was with the front and a 3/4 spacer solved that.

 

I went with IRO Long Arms. I figured with the height I wanted to run it was best to go the long arm route from the start. Also since my better half will be driving it at times I wanted a very stable platform just in case she has to run over a prius

 

Good choice! I'm running IRO long arms also, for the exact same reasons as you.

 

Pretty annoyed, been waiting on the custom drive shaft to come in, been two weeks.

Got my 1 ton steering, drop pitman arm and stabilizer installed today. Sway bar body mounts have been moved forward a tad. So a good day all in all. Just need that damn drive shaft and we'll be golden.

 

Looks good so far man. Definitely seems like you are doing it right the first time rather than messing with t/c drops, and stock steering. Lets see some pictures of the steering. Did you do above or below the knuckle?

 

Thanks, taken a lot of time and effort to get to this point not to mention $$.
I went UTK figured that was the best route to take for now.

I'll post some pics after I get it back from the shop and cleaned up tomorrow.

Your jeep looks awesome, I'm loving the wheel/tire combo!
I'm planning on doing a similar susp. Setup on mine.

 

So after driving around this weekend I came to the realization that something was not right. I had a wonderful white knuckle experience on the highway in a construction zone. I felt like I was about to lose all control of the vehicle while at 55mph. Slowing down helped but things were still pretty sketchy.

"search" lead me to a thread where MikeXJ last summer had the same issue and it turned out to be alignment related. Hell I hope this is just alignment related. At the moment this thing drives like a f-in catastrophe.

 

Results from the shop came back.

Left Front Right Front
-0.7 -0.4 Camber
5.9 6.0 Caster
0.59 -0.30 Toe

Steer Ahead 0.44

So the Toe is way off.

here's the thread I found.

Noticing a difference after having the alignment done. True test will be on the highway tomorrow.

 

lift looks very nice

 

Well the professional alignment helped. I drove the same section of the beltway today felt better but still not 100%

 

love the wheels
