Wondering what lift height your at currently? Looks like you have a spacer up front in your more recent pics (with the iroks)

Curious because I have the same lift, same 36/13.5/15 bias iroks and a set of raceline beadlocks, I know the iroks are actually bigger than the 37's on a 15x8" rim so I was wondering what you added and how clearance is.

I'm thinking of doing u bolt eliminators (+1.5") rear and a spacer for the front (then put in the ACOS later when I have some extra $)

Its a 1.5" spacer on 6.5" springs. Really it just got me back to 6" with the weight on the front. All my clearance for the tires came from a saw and a sledge hammer. It has full turning radius at full stuff. Sorry i took a massive hiatus from forums for a nit and just wheeled the **** out of it lol. I need to post up some wheeling pics and the new tow rig.

Few random wheeling pics since last update. Haven't really been focused on taking pics and just wheeling. Really all i have is what other have snapped of me on the trails.

Not totally. Just withdrew from all the drama and such in the clubs.

I just read through this entire thread. Not sure if you're still active on the forum, but the Jeep is amazing. I had plans on building an 8.8 for mine, but was on the fence on an 8.25. You just sold me on going with an 8.25. Keep up the good work. Now Im going to read your father/son build
