Got my Rough Country shackle relocation kit in today. Bad lighting but gives you an idea of what they look like.




Also placed an order for some hockey pucks to use for lower bumpstops in the front coil springs. Got free shipping too gotta love the holidays

Nah not hauling the jeep 2.5 hours to use clydes shop. Ill be doing it in my spare time in my garage over a week or so. I prefer to touch every bolt myself and to keep as few random hands as possible wrenching on the jeep that way i know everything was put on right since i did it myself lol.

Oh ill have an extra set of hands helping. Just not having a big get together to put it on. I have OCD when it comes to checking things on my vehicles and just prefer to put in 99.9% of the wrenching on it.
