Did you get those injectors in yet?

I subscribed to your thread in the last week, looking to do a budget but very solid 2" or 2.5" build of my own. I have enjoyed reading what you got going on! Like the tow hooks a lot makes me wanna get some until I can upgrade to a big old bumper!

Thanks man! Haven't installed them yet, I figured I would just wait until it got warmer haha. I love my 2" lift, I think its the perfect height for what I've got going on now. I also recommend those c4x4 tow hooks and mounting plates, they're awesome! Good luck!

Was just going to post them! Did not install the injectors yet, I'm going to wait until Spring. I'll be planning a few trips then too lol

NEXT UP ON THE LIST!

1. Old Man Emu Coil Springs + 10mm spacers (Redoing front lift, will be ~2")

2. Rusty's Cross-member: 1" drop without losing ground clearance, maybe a t-case skid

3. Old Man Emu 2" Medium Duty Leaf Springs

4. Riddler MFG Diff Covers

5. JCR Bumper (still deciding!)

This is the list for the Spring/Summer, plan on getting everything done by mid-Summer!

Stay tuned!

I was getting mad vibes when I first put my AAL on haha. I've read that OME leaf springs sit about half an inch higher than they are advertised so I just want to be safe booo short driveshafts

You won't know until it is done. I have seen guys get vibrations on here with 2" of lift and the TC Drop fixed it (according to them).

I am going for those OME leafs this Spring but 2" spacers upfront for now. Will upgrade to OME springs in the future. And am planning on a TC drop.

Can't wait to see how it improves your jeep and start throwing those parts in mine. Good luck!
