I ended up with 5.5" in the rear, front will be at 4.5" after the new coil springs! Thinking about getting some UCA's as well.

Front will be at 4.5" and rear at 5.5", hoping for about 5" in the rear after the leafs settle.

Jeep is home and looking good! Front coils didn't help as much as I was hoping to level it. Might have to look into a different rear shackle. Bummer, I'll get some better pics this weekend out on the trails!

Couple of pics from yesterday. Nothing to exciting, had trouble finding much around me that was open. Should get into some fun this weekend though.

Took the jeep out today! Had some fun before it got to hot. Impressed with how it rode! Definitely need a locker in the rear, but that's a bit down the road.

Went out for a drive today. Nothing special but some great views. Found some nice trails about 10 minutes away from home! Score.....

Installed some rear seat covers. Ordering front covers and hood vents on Friday. Long term plans will be a 8.8 rear swap, 4.56 gears and a locker in the rear end. Gonna install the bushwacker flares this weekend. Before axle and gears I'll be doing some armor. Sliders, f&r diff covers and front skid plate. The list is always growing.

Picked up some of this good stuff Monday. Good project for Sunday to redo the rocker panels.
