Also wanted to apologize for the blurry and bad photos… my phones camera was broken for a while.

Moved on to the front... went with the heavy duty front coils (from moog I think) and 1 inch spacers to get it level with the rear. I made the mistake of not using a ratchet strap to keep the front axle from moving when I disconnected the LCAs

Boy was the axle a PIA to get back into place. The jeep was parked in the garage and I had nothing to pull on... I tried a come-along that was rigged to a post out a window but couldn't get the axle to move far enough. What finally did it was three ratchet straps all connected to the front sway bar that I just kept inching along until I could get the bolts through the LCAs.

The new springs and shocks...

Also replaced the front sway bar end links and bushings... Jeep sat pretty close to level at this point so I installed my new Dynomax cat back exhaust that I bought for a steal on Mac Bid.

Quickly realized this wasn't going to work though as the longer shackle interfered with the tip of the exhaust...

I cut the tip off and welded it back on straight... problem solved.

First test drive went well!

Got all the trim and fender flares put back on... I had to drill out and weld in new stud onto the fender flare brackets because all of them broke.

Also installed all new speakers and a head unit from Crutchfield. Drivers side speaker wouldn't work so I did some investigating... turned out a wire was broken inside the door boot. Pretty common problem form what I have read. Anyway all speakers work as should after fixing that.

Passed inspection on the first try! Now it was time for wheels and tires... I decided to go with Rough Country steelies cause of the price... looked a while for tires before deciding..

Another glamour shot.
