Thanks!

So would most of you guys bleed the rear brakes as well even if I am only replacing the lines on the front?

Ya nice pics guys! It is weird very similar. It won't be that bad CJ just get someone to help ya so they and pump the brakes well you crack the bleeders open. A few good rounds of that and you should be all good. I don't really know if you will have to do the back ones too? I won't think so but i haven't played with brakes a whole lot to give you a for sure correct answer on that one.

Got it finished up...all except bleeding the right front caliper after my buddy stripped the **** out of the bleeder. 2 hour job is turning into a big pain in the ***.

On a side note...the shocks are too long and I currently have about 3 inches of up travel on the shock...not sure how that is going to work out.

Cj that might not be good if ya only have 3 inch of upward travel i would think it would limit your flex just like it did when they were to short.

Well I just went out for a test drive, it flexes out crazy...unseats the coils by 4-5 inches. Uploading photos now.

I know the shocks are a few inches to long but I plan on going up an inch or so with some new coils in the future...so I think they will be fine for now and work even better in the future.

Here are some pictures. The shocks have a built in bumpstop on the top of them and it is fully compressed on the uptravel side. Down travel has increased quite a bit, previously would just barely unseat the coil and now it unseats it ALOT.

Just out in the country .....

Thanks man, it does pretty good

I am sure if I get in the right situation or on the right kind of obstacle it will flex even more.
