How much lift did each of your rear leaf components give you? I want/ will need relo brackets eventually and I'm trying to decide how to piece it all together. I'm thinking FST low pro ones, keep my RC adj shackles and 2" leaf packs.

5/8" from the relocation brackets
1/2" ish from the dakota shackles
3.5"± from the bastard packs.

No work being done on the jeep lately. Just been driving it. Soon will come some maintenance items but nothing major as I'm forbidden from spending money on the jeep before the wedding
. I have a few mods in the wings though - 136amp alternator and wiring upgrades are ready to go in - just need to get battery terminals and the circuit breaker. Shifter ***** i have everything for. Steering box brace is ready to go in.
Been putting some thought into axles lately, and I've pretty much decided what I want to do.
Front Axle: Jana K4 - using a narrowed hp44 housing, alloy waggy length inner shafts, chevy knuckles, chevy stub shafts, and JK44 gears (larger and stronger than d50 gears)
Rear Axle: Either an Ford 8.8" or a Ford 9" - needs more research
...This is way in the future though

If you do a 9", go HP. Otherwise I think they are a ***** to deal with and the 8.8 has a ton of support and is easy to work with.

f that noise. I'll run a pinion guard and call it good. Point is not to spend mad coin on pricey fab housings or 3rd members
No, I don't lick fish.
