Default Hood spacers and steering stabilizer

i know many people say its dangerous to have hood spacers, but i want to try it out. see if it made a big difference or not. 1inch rubber plugs used.

and steering is much better now, not as much play. no pic of stab though.

Gotta love that Pine Barrens mud..... Haha. I personally avoid the water pits (not trying to flood my XJ) lmao.

I can't wait to finish replacing my brakes so I can go back to the pineys with my Jeep lol. DARN SNOW!!!!

Don't talk to me about cleaning mud.... My Jeep is still CAKED in peanut butter mud from the last time I went to the pineys.

Idk when I'm going out there next in my Jeep.. All depends on the weather allowing me to throw some wrench time at my Jeep haha.

Default Lower, using the same suspenion

i was thinking about lowering my jeep about 2-3 inches. im too tall right now. i dont want to buy any new stuff. i was wondering if anyone has experience just cutting the front springs and removing leafs in the rear? if so what is the best way to go about it.
