Here are my plans for it. I currently have the following which will be installed soon.

No problem!

I just ordered some JKS sway bar discos. So those will be installed next week too! Can't wait to take this baby wheeling with all the new suspension components. :D

Tomorrow I'll be bringing my XJ into my freind Tom's auto shop to get the following installed:
3.5 inch coil springs from Rusty's off road
3.5 inch leaf springs from Rusty's
3.5 inch lift fixed upper and lower control arms from Rusty's
Rubicon Express 1600 adjustable track bar
Rubicon Express steering stabilizer
4 new hydro shocks with red shock boots from Rusty's
hood vents
stainless steel braided brake lines

Can't wait for it to be done! :D

Just dropped the Jeep off at my buddy's shop. Can't wait to post the after install pics!

Ordered one of these so I'll have a real recovery point on the rear. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...1469f11489.jpg
