Got some work done today. Fresh oil, wired up the lights and put a hotter thermostat in for winter (heater sucked with the old one). Oh and I also put this sticker on for my passangers

Do you still have the rear swaybar in and is the front disconnected? Your jeep should flex way more than that!

The rear is out left the front on for this pic cant flex it out too far cuz the front brake lines are too short fer the lift. Should be getting sum new ones soon. I do have quick discos for the front tho.

Hmmm... Maby its because the front was still connected. It just seams like the rear should flex more than that. Is your shackle on left side hitting the body or somthing? This is mine with a 3" lift. I can still go higher but i gota bumpstop first. Rear tires were still planted firm on the ground.

well the pic with the vacuum line is what controls the modes in the HVAC box so if you hook that up to engine vacuum you should be able to change where it comes out again
