so im not feeling the 2.25" lift anymore and want something a little taller. so im thinking about doing the front to rear swap. i can get new front coils for liek 30$ from the jy and just uses spacers that i have up front. all i would need is a adjustable front track bar and a relocation bracket for the rear track bar

Wire wheel on a drill if you want to get it real good. They make different types of wire wheels too.....some of them aren't even wheels.

I know your jeep is silver and all, but just looks a bit weird IMO. I'd go black!

well my front to rear swap and tires have to go on the back burner for now until i can find time to replace the transfercase seal and rear trans seal. i guess when me and my buddy swapped the tcases we forgot to lube up the shaft and that may have caused damage to the seals. heres the thread i started it has a video inside also. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f5/help-please-52661/
