Thanks, I went with Rusty's because they have softer springs. It's a daily driver so I didn't want to abuse my kidneys getting to work. So far so good but lately I have the itch to go 4.5" longarm...

I'm not sold on more lift yet. Either way I will be running 35's when my axles are done. I'm not sure if I want to cut like a madman or go to 4.5"

Low cog is always a good thing but to be honest with you I don't want to deal with driveline angles, bad shackle angles and all the other BS that goes along with additional lift. With bump stops and serious trimming I should be able to pull it off. I may add another 1" of lift front and rear.

You're like me. I have an 01 and my rear end is around 3.5-4" lift. My TC drop can only do so much I need an SYE soon. I want to shim y rear axle in a few also to help some

Thanks guys. I've been doing more thinking and researching on this build. My previous projects I hacked first and calculated later, this way seems to be working out much cleaner

You can request your build sheet here:
http://www.jeep.com/wccsapp/universa...ull&category=U

Just ask them to email you a build sheet in the comment box.
