You still have awful ground clearance.
I ran half your lift with more tire, and lots of bumpstop (which was used not only when flexing, but on hard hits and landings).
4.5" lift, 35's, 8" travel shocks, stock upper location, raised lowers, bumpstops.
Bumpstops allow longer travel shocks, longer travel shocks allow more articulation.

no i go down my family's property and neighbors property when hunting to get deer when we have about 6+ inchs of snow on the ground and also just to have fun and scare the crap out of people bc it is so tight and drunk lol
I just don't understand why you say bumpstops are pointless without having any actual experience building a capable rig and utilizing them.

5. Angry eyes...just, whatever.
6. Shovel type front bumpers...nuff said.
7. Cold air intakes
9. JK rims on an xj. U think they rock, i think they look retarded. Thats just me.
12. Hood spacers...looks silly.
14. Homebrew sliders that kill ground clearance.
15. Dual steering stabilizers.
17. 'Rubicon' stickers on an XJ. Just go buy one and end the pain.
6- we like to call them "jay leno's chin" bumpers
7- most are actually hot air intakes
9- i can be a fan of that actually if its the right wheel.
12- looks silly, yes, but my black xj in the american southwest fully loaded with gear required them, it made enough of a difference to justify.
14-yup
15-yup, abolutely tarded'
17- i can agree to that

another 2 jk fender flares just saw a pic on this https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f59/rh...enders-138408/
and ugly hood vents or hood scoops they don't make you go faster like the 2 door with the jk flares

well i don't have them never had them the stock ones were gone when i got this one but can understand if you truly need them from blowing shocks and smashing your frame but i have no chance in doing that. but some people blow this topic way out of the ballpark bc they are afraid they might break something. well the only real way to find out is run you rig and do a test if you smash a shock or get into the frame then get them but some people blow there 40 to 100 dollars on something that won't help in anyway. now for the front i need to get bigger bump stops bc i can see that i can do some damage up front with shocks or body bc i want to upgrade to long arms and rehab the front lift with new coils and shocks

so your running a shock hoop on top and then the bottom is mounted on top of the leaf now i see why you would need bump stops that is a given for you i just hate people that say you NEED to have bump stops and most people don't bc they don't want to do the fab work like you did i like the setup tho
geez, some of you are awfully sensitive today, they are just peoples opinions.
im all for lots of bumper stickers, i love them, if i could cover my whole jeep in them i would. BUT, i cant stand when you see a truck with all the stickers from the ebay 5 gazillion pack of performance stickers for 30 bucks. I see the cars with 3 JEGS stickers, 2 comp cams stickers, a holley carb and 4 edelbrock stickers (on their fuel injected, completely stock powertrain) and all i can think is "WHY!?!" and also, the "pepboys special", any thing chrome that could stick on your car.
hey dude, yea you with the lowered s10-blazer on 24's and rubber band tires, you dont need 11 chrome "4x4" badges on your truck. i want to run you over.
