Well at least someone benefited from it
Ok well last night I got my 1.5" angled lift blocks installed.........
Much better, and it sits perfectly.
However my extended travel shocks in the back now are not long enough. so I will do shorten the shock mount at the axle to make up for the 1.5" difference. Plus gain a little clearance underneath.
Now I am maxed out shock wise all the way around LOL.. This is the problem I guess when you only lift your truck 3in.
The only way to get more travel is to lengthen the shock mounting areas all the way around. Just not sure I want to mess with it at this point.

Good call, That first post tells you exactly what I mean if one is wiling to actually read it. I appreciate the link
All the hype about lockers always made me feel I needed them. Wheeling with about 150 people this weekend showed me how irrelevant they actually are for a street Jeep.
Now let me explain.....
Now let me explain.....
Now the reason I am posting this is for those of you like me who have been stressing because they were not locked. Feel they couldn't hang without being locked. I am here as a witness that they are actually very competitive IF you are set up in other areas being mainly tires/pressure/suspension.
Honestly I would love to have mechanical lockers. For me I think this would be great. But I just can't afford it right now, and its way down on the list because lockers are NOT the reason I can't go some places. Its that the tougher trails around here mainly require some form of body damage. And I am not wanting to do that. My jeep is a daily driver. And as I stated in my thread this is for daily drivers. NOT full on trail rigs.
