As much as it sucks to let the jeep go I wanted to get rid of it for a newer better running one anyway. It will give me some time to save for a good one I won't be throwing all my funds into. Worst part of it all is we have 2 small kids 5 & 3 involved. Hopefully we can be civil and not rip each others heads off with this. Thanks though guys for the CF support!

Well, if you're ok with letting it go, that's different, hope you find another one quickly, it will help you by keeping you busy. And, yes, I think your kids are the ones that get the short end of the stick on this one. It sucks that you have 2 little ones involved, but remember them when issues get hot between you and your now ex. Be the better person and know when, where and how to respond to any issues you have with her, and most of all, be there for your kids. It's no fault of theirs, make sure they know that as they grow. Really feel for you, bud, been there and done that, also with a young 'un, and she grew up great because I was there for her. She's older and out on her own now, and she knows who the better person was/is. Wishing you strength in your tough times.

Called the shop. They're pushing back to tomorrow. Removing the ABS took longer than they thought, but the compressor is in and fits well! The rear upgrade is done; they just need to reinstall and test drive. I might be able to take it out to a Mojave desert run this weekend after all!

Castor angle looks off - the spring is bent towards the front of the truck. Stock control arms with a lift?

While the castor angle does look to be incorrect I'd contribute that issue more to the links being too short. I have stock length control arms on a 3" lift and have no issues with my sway bar hitting my spring. I run much longer JKS disconnects. If the links were longer and your castor is set correctly it wouldn't even be close.
