Shock boots came already installed, I may end up getting longer shocks later on. Now I just need to get some adjustable control arms to move the axle forward.

Looks good.
Regarding the inserts. They will need to be capped or the bump tower will need a disk attached to it. Otherwise the tower will be wearing the inserts like a skirt.

I welded a plate to the tower. It's hard to tell from the pictures. Its a 2.3" disk

That's boarderline for the 1.5" ID of the insert. I think it will be prom night for those two when you bottom out..
But this is how we learn, experimentation.

Well the ID of the top of the coil spring was 2.5 so I couldn't have made it any bigger other coil wouldn't have fit

Some of our bump tower cups are threaded and with a stud on the disk it will screw in after the coil is in.
Or, use threaded 1 1/2" pipe attached to disk and cap the inserts. The pipe length would determined by where you need the final stop to be (up-travel).
Message me for any more details.

Yeah I checked to see If it was threaded but it wasn't. If it gets stuck on the tower then I'll just pull it off, did it with my last set up.

The weight of snow and ice from our latest snow storm knocked out the power at work this morning so they sent us home. This of course required taking the long way home. Meaning a couple hours on back roads that had yet to be plowed blasting through 1-2ft drifts ect. so yes it was playtime. then this afternoon I went out and finally picked up a CB for the jeep.
