I don't think there is a section for this lol.

maybe i am off a little but this all sounds like a horrible idea. no extended lines? no shocks? no steering modifications? super stiff springs that don't even look like the seat very well on the body side....

This picture needs to be added to the flex pics thread. It is competing with the forklift pretty good.

I would like to see a flex shot now and again after you get the right parts to show others who try to walk down this path

Ill do that and these coils are a lot nicer than people give them credit for I am in the process of installing a rough country 4.5 in kit on another xj and I ran those coils for a couple days and didn't like them nearly as much as the bronco coils most of the people who talk badly about them never ran them but then again because this xj is a trail rig I have only used them offload and for everything I have seen so far I couldn't be happier with them I would have held off until I had the right parts but my 33s are going bald and I have a set of 40s im going to try out

Why are you putting a 4.5 on another when yours isnt even done yet? This pic of your jeep has no drOp brackets. You should just forget the bastard pack and get a real lift. 8 inch lift on stock arms is retarded. I've never seen anyone even try it. Spend the extra money and do it right or you prolly don't want to take anyone wheeling

Sounds like a good mud truck...not so much a rock crawler. Aren't mud trucks stiff and all that. Btw, that school bus made me relive stupid teenage offroad aspirations lol.
