Good plan. If the front should need to be leveled out, can stack one additional 'coil spring isolator' on each side for 5/8" lift. (I have these too if you should need them, lol).

That is a good idea. If my front springs do settle too much, I have been eyeing the ACOS which seems like a pretty good product.
I am pretty sure though with the addition of the tire carrier rear bumper and tire, OBA, highlift jack, spare driveshafts etc, I should have enough weight to level things out a bit.

If he has lifted springs (more arch) on stock shackles ... there is the problem.

I ordered the Rubicon Express boomerangs. Might give me a bit of lift, but after I get my rear tire carrier bumper on and a 33" spare, will probably set me back level again.
Guess I will just set this weekend out. Will give me a bit more time to play with my new Phantom Drone and learn how to use it so I can take some epic wheeling video's

Jeepers need Star Trek teleporters for sure.

Update: boomerang shackles installed, problem fixed. Didn't raise it as much as I feared, definitely more flexy. Good upgrade.

Good to hear! Now have a look at rear driveshaft to pinion angle. Should appear to be straight. Longer shackles will rotate axle, pointing pinion upwards, usually beneficial with a lift. Should be fine but is worth looking at to make sure.

Just an FYI, the Otto-Max leaf springs that Claytons sells are excellent leaf springs. I run them and have been incredibly happy with them.
