rough country install
Well let me start this by saying it was one hell of a day today going from a lowered civic....
Too a lifted jeep talk about night and day but all together I'm happy with the results....
So I started the day by building the leaf springs with Dorman springs my stock leaf springs were tired and I was worried they would sag or be lower then the front....
All built ready to go in....easiest part of the day but man I had know idea what I was getting myself into! Needless to say there was a lot swearing hitting of hammers, firing of torches, and a little pb blaster

I did the exact same lift on exact same jeep haha. I took door molddings off and just last night put a new header panel and grille on so the bezel and grille are black now like yours. My wheels are black stockers with wrangler radials 235/75/15 its crazy i feel like im looking at my jeep i painted my bumper end caps gloss black though really finishes the look. Now i hope you dont get the vibes i got with it. I did a tc drop and still have some decent vibes over 50 mph
