Finally getting some more things done to the Jeep. Just installed Method Racing D105 Beadlocks, and Nitto Trail Grapplers 35's. Just waiting on the rest of my lift to come in to install it and get the 4:88's installed.

I haven't taken it off road yet so not sure. The Rancho kit only came with the front bump stops, pretty sure it will rub pretty good without any rear bump stop. I think the front will be OK. I am going to measure what I need next week. I just swapped out the rear spring spacers today for 2" Icon coils, it raised the back up about 1/2". I also added a Synergy rear track bar.

I finally got some time to install the coilovers and rear resi shocks. I still need to lower the front end, install the correct length bumpstops, add new swaybar links, and make a brake line bracket. It drives completely different now, it is a great ride. I can't wait to take it wheeling at Rausch! Wish I did the rear coilover also, maybe in the fall if I can fit it in the budget.

Got a few more things done this week. Welded up a Artec truss, installed rear bumpstops and rear swaybar links. 5:13's are going in today and I should be swapping the axle on Friday. Also got Synergy lower control arms, front track bar, drag link, tie rod, sector shaft an track bar brace.

I haven't posted here in a while.I added an Antirock in the front, it is great! I am going to look at replacing the rest of the control arms soon to increase flex, add the rear antirock, lockers, and a few other things hopefully in the spring. Got to test it out at Rausch a few weeks back, performed great. i did blow up a rear shock though...
