seems like reason enough to run bump stops even with stock tires to me.

Looks perfect. Nice stance with the front where it should be. If you want the back a little higher only go 0.5 or 1 inch higher.

It appears you are running the HD coils up front and the SD coils in the back. I have HD (618 & 619) 2.5 OME all the way around. Are you running a steel bumper in the rear? If so, you'll see some sag. My HD coils don't sag much at all and I'm running steel everything (Gobi rack, PJ rear bumper with a 35 on it, skid plates, and LOD rockers...with that said, it looks fine.

It's funny you mentioned that because I was just on the northridge website and ran out to double check that I have the spring numbers right. Sure enough HDs in front and SDs in rear. Stock bumpers though front and back.

I guess that's what I get for buying used and not checking the stuff carefully. It didn't help that I had only had the Jeep for a couple weeks so I wasn't quite as versed in JKU parts and what to look for.
