Those shocks are beautiful, I’d be a little worried about the potential damage to the reservoirs from rocks though. They seem a bit vulnerable.

Yeah that crossed my mind as well. I think I can rotated them 180 degrees and then it will be on the tire side as long as there is clearance it should work. The thick short stiff lines to the reservoir don't give me to many options.
Only found one picture of them in another position. Looks like it can be done but pretty tight.

OK rolling on 37's now! Amazingly the 4" back spaced wheels seem to work so far. I'll need to trim the stock rock slider for clearance and trim the rear pinch weld but the front is non rubbing and looks good. After that minor stuff I'll do some flexing and bump stop adjustments.

And I'm still running the $150 wheels I got from you! But that is going to change when my wallet stops crying.

The problem with owning a machine shop is I make way to many things that I can buy. I whipped up these rear bump stops out of Delrin after figuring out the height.

Well I finally got my swaybar situation sorted. The factory Rubi one was hitting on the aftermarket track bar bracket. So now I have a Teraflex single stage that disconnects with a turn of a knob. On road to the trails I swear its better than a bone stock Rubicon. Dead flat and solid feel that I'm real happy with.
