Quick question:
My JKU have 3/4" coil spacers (Daystar) in the front and the back. It also have 1.5" wheel spacers (G2) in the front and the back. I just put on yesterday, new 285/70R17 Toyo Open Country AT2 on the original Moab wheels.
My question is; how come my back passenger wheel/tire is sticking out about 1/2" more then the driver side? Also, how come the passenger front wheel is sticking out about 1/4" more then the driver side???

Because these jeeps have track bars fronts and rear. As the suspension goes up and down it also moves slightly to one side. With a small coil spacer lift you've actually moved the axles to one side permenently. When you start getting into the bigger lifts you have to get longer track bars.

You can leave it at that height but depending on how much down travel you have (flex) and if you are running stock drive shafts, it will cause a shaft to fail. From what you posted on your lift, you will be fine. In the future if you go bigger, you would need to look at getting adjustable front and rear trac bars to re center your axles and driveline.

What steering box did you go with? I'm about to go hydro and have been looking at the "redneck ram" over psc.

Refurbished 2008 box with a 3 year warranty. I went with a 2008 box so I can rebuild it down the line if the need arises. I am drilling and tapping this box myself for hydro assist. You can port the box yourself with $5 in fittings.
