Default 2015 JKU coilover build

Hi guys
I finally got all my parts in and started the build
figured I would share

1st off I wanted a coilover kit that was well build but not high as this is my wifes jk and she loves going to glamis and I enjoy both glamis and rock crawling.
so I needed a shock that wouldn't fade after long high speed trips. so I opted with the rebel bracketry and king came up with some 2.5" coilovers that would suit the build.

build sheet to include

currently swapping out spring rates
I think we will end up at 200/250 front and rear by the time we are done.

You might want to adjust the tune rings so that you can take advantage of the dual rate.

Those tires almost look like they will hit the reservoir at full lock?

Looks like your shocks are going to bottom out before the bump stops.
