Heres some pics when I was checking the flex.
The right rear tire is exactly 36" from the ground and the right front coil is unseated. The jeep isn't fully flexed out either cuz the front shock boots were still on the shock body when I took these pics. The following weekend I did a run with 20 of the members on here and it flexed sooo much that the shock boots got pulled off the body.
With the longer links in the front I was able to use the e-disco without any problems if the links flipping and getting bent

I got just about 3" of lift but I have a 1.25" body lift to clear my 37's. Oh technically I don't have a complete rk lift kit, it originally was a tf 2.5 kit but the front springs sagged and didn't have that much flex. So I swapped the front tf springs for rk ones
