I am running the bumps too, but I haven't checked the pressure yet. I've only had them for a month and I don't own a proper gauge yet.

This one is a long shot, but anyone on here with a 2dr that did a 3.5" spring wish for a shorter lift? Or a 2.5" lift 4 dr in the same position?

I've got 2.5" 2 dr springs installed in my 4dr and am thinking of going up to the next rate springs looking for someone who would like to swap.

Cool. Just set all the shocks and bumps to 80 psi. Will see how it does. Still wondering about the track bar bracket one said it will be fine but others have said it will hit. May order the evo bracket but hope to see some pics of some set ups

I have a feeling my springs are sagging a bit - the rake looks a little more pronounced to me. Maybe it's just in my head.
I have a 3.5" GC lift. When I measure the front top shock mount to the center of the lower shock bolts, I get exactly 22" - so I'm netting 3.5" of lift. Seems a little low to me. I thought it was closer to 5" when first installed 3yrs ago. I'm running a brawler lite bumper, warn 9.5cti with synthetic rope.

Thoughts?

I have to raise the front nearly 2" to make my jeep level. Putting level on my sliders, lower door jams, and the lower ledge of the windows on doors (not sure where the best place is to level).

Mine has a rake to the front as well. I was thinking its may be because I don't have a rear bumper or spare tire in the back. I'm waiting to put those on before I check again.

You realize you're posting this stuff in a 7 year old thread with 2600 replies in it right? Not sure it's relevant or helpful in this particular location even though this is a Metalcloak related thread.

Just saying man....if you want to add content and want people to see it, maybe you should start a new thread where it might be useful to someone. It's just a black hole where it is now. Do as you please.
