Gang,

Want to get some of your input so that I can get things squared away. I have a 2 door with HD Old Man Emu springs and shocks. I have JKS track bars up front and in the back. End links up front are take offs from another JK's rear.

What I'm looking at adding to the mix are bump stops front and back, brake line extensions for the rear and LCA for the front end.

Million dollar question is.....what else or am I good to go? One concern I have is that the front swaybar is awfully close to the spring (see attached pic). Not sure if adding the LCA moves the axle forward or backwards??? Moving forward could cause an issue, backwards would give me more tolerance...

I value opinions of many of the experts on this forum and look forward to your replies!

Just looked my sway bar links and there is maybe a 1/2" of clearance. Doesn't look like they have ever rubbed. I would add rear upper arms for better adjustability of the whole suspension. Also look at quadratec's extended brake lines. I prefer those over exstensions.

Anyone? Lookling at the tolerance I have up front between the sway bar and spring, I'm thinking that I'll have issues with the adjustable LCA's? If the LCA moves the axle forward im thinking it will make the spring come in contact with the sway bar...no???
