Be advised, I had to cut and reweld the pax side exhaust spacer to the same size as the drivers for mine to work. The joint wouldn't line up and hung below the crossmember.

I'm not really worried about it. I'm having a 4x4 shop that does this work all the time. Actually when I went in there today to schedule a appointment they had a TJ that had the series II left just put on in the parking lot.

These guys do it all the time. I'm going to drop it off next friday morning at 8 and hopefully they will be done for lunch so I can bring them a few pizza's for the good work.

I would take a look at it before you leave the shop. If it's below the crossmember, you should make sure those spacers are aligned in the pipe.

I checked the underside out. It looks good. I don't think they had to weld anything.

Default Rear sway bar rubbing brake lines

I have this lift installed, but have noticed that the rear sway bar now rubs the brake line coupling where it goes from tubing to flexible hose. It looks like if I take off the bracket extensions it won't rub, but then I won't have the articulation. Is there anyone else having this problem?

Default Front and Rear Bumper

I just purchased a SmittyBilt Atlas front and rear bumper with tire carrier for my 2008 JKU. Can someone running a similar setup tell me if they lost alot of height due to the weight or are the springs stiff enough to not really notice? If so how did you counter this? Thanks in advance

I wound up installing a 4" lift JKU right rear spring onto my 2 door JK. The bumper with tire carrier brought the rear down, especially the right considerably. Enough so that it raised the left front. All was good after I put the spring in. I have since removed the tire carrier and kept the bumper. She sits even L/R with the rear a tad up, which I like, so I can sit level with my trailer/pax/gear.
