what do the experts see
I took a few pictures under the jeep. So what do you see? Is what should be level level? What should be connected connected. Anything that should be different?














Hard to tell from the pics, but...
Front pinion angle looks low (no caster correction? How does it handle?)
Front swaybar doesn't look level (you moved the stock rear links up front?)
Rear brake lines look like they will be very tight when flexed (make a bracket, if you don't go with extended lines)

Everything nthinuf said, plus, I'd check your rear shocks to see if there is any travel in them. With the spacers on top of ome springs= more lift than those shocks can handle, they are probably topped out or close to it. Also, your emergency brake cable, did you mount it back to the stock hanger or did u unhook it and let it droop. If not, unhook it. Again as nthinuf said, you need to address the rear brakelines or your first wheelin after will not be so fun.Get some slack in the abs/esp lines while you at it.

Longer links where put up front (will the JKS adj disconnects take care of this?)
I do have the Crown extended brake lines on order
It is a little flighty going down the highway (proper correction for this ??)
Front adj lower control arms will get your castor back

I plan to order rear upper control arms with David at Northridge Monday. Arte the JKS's the way to go?
If you look closely at the silver part of the brakeline bracket, you'll notice that it is bent outward? This happened the first time I went out to check the flex/binding/lines/etc after the lift. This is with extended crown lines from northridge. The extra black bracket you see is in the pic was added in addition to the crown lines.

Since you have spacers also, be sure to double check this.
Yep, JKS adjustables are great.
Also, it does not look like you installed extended bumpstops? That is something you will definitely want to address when you start disconnecting.
