After a trip to Idaho for the Silver Valley Jeep Jamboree, I decided I need to upgrade the cooling system. Getting a Flexalite direct replacement radiator and also their tranny cooler and see how it goes with the stock fan. Should have it in this
weekend.

If you're torn between the two. Just get the 37's. Ask me how I know. :-)

Added Rock krawler 12" rear shocks, teraflex speed bumps and synergy shock relocation brackets.

I'm getting my tires "road force" balanced as I type.

The tech didn't want to do it and didn't think it would work but he tried the spare just to humor me. So far, it seems to be working (finger's crossed).

Getting ready for the long trek to rubicon trail next weekend and I'm really hoping for a smooth, shimmy-free ride.

This is WAAAYYYY off topic, but I just read in your signature that you have Metalcloak 3.5" springs. How do you like them? Were they pretty true to size, as in, did they give you 3.5" 's/more/less? I'm thinking of going to them. I like the dual rate idea. I'm just torn between the 2.5" or 3.5".

I love them! Very long free length compared to the TF springs I had on my last jeep with the same length shock. These don't unseat or get loose even though I moved my rear lower mounts up a few inches.
I would say I got a little more lift - maybe closer to 4 or even more before adding my bumpers and winch.
They ride better than my last jeep with Same shocks, and way better than my buddies 4" full traction complete kit. I'm sure tires and pressure play a part in that.

I was torn between MC and synergy springs.
