Bama-JK,
Thanks a lot for making me drool!
Looks freakin' awesome! I know of a mudhole that you should try now...lol, I bet you know which one I am talking about....
I will be in Pennsylvania until Monday to see my outlaws, but I will be wanting to take a real look at it the next week. So, did you get any wheels spacers, or do the 15's fit fine with no rubbing?
Oh, looks like I will get a used set of windows for a shipping fee only, so that should get me by for a while. There are some great people on this site.
I wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Be safe!

Hey guys I'll be installing the 2.5" teraflex coil lift tomorrow.. Are there any tips or things I can do to make for an easier install? For now I'm just going to install the track bar relocation bracket on the rear, but might end up putting on new adjustable track bars in the future. thanks

If you can't get those springs in, call for RedRecon (aka: The Gorilla). He doesn't mess around, he'll get them coaxed on!!

Use coil/spring compressors if you can lay your hands on some (I hear you can borrow/rent them from some auto parts stores). And on that relocation bracket, get ready to file, drill, or just pound it with a big hammer in order to get it to fit.

You haven't seen the half of it. Search on the guy's screen-name, Dildo (yea, seems a little bit over the top, but that's the name he's chosen). He's posted a bunch of threads with some great pics - really has totally changed my perception of Mexico's topography. Some absolutely beautiful scenery and countryside in his pics.
A couple more pics showing why I think he has the baddest 2DR JK on the forum . . . it's not just how it looks, but also where he wheels it.

Make sure you crank those bolts on the shocks pretty good when you put them back on - had some squeaking there also as they loosened up slightly a week or so after the lift install.
Did you go with new shocks, or adapters?

Yes, absolutely!! Finally re-tightened ALL of them back several days later when I heard some squeaking from the rear - turns out I forgot to re-tighten several of them due to the lateness in the evening, and my exhausted mental state.
