Thanks for the input on the Skyjackers but they raise the rear to high.
After much research and reading through this post (http://forums.offroadtb.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=870) many times I changed things up a bit and ordered a set of BDS 55619 rear shocks


Just so you know there was another Bilstein alternative shock which I'm pretty sure a lot of us are running including myself...

Call it the Cheep badge.

I do like what you did with the front bumper, the valance fills that area in nicely. Rear is interesting to say the least, but looks like it could be effective.

I have my grill in black n white too, but the crossbar is black w airbrushed skulls and rest is white. Does llok good, but the jeep logo turns me off. Maybe if you ran rubi axles or something.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

Sorry, but that's not your problem....

You are trying to build a outside the strut lift, please continue researching before progressing with your lift.

Why? Some say inside spring some say outside. Want to put on 50 - 60lb guard on front for deer, also want it level. Open to suggestions.

He is 2 wheel drive so technically he is fine with outside of the strut spacers, but at the same time he is putting extra stress on the UBJ's by allowing it to travel down more so he should flip the UCA's.
