Well a few more updates to list here.

I finished puttting the 1.75" pucks in my ZJ and painting it flat black

Also installed a glasspack

I bought a NP231 to swap over into my ZJ to replace my NP249 it was from a 96' XJ. I'm getting it rebuilt and putting a SYE onto it.

Rugged ridge SYE

And when I bought the SYE the owner of Adam's Driveshaft had some used 4.5" skyjacker lift coils for my ZJ for only a measly 100$ :woot:

Next up is some new front and rear adjustable trackbars, longer brakelines, longer shocks, new procomp 15x8 black steelies and some 33's - 35's, and a HP30. And of course some IROR or clayton longarms.

Total lift with the pucks and springs will be a little over 6"
