Haha that's fair. I feel like I can't quite claim all the new stuff until it get it out on the trails though

Finally back on its own weight. I think i like the ride height and it's got like a 2 degree rake. Now for all the ride height measurements, drive shafts sent out and all the small stuff hooked back up. Still long ways to go but a good small victory for today

I feel ya, I was agonizing over it when I ordered new axles on what to do. Time will tell how it shakes out. I don't have it back on the road yet with the new 38s but I think it will be a good fit for the 37-40s range for a off and on road combo. Im also a bit lighter with the 2dr so I think...

Ight so the front major components are all in. Control arms adjusted, measured for drive shafts, steering in and initially alligned, bumps in their final resting place. Springs and shocks are in. I have the new track bar but I'm gonna wait till I get it on its own weight to see if I need to make...

Ive got the same motor trans and gears combo you have. I thought the 4.88s with the 37s was a little much for regular road driving. Doing an axle swap now and kept the 4.88s after talking to robbie and kalen and i think it will be a good fit for the eventual move to 40s. You will by no means be...

From what i can tell it's just the fact that the TREs are so large and the tire rod mounts on top of the knuckle. If I was running 40s it would stuff better but really I'm only losing 2 inches. Yeah id like it to be perfect but it's not the end of the world. It's a pretty common problem on their...

Working on front axle adjustments. Bumps hit perfectly center, caster is set at 7. Ended up ordering an adjustable track bar since I'm about 2" farther driver than I'd like. Checking other clearances my main limfack right now is my drag link contacting my tie rod long before I'm getting to full...

I didn't request anything specific for the exhaust routing. Thats just where motec ran it. I did have them put in an exhaust cut out that is right around the transfer case area but doubt that had any effect on placement of the rest

Making some headway getting this rear axle placed. Think I may need to push it right just a little but so far I think I'm set with how far back it is and the pinion angle. Next to throw the rear shocks in and see what I have for bump stops to order. Everything clears. It's really tight but it...

Shocks came in today 🙌

Put these on today Waiting on the shocks to show up to set them up

Ok sounds like the main reference for forward setting is on the bump stops. Sounds good I'll go down that route

So this is roughly ride height. I guess it doesn't look too far off just wondering if there is a good starting point reference for how far forward to set this thing

Yeah I was seeing that same thing the yoke gets pretty close to the oil filter. Thanks for the heads up

Feel like I need to set the forward to aft placement first then I can set the pinion and caster angle. Just looking for a good reference to set that off of.
