800 miles on the lift already. I made sure everything was tightened up and took it in for another alignment now that the lift has settled. I'm planning round 2 of mods. I just have to decide how I want to carry my spare. That JCR rear bumper w/ swing out tire carrier might be the direction I go.
I finally washed it and put a ceramic coating on it. I also did a coating on the wheels and shock bodies. This is the first time I've done one myself so I'm interested in seeing how long it holds up compared to the professional CQUARTS Finest version.
Yeah, it's not as drastic in person. It does show towards the rear of the slider in front of the rear wheel wells. These were definitely built to accommodate guys running big tires and flexing. Both front and rear are just a little short where people will trim the stock slider and pinch...

Shrockworks. They are really nice. Each one has to weigh over 80 lbs+. They actually come a hair short from each wheel well, so I know some people will complain. I know they build them like that so people running big tires don't make contact flexed out. They are not much of a step, but I...
I picked it up today. I'm VERY impressed with the ride on this jeep. It is unbelievably streetable. It feels really planted for all this height and the Kings just soak up any flaws in the road. I'm still getting use to the height. It's a tall biatch.

I recieved the Shrockworks today. They are beefy and remind me a lot of my TnT sliders w/adventure step I had on my jku. Exactly what I was looking for. I didn't weigh them but each side felt at least 80 lbs.
