Edit: Sorry, I was rude
No worries man, cliff notes...well
1. Skyjacker 4.5 inch lift, 3 inch rear spring and 4.5 front, normally $1,150, I paid about $900 because I opted out of the cheap shocks
2. Stock axles and gears stock 4.10... working great thus far with no plans to regear, this Jeep hauls A$$ faster than it ran stock
3. 40x13.50 cooper discover sst pro $430 each... love these tires, already have 5k miles with zero signs of wear
4. Black Rhino mag wheels bronze $230 each
5. XRC bumper...bargain price on black friday $269
6. Badlands 12k lbs winch, another black friday bargain at harbor freight was only $289.
7. Currently only running 2 inch shock extensions up front, full flex no issues
8. Rear flexes well but shocks are limited on down stroke to prevent my break lines from stretching, I have the brake line extensions and will add once I decide on shocks, maybe Bilstein just waiting on the right time and price
9. I made a rock guard for the winshield, my last three jeeps all had windshield damage so I made this mod the day I bought it

@Gladiation How did you set up the rear pinion on the rear axle? Did you eyeball the angle or use a specific angle with angle finder? I can't find info about this. Thanks, Ken.

Unless I missed something, I don't see how it's possible for a vehicle to go from stock 33" tires to 40" tires, not to mention adding weight like a winch and heavy steel bumper, and yet its FASTER than stock without regearing????
yeah, I am calling B.S. on that. It's just not possible.

So some kits have adjustable arms, this kit makes it simple because Skyjacker already did the math and made a fixed/non adjustable upper rear arm and lower front arm that put the pinion exactly where it needs to be, so no screwing or threading pipe..etc..etc..very simple
