Dropped off at TnT Customs in Cheyenne a few weeks back. They added their new front bumper, full sliders and bed lined behind the sliders. Also Installed the Zeon 10K w/synthetic rope and Baja designs Squadron pro's, replacing the factory halogen fogs.

Installed Mopar sidesteps. With only 500 miles on my new Rubicon I have a bunch of rock dings in my rear door hinges. No more of that now. I don't do any hard 4-wheeling so no worries about the steps getting torn off. I know some people put protection on the hinges but dang those rocks are sailing when they hit. Quite the "BAM" when they make contact, and where do they go then? With the steps stopping them all now, I am amazed by how many rocks are getting thrown (now I can hear every one, not just the ones that were aimed at the hinges). I chose the Mopar steps because they fill in the space below the fender the most. No spots for rocks to get thrown through.

Factory touchup paint appears to be on never ending backorder, at least for Hydro Blue. Luckily no rocks made it past the primer.

Installed a rear track bar leveling bracket and what a difference in the ride! It moved the axle side vertically about 3" to just about level.

Huge difference in the ride. If you lifted your Jeep and don't have one of these you should! All the sway in back end is gone and there was a substantial amount.

those sliders are rock solid, but man they were a bitch to install.. lot of drilling.
Got a lot of use on John Bull/Holcomb Creek

Couldn't get it in blue but HF has them 33% off this weekend and my back is grateful!
A little awkward to work with but still better than wrestling these tires on.

By design there isn't much of a working height window to get them lined up at least not with the four ohs.

The Skyjacker springs did not want to play nice with the upper coil isolators.
I had to shave the bevel off one to get the passenger side not to hit the bump stop tubes, and add that wedge to the driver's side to keep it off the bump stop tube.
Also put in Daystar bottom correction pads.
Still not completely straight tho.

Also added Teraflex ½" diesel spacers to the already there 1" spacers and still not satisfied with the rake. May have to add another 1" spacer or pick up some 6" coil springs.

Also put in Teraflex brake line relocation brackets. It took a bit to pry the brake lines from the two factory brackets but in the end, I don't have to worry about stretching them at full droop or flex. Adjusted the fad and locker lines accordingly too.
Only thing left up front is to get some more slack in the breather line at the axle and raise the terminal end to under the hood.

I thought you needed longer brake lines, not just brackets, with more than like 3.5” of lift?
When I put my 2.5” springs in I don’t think I could’ve safely stretched my brake lines any further than to squeak those springs in?
