It does leave a bit of a gap, I know personally.

I just didn't want to get springs twice. Once some 37s go on it will look much more "right", if thats the term. Its just fine for now, I don't need bump stop extensions so there is tons of room for flexing. I'll need about 2-2.5" bump stops once I get bigger shoes for the jeep.

Glad I'm not too worried about what others think of my JK, I don't judge others based on their rigs

Had to get on the laptop real fast, my tires are about 50% out so I'm hoping 37s by fall. Just did fenders two weeks ago, the weather was really nice and I was bored.

Here you go op

Yeah had to buy spring retainers in the front. The shocks just barely keep the coils from binding.

I have tested it both ways with a lift at work. Definitely need control arms to get the angles right before 37s, that way the suspension moves in that nice arc motion
