4 Inch lift and 35's done
Some install notes:
Getting the taller springs in was a breeze. YOu just need to disconnect BOTH shocks and sway bar links. The axle will then fall plenty to pop both of them in.
With the 2.5 inch TF BB I had rubbing issues on the front air dam. That is no longer a problem and I have no rubbing issues anywhere on the street.
The 2.5 inch links in the rear are still working great for the 4 inch lift but I will need to get longer sway bar links for the front. The stock ones are too short for the front of the wrangler and will hinder off road performance but will work on the street with the rubi sway bar. These will limit the droop in the front only.
The TF BB bumpstop extension wont be needed with the longer springs with proper shocks.
The Jeep does not wander with the taller springs. Its great. In fact no control arms will be needed anytime soon. I will be running stockers for a while. I do need longer brake lines but I was able to get a lot of slack out for the brake sensor lines.
WIth the axle properly centered with beefy JKS trackbars there is no rubbing from and of the lift kit parts. There was when I was running stock track bars.
After the 4 inch springs installed I gained 2 inches up front and 1.5 inches in the rear. That is a total of 4.5 inches up front and 4 inches in the rear when you figure in the old 2.5 inches that the TF BB gave me.

Thanks, he is a pretty amazing kid and he loves the Jeep. As I am sure most parents think their kids are special but man my son is the life of the party anywhere we go.
