Wow!
Wow I love it! Looks good! It's on the top of my wish list of things to do with mine! Did you Mopar it or aftermarket? And did you ask if it voids your powertrain warranty (read that on a sticky)?

Now lift causing ball joint failure .... sure on my dime and me not expecting them to be on the hook for that. They did my 5:13 gears. With that done stress on my trans has been reduced so they are understanding of that.

Geez juuust over a months time I Geared it , lifted it , gusseted it , and now the payoff .. Pintlers and 35's! Gotta swap over to the soft top 
If I can get to it in storage that is. Waayyyy psyched. Speaking of payoff better send in that card payment 
Update:
Did some test flexin today! Figured it to be best to test close by then out on the trail. ZERO rubbing anywhere
Altho I need to get myself a set of rear brake lines as they get a wee bit "Taught" shall we say. Went home and retourqued the entire Jeep. Not one issue.

No oh no no. What I was sayin' is that IF the Ball Joints were to go bad I wouldn't expect the dealer to have to warrantee them as the lift altered the geometry of the front end (Additional loading from the offset of the rims). I did the lift ... therefore I am responsible for that.
But if they blame the lift for say my Radio takin' a powder ... that doesn't relate.
Just like the Gearsets relieving the additional stress of the 35" tires on the Drive train. The 35" tires without any mods to the gearsets may entice a dealer into blaming the cause on the 35" tires for a forward clutch burning up. (35" up from OEM 32" is under the 10% bigger rule of thumb) And the Gearsets compensate for way more than a 10% additional stress load.
