Not opposed to transferring tpms but since I sold my wheels and tires I am not paying $100 to break them down and mount them back up. Just not that important to me.

I feel you brother. I guess that's where we differ. We were doing so good to. Lol.

Thank you, and yes that is what I meant. I am using the mobile app on my phone and it likes to autocorrect for me.

I asked because that is the lift I am about to order with a set of 37" nitto trail grapplers and wanted to make sure I had enough clearance.

Finally have the jeep back and all seems to be good. The rear abs sensor needed to be shimmed 45/1000 of an inch. That is what was causing the lights to come on. Her are some more pics in better light.

I like it. I think I can do some adjustments with the rear arms and dial it in a bit better. I also think a new muffler is in my future since the relocated sway bar is basically touching the stock one. Overall I am happy with it.

I've been following your build, loving the choices. I have a set of those 2x2" LED spots coming in, and I was wondering what mounting brackets you used here?

Also, who makes that switch panel there, probably the best looking one I've seen.
