Some days I think my middle name is overkill... I have to admit going with the front full bumper is mainly cosmetic. Sorry, I just can't get into the stubbies. I may hate myself in 6 months and swap it out. But I think with the the Expo One sitting a bit higher it will give me a bit better approach angle over some of the other options. For now I plan to bump, slide and grind along on the trails. With the LAs, Elka's etc it should ride great both on and off road. The odometer will be spinning this summer.

It's done 
Picked up after work last night. In just the little bit of driving last night I can already tell it drives like a dream. Much better than stock. When I started the build I jokingly challenged Ben at TeraFlex to make it ride like my Camry. In reality it actually comes very close and in some ways, corning especially it is better. 
I took some measurements before the lift and after. (both sides were within 1/8 so I'll just list one number.)
before:
front - 34 inches
middle of the door - 23 inches
rear - 36 inches
After lift and bumpers etc.:
front - 39
middle of the door - 25 1/2
rear - 38
With the weight of the bumpers etc I netted 2 1/2 inches at the door. Just what I was hoping for. We didn't need to add any spacers on the front to take out the rake. But did go with wheel spacers so the rear sway bar links could be on the outside.
I was dodging rain showers last night to get some pics. There is a bit of slop on the road so it makes it almost look like the front is too high. It is level though.
The PureJeep sliders look and will be great!
Now to wheel like a mad man and put it all to good use. Next puzzle is type of wheel and tire set up to go with next winter.

I'm sure it rides great, I'd love to have Elka's on mine. But I will say that I think it looks odd with the 32's on there. Plus, the front end is sitting higher than the rear.

It is actually right on level front to back. The spot in front of the house has a fair amount of slope. And come to think of it the take off parts were still in the back so that didn't help either with the look. I would have parked the other way but with the sun light worked better the way it is pictured. When I first saw it last week with the lift on I wondered the same too. But a quick measure solved that Q.
