This is how I ride on the streets, before I head out to the trails I'll adjust 1" up front and 1.5" at rears to compensate gears / spare / full trektop.

Drives smooth / very stable, like a chevy tahoe or SUV, and these coilovers eats bumps pretty nicely. For example, there's an inclined railroad crossing that everyone slows down to 10-15 MPH, the Jeep likes to go like 40mph over the RR crossing..
I had the 4" EVO plush coils with bilstein 5160s, those were great but were not adjustable and were a little taller than were the Jeep sits now.

Yes, they are 18's. 3.0x18triple bypasses and 2.5x18 coilovers at each corner. We don't have it dialed in yet to get every inch of travel - we need to cut some more sheet metal first and fab up some high clearance fenders. (We are trying to keep the center of gravity as low as possible.) Thanks for the comments!

Yes, Old Sluice. You could do the main Rubicon trail on your current set-up, but Old Sluice would be pretty tough on 35's. I would be more comfortable on 37's with 2 lockers, but that's just me.
