I want to do exactly what you did!

So I have some questions lol

Did you swap out the shocks? What about trac bar and break lines? How is the ride?

I dig it!

Went from 14/56 to 17/59 and clear my 35's no problems with my flat fenders. I'm pretty sure they would clear, or be close with the stock flares. The spring swap got me around 1.5" up front and .75" or so in the back. Sits pretty close to level now, I'm happy with it for now lol. Click image for larger version

Edit - I will be trimming the pinch seams and Rubi rails in the rear before long, it clears but it's very close.

Pitbull,

Very nice. Did you use the TF 1.5" leveling kit?

Thanks!

I installed Rubicon take off shocks, the coils, a TF 1.5 in leveling kit, and 1.5 in wheel spacers. I recentered my steering wheel and had the front end aligned afterwards.

I did all of this in my driveway using two jacks and two jack stands. While I was down there, I went ahead and painted my differential covers and brake calipers (red) and my muffler/tailpipe (black).

Got a flashpaq 3872 to fix speedometer and some grabars to help my bride get in and out.

No track bar, bumpstops, shock extensions, or brake line extensions. The ride actually improved some.

I'm still in the process of finding just the right tire pressure (i work 7 on/7 off). I'm doing the chalk test at 26lbs in the morning.

I actually got that stubby from another Jeeper, saved me from having to cut mine and I was able to Craigslist it. Somebody who needed it took my stocker off my hands. It was win-win. I'll run it like this until I upgrade my bumpers sometime down the road.
