Default my suspension build on my 2 dr rubicon

here is the deal.... i just purchased a used 09 2dr. rubicon auto only 3k miles. it already had installed OME 618/619 coils and ome shocks, cam bolts and rear track bar bracket. the coils are the 4 dr HD coils and the jeep has around 4'' of lift. i ordered front and rear JKS adjustable track bars, JKS front and rear end links and a new steering stabalizer. i still plan on doing the front and rear adjustable control arms, bilsteins and brake lines. soooo...... im pretty pissed about the shitty cam bolts that the previous owner installed and i guess i have to fix that issue before before i install the control arms. if anyone has any helpful infor to help me with my build, i would greatly appreciate it. thanks. chris

that ome kit put your 2 door on up there. I have no idea about the cam bolts though what size tire are you looking to run? And what control arms are you thinking about going with. Are those lt shocks are not?

Extended bumpstops?

And the cams shouldn't be a huge deal. Find a shop to pull them and weld some washers over the holes. Some people have even just welded the cams in place ad added the adjustables.
