Well brown santa just left my office after dropping off the last of my parts. I'm currently running a 4.5" Trailmaster lift and after 65K+ miles it is fairly worn out. It started a coupld months ago with replacing my control arms with Rock Krawler arms. Went this route because was unable to get any replacement parts from Trailmaster. Then I purchased a set of Rock Krawler 2.0 reservoir shocks from a forum member that were brand new. These shocks were listed as for a 4-6" lift. When I got the shocks and went to install them I realized they were a little long for my lift.
With that I spoke with Tom and Jake from Smashboogie 4x4 and Justin at Rock Krawler and weighed my options and ended up deciding to retire my Trailmaster kit all together and upgrade my suspension lift to Rock Krawler 5.5" lift. I ordered all my parts through Smashboogie 4x4 who were great to work with and gave fantastic pricing on all the parts.
So now all my parts are in!!

Getting installed this weekend by Tom and Jake at Smashboogie 4x4 are

1. 5.5" Rock Krawler springs front and rear.
2. Rock Krawler ultimate steering kit- Heavy duty draglink and flip kit, new bomb proof trackbar and bracket plus a synergy chromoly tierod.
3. Rock Krawler bombproof rear trackbar and bracket.
4. Front and rear swaybarlinks, upper bump stops, front spring retainers, and rear poly correction wedges.

I'm stoked to get it all installed and back on the road. I have to say that just swapping in the shocks and control arms made a very noticable difference in ride quality. Lloking forward to the end result.

I'll post some before and after pics.

Sounds like a nice setup. Are you going to stick with 37's?

For now I am. My plan down the road is a pro rock 44 ultimate, 5.13s and arb air lockers front and rear, beef up rear with heavy duty axle shafts, steering assist and flat fenders. Then I can clear and handle 40s.

Just took a few of it now, just need to upload them.

Here are a few pics of my JK's current set up. These are front and rear suspension pics.

Here are a couple more. As you can see the rear is sagging a little bit. Didn't notice it much until I put my new 37s on early this past spring. Do get a little rubbing at full compression. Won't happen with the new lift!!

Okay. Got my JKU back from the guys at Smashboogie 4x4. First I have to say that these guys were great to deal with and really know their stuff.
They did and awesome job and have to say my JKU handles and rides great. Big difference in ride quality and having everything set up correctly is a definite plus.

Here are some after pics.

Here you see the draglink flip kit, synergy tie rod, Rock Krawler front and rear tracbars and brackets, and new swaybar links.
