Thanks!! So far it's handling fine.

I did order an adjustable front track bar to line things up a bit more - not that anything was way off, but I want the steering/front suspension to be close to perfect.

They would have been if it hadn't been for Red08JK. He was great, as were the other guys helping. A bit a dish washing liquid and a lot of muscle, and the coils went into place. With the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift, you sort of get to choose your poison - easier bump stop installation, or easier coil installation, but not both (Note that I use the word "easy" very loosely here - neither task was a walk in the park).

The lift kit is coils not spacers right? Looks great . I was going to try to make it over that way. But I had to work.

JK-Rubi

Yes, coils not spacers. We were looking for ya - hopefully catch you next time.

Ok, haven't been on in a while...now I come back and JK-Rubi is lifted...? what the heck!

Congrads and It looks great! Eventually I will need some pointers in installing my lift. When are the new shoes coming?

I know what you mean, mine is off by maybe a 1/2 in. or so and it's driving my crazy.
What kind of track bar did you get?

JK-Rubi

1/2 inch!! I'd be in a straight jacket by now.

Aren't your sway bars slanted a bit with that much axle shift?

Initially was planning on the adjustable one from Full Traction, but after chatting with Dave at Northridge4x4, and performing a quick revealing search of the forum, I decided to stay away from FT's track bar, and went JKS (it was not only cheaper, but appears to have a very good reputation here).

Hard to get in is an understaement. We struggled with it for awhile. Should have used coil compressors.

I had picked up a set of compressors from Harbor Freight but one of the dang things striped out after the first spring...

Denny2565,

You telling everyone in North Alabama about your ideas??

Well I bit the bullet last night, and ordered some Shrockworks Rock Sliders. If I start whining and sniveling 2 months from now about how they still aren't here yet, just remind me I knew going in that logistical efficiency isn't one of Shrockworks high points. And when I really start wailing and gnashing my teeth at 3 months because I've been "floating" their current business operations with my pre-paid dollars, just remind me that I probably made some guy, who ordered a bumper five months ago, very happy.

By the way, why did I do it? It's was mostly Red08JK's fault for having extremely nice looking sliders on his JK. Although, partial blame can also be attributed to Denny2565 who keeps talking about how nice they would be out on the Level 1 trails.

P.S. - Shrockworks sliders are frame mounted (only 2-3 companies doing this that I can tell), and they have a super reputation for toughness.
