The ride height it's set at now is not the final ride height. We were unsure on what we needed for coils so we had to play it safe, and needed something for SEMA. We also wanted to see how it sat with everything bolted up and in place. When its all built and all the weight is added we will address spring rates and overall height. Right now we had to get something under it to hold it up for SEMA. we don't want it to be a monster truck by anymeans. We are going to wheel this, we do understand COG and it's not in our intrest to see this thing on it's roof.

Very understandable. Granit it does look a little like a monster truck now but I know you guys will make it sparkle and shine when it is finally complete and ready for its first trail run. Congratulations it looks like you guys have two awesome trucks for SEMA

Default Again... TONS OF PICTURES!!!!!!!!

After a few late nights we got it to this stage. It was loaded on a trailer for Sema yesterday so it's going as it's shown in these pictures. I just want to say thanks to all our sponsors, there is a ton of great products in and on this jeep that make it as killer as it is. We have been trying to decide how much to lower the jeep from where it sits in these pictures. It could easily come down 4 more inches and still be huge. When we get it completely finished we'll take a good look at it to see how much we can afford to come down before we're running on the bump stops. You really have to see this thing in person to grasp the magnatude of work that has gone into it. Those going to SEMA you can check it out at booth number 24643 and for the rest we'll be at EJS this comming year as well as many other shows and events. Thanks to everyone for following this build and know that there is still a lot more work to be done that we will keep updating regularly. And of course when we start wheeling it we'll start a new thread for the pictures and videos.

That thing is Huge!!!! I can't believe how much taller it is compared to that F250!!! I was wondering what kind of lights are on that MBRP light bar and what length is it? I've been looking at trying to get that light bar as a Christmas present and buy the led light on my own to put on my Jeep.

All the Light bars are Rigid Industries. it's a 50" on the top light bar, 10" on the grill guard, and Dually D2s on the windshield hinges. should light up like a Griswold christmas tree.

That thing is beautiful. I've got a stock Rescue Green 2008 JKU, and it really puts it in perspective for me. I want them tires someday...
