Did you get too long of shock? Splain to me Lucy! When I ran 31's, I didn't need any bumpstop in the front and 1" bumps in the rear.
Damn, here we go again!

Did you get too long of shock? Splain to me Lucy! When I ran 31's, I didn't need any bumpstop in the front and 1" bumps in the rear.
UPDATE:
Thanks for the idea of canceling the order and piecing it. This actually works out better. I didn't have to get stuck with a new steering dampener I didn't need or a OME baseball cap. haha. I also upgraded to a heavier duty front shock that doesn't come in the kit. And it is all going to be here next week. I did order the transfer case lowering kit, but I do plan on an SYE at some point. I know it is kind of a gamble in that I may not even need it, but I want it on the shelf just in case. I didn't want to wait a week in case I needed it.

Thanks that was a lot of work. I imagine the hard part is to come next week when it gets here.
Yep I already have a whole case of pb blaster. And I am lucky because I replaced all of my control arms a few months ago, and there is no rust underneath. I think my Jeep, in its former life, was pulled behind a motorhome in this sunny state. It has a shit tone of miles on it, but it looks almost show room underneath. Except for the mud I subjected it to.

Great! Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Don’t forget what @bobthetj03 taught me; the springs are side specific to compensate for the TJ’s 3/4” tilt...
Probably in the instructions if you get the kit, but not when you piece it out, tribal knowledge for that...
I bought my OME kit from Qtech many moons ago. No instructions. I ended up putting the springs in the wrong location in the rear and after figuring out why my jeep leaned in the rear, I had to swap them.
These are the rear springs. Notice how one is slightly taller than the other.
