What did you do to your TJ today?

So I have a Tom Woods DCDS and I’m thinking of going with a UCF no body lift skid. I’ve hemmed and hawed about getting one. What I’m afraid of is that my DS will now be way too short. I’m sure there’s some math I could do to see how much longer the DS would need to be and then I could see if I was still in range. Any thoughts?
Call Tom Woods, I would imagine that by now they've probably seen every possible combination and might have an answer

Figured out how much lift the new skid would get you then go out and remove the old skid and lift the TC that much. Take a look at when it does to the DS. See where the splines are after jacking up the TC.

Fitted my half doors today. They close so easy. Next step will be the paint shop in a couple of weeks!!!

Installed ATP grab handles, after the OME lift and seat risers I found myself struggling to hop up into the seat, didn’t want to use the wheel as a pull point. Install was easy, I removed the roll bar covers and found a molded foam detail that provides some cushion to the bar. The handles mount directly to the bar, so some clearance in the foam was needed. Didn’t want to cut that in case I want to go back to stock, will keep them intact and used pipe wrap foam on the bar. I was a little concerned about worst case scenario with possible head impact on the new handles, so I wrapped them in foam too. Not the prettiest, but still very functional and the foam will offer a little protection in case of intimate contact.

Added new round A pillar mirrors to replace my smashed CJ style mirrors. Also installed Grabars with perfectly drilled holes in the trim. Looking great and easier for us all to get into the Jeep.

Working up to 600-800 grit will prevent any scratches showing on base coat. The splotchiness, did you use a spray gun or can? Spray gun means the reducer wasnt slow enough so the paint is drying in mid air because its too hot. Can, ha well good luck. Also look up drop coat. When you finish your third coat of base,immediately throw a drop coat which will help metallic lay even across the whole panel and add consistency. Clear crinkle could have been from not waiting long enough with flash times (solvent pop).
They were cans from Automotive Touch Up. I’ve had good luck with their cans before… Even metallics.

But I really appreciate the input. I’ll take all the knowledge I can get, so thanks for the reply.
