Added 1 inch rear spacers and made more measurements.

I do plan to add one additional inch of bump stop to the rear. This will put me at two inches. I'm still undecided about shocks. The Jeep is now sitting on 2 1/4" lift with the H&R springs and a 1" spacer. I have a set of 3" springs I'm going to install, then do one more suspension cycling and numbers collecting. It's been very tedious to go through this process, but I know a lot more about the suspension than I did when I started. After this last round of cycling the suspension, I'll make a choice on both the spring setup and shocks.Interesting. Are you thinking of the RS55241 with a little more bump? It seems like that could yield 8" travel and a slight uptravel bias...
Excellent build, by the way.

My one concern, at this point, is the amount of space I'll have between the top of the 31" tire and the bottom of the fender flare. As it stands now, I'm at 8" in the rear and 7" in the front. My overall tub height, at the left rear corner, is now sitting at 25 3/4". When I started, it was 21 1/2" on stock tires and suspension.

I was told they come greased ready to go. One a year seems to be the average answer I got depending on use and location. You have to completely take them apart to grease the ball using a high molly greaseFigure I'd try here, before posting in the main section. What's the proper procedure for greasing the JJs? This is my first set and there's no way in hell I'm getting any grease to go into them new. Is this a wait until they wear in a little and then grease them situation?
I am almost certain the destructions I found online said they came greased and ready to run. When I talked to Currie to order rebuild parts, they said use only non-synthetic molly grease. Blaine recommended some redline stuff so I used that. Currie didn't like that, but I trust Blaine's recommendation.Figure I'd try here, before posting in the main section.
