You can know for yourself instead of having faith in the claims of another. Hang the axle by the shocks and see if the springs and spacers can fall out. You may even discover that the limit straps are not doing anything useful.

What don't you like about the spacers?

At one point Skyjacker offered a 7" for the TJ. Once you make this work, you will be wishing you were rolling in dough.

I like my bearlocks quite a lot!

The Racelines have been a very good looking wheel for a long time.

Don't assume what I don't know. 😉

Since this is his first outboard, do you care to walk him through the specifics of squeezing coilovers into factory width axles?

Bear locks? Am I close?

I got one of the last sets of 17s in the country a couple years ago. The entire line is gone.

Correct. Last I discussed it with someone in the know, 2.0s can be converted to DSC reservoirs. But all that remains of the original 2.0 is the shock body tube.

Are DSCs available as an off the shelf 2.0 now?

Moving the upper seats can absolutely alter the ride height if you want it to.

This is why he needs springs with enough free length to stay contained in the seats by the extended shocks. Then he can skip the limit straps.

The thing about the tower height is that it is directly related to both the ride height created by the spring and the compressed length of the shock. If you do not have the springs to know the ride height, all you can do is estimate the ride height. Though, the actual work of cutting in and...

This is a well documented procedure... 😉

To visualize where the shock tower needs to go, you acquire the compressed and extended lengths of the shock. Then you cycle the axles without springs or jounces installed and sway bar links detached. From there you raise and lower the axle to mimic these compressed and extended lengths and see...

The immediate question is if those springs have enough free length to accommodate a 12" travel shock to begin with. There is a reason why the Currie/RockJock 4" spring is used so often with an outboard. And it barely has enough free length for the job. As for bump stop, you build the shocks to...

2003 is my year! Looking forward to what you come up with.

It's a matter of accumulation. One skid won't matter much if it is steel or aluminum. But when the Jeep is fully outfitted underneath and on the body, along with selecting steel bits that aren't larger than is necessary, the difference can be several hundred pounds. Whether or not one finds a...

Halfway done!
