those flare came with jeep when i bought it, could be aftermarket. Then again its a Rocky Mountain edition, maybe those are originals.
Just want to take a second and thank everybody that has chimed in on this thread. I really appreciate all the input.

If I think about it I'll measure my coils at lunch and shoot you some pictures. I've never measured mine but I'm sure it started as a 4" procomp setup.

From the pictures they look like a 6" spring for sure.
Here's how mine looked with the old 35's which measured just under 34" tall and my RC 4" springs:
And here's with the 2" springs and 32's:

Since I see expensive names, tummy tuckers and body lifts, I thought I'd share. This is one of the kits available that would alleviate your issues and make your Jeep ride great, especially for an off-road capable daily driver.

I'm gonna have to give that option a giant HELL NO! LOL. It looks pretty bad ass for sure, but i could never justify that kit for my DD. Not only that, I have the misfortune to live in S. Fla, the land of the ignorant, incompetent, indifferent and just plain old lazy. The lets hire the worst of the worst just to save a buck. I don't think i could trust anybody to be cutting and welding components on my Jeep, let alone be able to do it without screwing something up.
Thanx...I have 12'' rears and 16" fronts about 2" less than yours, so i guess i do in fact have a 4'' lift

Im sure it rides a hell of a lot better now, although i kinda like the before pics better with the 35's on it. Did you drop the coils specifically to run the 32's? weren't happy with the 4'' height and 35's? I know the 35's can get a little pricey compared to 32's
I'm leaning heavily on going the HYBRID route, with room for upgrade at a later date
Savvy/Currie arms
Savvy/Currie TB's
Savvy/Currie Currectlync drag link/tie rod
OME 2" coils
OME shocks
1.25" BL
1'' MML
I figure the worst that can happen is that I actually start to go off roading, and with the right friends and people, start to do it more often. Wich could quickly lead into 35's and a tummy tuck. If my math is correct, Either way i would still need the BL/MML. So, down the road it would just be a question of swapping out the coils and shocks to transform into the complete Savvy/Currie. Yes, the coils and shocks will be another cost. But i would be glad to fork over the dough if it meant going out to Moab or Rubicon and actually doing it. So, if it happens great! If not i still have my DD with quality components.
