I bought this 04 recently with a 3 inch body lift..... terrible way to lift a Jeep. None of the the spacers were 90 degrees to the frame! I really liked the way the 33s look but wasn't opposed to smaller tires. This jeep will be pulled behind my motorhome 90% of the time, and being realistic probably won't see much serious offroading. I replaced the 3" BL with a 1.25, mainly so I could get a complete kit, not knowing what the previous guy did.
I decided to follow Codamans recommendations...2" springs with a .75 spacer in the front, Rancho shocks. Not being a serious offroader I went with Rough Country adjustable front and rear trackbars, which really made the job easier. I used hockey pucks front and rear for bump stops, A Saavy transfer case shifter, and a 1" MML finished me up. My quick initial ride was pretty good, still have to fine tune the steering wheel position.
Thanks to Codaman and many others for the information shared on this site. I'm sure I could have got it installed, but the tips and how too's made this job much easier.

I’ve gone down the road many a time with a 15mm and vice grips to to stop in the median and tweak the centering sleeve. Be sure you toe is close and good on you for catching on ....less lift equals less changes equals less cost and less headaches. For what you are doing , it will be great and will do more than you might believe if needed.

Next week! A small group of us are going to Windrock in TN for a couple days.
I was lucky...this Jeep has been in Atlanta it's whole life, owned by a guy who never took it off road. Underneath was clean. Every nut and bolt removed, came right off
