Looks good!
I see the extra skid for the automatic transmission under there. Did you have any vibrations? How did you resolve them? What we're all the components that went into your lift?
I have a 2004 Sport Auto 4.0 with 2" BB and I spaced the skids and clearances the front drive shaft. I still have slight vibes and I'm about ready to resolve them. I figure the $12 in washers has had a good ROI since 2007 when I installed them.
What???Installed my grab bars and put my new purple steering wheel cover on. I just put it over the old one as I like how thick it is. LOL There was nothing wrong with the old one, just wasn't purple enough for me. View attachment 140297

What???
No purple handles on the new grab bars???
Looks good!
Thanks for the info, it's very helpful. I'm curious to hear how the test drive goes.Thanks, the lift is an OME kit from Quadratec with H/D springs front and rear, Nitrocharger shocks, OME steering stabilizer, rear track bar relocation bracket and I ordered the 10mm spring spacers separate. I bought this TJ last fall and it had BB spacers on it 2" front and 1 3/4" rear but the springs were shot and had sagged 1 1/2" in the front.
I took a lot of measurements before I started and pretty much ended up 1 3/4" taller all around from where I started. I did the front first a few days ago and put a hundred or so miles on it with no more vibration than it had but it does have some. I'm sure it doesn't help that the tires are pretty worn.
It was pouring rain when we finished the rear end so I have not driven it yet, I'll try it out after work today and see what I have. I had a TJ before that had 2" spacers and the TC had been lowered with 1" x 1" square stock and I drove it that way for twelve years.
I think new motor mounts may be a better way to go but I would have to buy them, I can lower the TC for free. If it is no worse than before I may wait till I buy new tires. I want to go 32s but a local Walmart has 31 BFG AT TKOs on close out for $89 each.
Whew! I was worried about them not being purple. All is well in the world, then. LOLThey are being shipped as we speak. LOL I had to order those through Extremeterrain and it doesn't offer the next day delivery unfortunately . LOL Got to love Amazon for that free feature.
ThanksThey do. I had them custom made at a local off-road shop to use as attachment points for flat towing the Jeep.
Looks really nice! What gearing do you have that you are considering 32’s? I am also considering 32 inch tires but I have been second guessing it from everything that I read. Like you, I also have the 4 speed auto trans, and like I said, from what I read about, 31’s might be the max I should do. Just lime someone else’s point of view that has the same trans as me and perhaps a little more knowledge than me .Thanks, the lift is an OME kit from Quadratec with H/D springs front and rear, Nitrocharger shocks, OME steering stabilizer, rear track bar relocation bracket and I ordered the 10mm spring spacers separate.

Why not just buy the back half?New headlights. I think it’s so odd that the factory originals are so pathetic yet they still use them.
Now I need to figure out what to do about the console. The rear half of it was missing when I bought it so I screwed a .50 cal ammo can between the seats, which is better than nothing but the lack of cup holders is driving my better half up a wall. Still searching for a good fix.

I see you have the white side marker and running lights, with that black color and chrome grill overlay it looks pretty sharp. I was thinking about going that route with my LJ but wasn't sure how it would look.
