Those springs will settle some and end up being closer to the advertised amount of lift.

DR is correct. The 3.5 will settle after about 300 miles to around 2.5in. Drove up to submarine rock today with the swaybars disconnected. Love the JKS quick discos. AWESOME! BAAAAAA Smile

I like the green...but since you're dropping in an atlas, I'd do a 2" body lift, some trimming, and run 33's. That's still a mild tire size, but the thing will be pretty much point and shoot after that.

Get an alignment too...the jeep will be toed in a bit after the lift with that scissor shaped tierod setup.

The alignment is scheduled for 0800 Thurs AM.
I also put Skidrow gas tank armor on it, although I didn't tag anything today. The OME suspension upgrade just floats over rough stuff. Next upgrade is the Atlas 4.3 this fall, then maybe a winch or lockers. Might even put some Currie control arms on it and convert it to long-arm next summer.
