Well thanks to my good friend Manny we got an early jump on putting the lift on and its done. Well almost i still need to extend the drive shaft and mount the rear shocks and a few other things need to be buttoned up. Here are a few picks. Its a little higher than I thought but looks good over all. Specs are SPOA with trail Tough missing link bolt on kit. Also got my rock sliders bent so time to start fabing them up  ~clap

Finished my extended yoke today  ~clap
Also made some 8 degree shims to help with the bad driveline angle. Hoping to switch out the rear springs today and see if its a little lower. Here are some pics of my handy work  ~punk

So 8 degree shims were a bad idea after all. It put my pinion and transfer case  angles off too much and had a crazy vibration from 0-30 mph. Removed them and there is still a little vibration but something I can work with. Starting on the front end this week I will take plenty of pics and update my progress. Plans are to extend the front of the frame and run YJ 5 packs. Also incorporate a new front bumper and hopefully finish my rock sliders. And all new OTT steering using Mercedes arms and Heim joints... Wish me luck:)
