[QUOTE="mysteed, post: 14910722, member: 27508"] I put on the new wheels after my adapters came in and came to the realization that I will need to lift the truck at least 2" in order to maintain the full lock to lock steering. I could have cut the fender lines and flairs a lot, but that wasn't an option in my mind. I have the rear lift parts already procured and am waiting on UPS to deliver my front lift. Current state of the truck: [ATTACH=full]647764[/ATTACH] Fast forward a few weeks: [b]God help us, we're in the hands of engineers[/b] Once I added the wheels and tires I had in my last post I realized that I needed to lift the truck at least 2" in order to not cut my fenders a lot to clear the wheels. Obviously when lifting a Jeep there are just a ton of choices for lift height and even more ways to do so. After doing a lot of research I decided on Chevy S10 drop shackles in the rear and coil spacers in the front, which ends up being about 2" of lift overall with the truck. I figured that since I was already tearing down most of the front suspension to install my front coil spacers I should go ahead and make a few upgrades. I replaced the front brake lines (they were rotted out) with longer lines from the YJ, I replaced the front sway bar end links with one from a 97 F350 (beefier and longer in length), I replaced the front and rear shocks with longer Monroe OE Spectrum ones, and I replaced the rear center brake line with a longer one from a YJ. Before: [ATTACH=full]647765[/ATTACH] Here is the lift after it's had a few days to settle: [ATTACH=full]647766[/ATTACH] Since I first got the MJ I've put about 600 miles on the truck and it has since developed a small oil leak at the oil pan. So I need to get that fixed as well as set the alignment. MY painter is finally back in town so hopefully I meet with him this week to discuss painting options for the truck. [/QUOTE]
