My JKU got All Growed UP!
Well, I just got back from the Alignment, She got her new parts in and She is TALL! I literally fell out when I got her home because the ground was not where it used to be...
The Old:
2.5" JK lift in the JKU (likely a 2" with the extra weight)
a 2" from leveling kit (which meant the rear was a 2" lift, the front was a 4".
Before
The New:
JKS Adjustable track bars Front and Rear
EVO 4" Plushride Springs
EVO Drag Link Flip Kit (With Trackbar Relocation Bracketry)
FOX 2.0 Remote Reservoir Shocks all around
FOX 2.0 Steering Stabilizer (Relocation Bolt and Clamp come in this week to bring it above the track bar (You'll see in the last pic the OEM location))
Metalcloak front shock relocation (to move the bottom links out 2" to help with Reservoir location.
Metalcloak Bumpstops Front and Rear (Progressive compression)
Rough Country and Rubicon Express Bumpstop Extensions
Teraflex Rear Swaybar Links
Teraflex 1.25" Body lift
Teraflex Brakeline and Wheelsensor line Flex Brackets
Some UPS Porn to Start
From the back (Note, Brakes lines are now correctly clocked and flipped so they are correct).
Hell of a lot of Droop now...
Front
Back
Here are some of the Final pics.
Next up is into the shop likely next month or so for a Heater core replacement, New Radiator, and switching to Evans Waterless Coolant.
(Mishimoto Radiator, Thermostat and Hose Kit, New aluminum overflow Bottle, New Heater Core, Should come to about $2k )
In the Relative Future (Next Spring or So?)... Gotta Find either some Rubicon Pull-outs for Axles or go with a brand new housing and build it out for the front. Eventually want to put on 37-38"s (maybe even 40"s) and thinking the Dana 30 front will not like them at all...

Re: My JKU got All Growed UP!
Nice! I am trying to set mine up in the near future, but everything is backlogged still, maybe in October. It looks great so far!
Turn up the radio and Bump it! that will buff right out.

Re: My JKU got All Growed UP!
Well, All growed up and now the wife can't get it LOL.
So she ordered me to put steps. I couldn't get the EVO weld on frame ones I wanted so I went with the LoD Destroyer slider/steps. Damn they are beefy! each one is ~50lbs...
Pretty sure I can put the weight of the whole jeep on just one with no issues...
