I am back from Antigua!!!
And regretting it every second haha
As Ross said it is different and took me a while to get used to being taller. First move now will be to get some new shocks pronto!
Will keep you updated
Glad you had a good time. So the height is actually noticeable? I order my springs and shocks last week just waiting on them to be delivered. Shocks will be here today and springs are being drop shipped from RK and haven't gone out yet. Hopefully this week.

Hey thanks a lot a lot of info to take in.. But I'll probably wood up going the rk route. The tri rate springs just seem so badass. Now I'll have to wait until my stock jku ugly tire wear lol so I can replace them
buy the new tires and sell the stockers. I got my 33's for $544 for a set of 4 then sold the stockers and bought my matching spare.

I plan to upgrade soon. But the stock rims will rub with bigger wider tires so I plan on upgrading the rims with a 4.5 vs but that's gonna hurt the wallet
With my 285/75-16 Rocky Mountain ATS II's I only have a very minor rub at full lock to the left on my sway bar. Hopefully in a week or two I can post a pic of how they look with the 1.5" coils.

Finally got my RK 1.5" triple rate coils installed with Rancho RS9000XL shocks. I played around with the shock settings and have found 3 in front and 2 in the rear seems to be a good balance for my current setup. Overall ride is improved with large bumps on the highway being soaked up easily. I choose to go with just the coils and shocks for now to save a little money. The geometry is all within factory specification, at least according to the dealer that did the install and alignment, had to turn it over as I am currently suffering from a messed up knee. For a budget minded setup it is a great way to go. Plus with the Rancho $100 rebate it came in below my budget. Now for what everyone wants Pics.

What's next? Chop the flares and go to 37s?
