Update - 1/2 cradle drop is still doing fine and Ive done some wheeling
My reasons for doing the cradle drop were
1 - Bring things a little closer back to factory spec
Tie rod ends - Bump steer - wear on rack
Sway Bar
Lower Control arms
2 - I like the height of the lift - See post above - I was at 11 1/2 inches at the lowest point of skid plate
I beleive thats max lift without more serious issues - I need to remeasure for compare purposes
So to sum it up - just maintain lift height and improve drivability
3 - Ive never seen it done and thought it might be cool - so far so good
I still have issues with spring / upper arm contact and am working with Quinn to resolve
I guess Ill be buying Als Uppers soon as well. In fact I reccomend just getting the arms if you going up as high as I got.
Ok 2 more things - I have 8" rims 4.5 backspcae and 31inch 10.5 tires, I have full turn radious with very minor if any rub(I have the plastic wheel wells installed but trimmed and pounded)

BFG AT KO 31 15 10.5 are great excellent tires, I am 100% happy with them, absolute no complaints, they do what they are designed for and run down the highway smooth, great stiff sidewalls, I can hit curves hard and fast with confidence then do rocks and trails without fear of sidewall punctures. Ok 1 small complaint..they have a tendecy to pick up small rocks/sticks etc and either flail them out or do the tap tap tap down the road, I have to pull over and pull the rock out. Thats one complaint I can live with
Peace Out - KjHawaii
