What front light bar is that? Does it just wrap around the bumper cover and connect that way?

Do you know if they make a roof mounted light rack like they do for the KJ Rennys?

That's the mopar bull bar and the renegade light bar will fit. There's a guy in Venezuela that did it and it looks good. Super expensive though.

I seriously considered that for awhile but decided to go with a basket instead but I've been waiting for awhile now.

I'm waiting on one that replaces the rails. I just don't like the ones that are above cross bars, too high.

How's the ride with your 2" lift? Can you tell the difference between stock lift with stock tires to the 2" lift with the bigger tire?

Rides awesome its about a 2.5" - 3" lift now with the tires and springs.

Rides smoothly and no issues other than some minor adjustments in the rear shocks.

have you done a brake change with the spacers yet? i did a few months back, and maybe it was me being a newb to cleaning thread locker, but it was a real pain in the booty. dealing with the spacers and cleaning the thread locker off at least doubled the time it took to change the brakes. just wondered if you or anybody else has worked through this problem and found an efficient way to deal with it :ALONE:

your jeep looks good though... i couldnt imagine mine without the spacers :?

So guys long time no update

Need to replace my front bilstein struts as they must not be correct for the OME lift.
Replacing with OME struts high duty and jba control arms.

Adding a roof basket and lamps as well :)

Driver front doo doo the bed, looks like the travel was no enough and it over extended and therefore it squeaks and now leaked fluid. So I might as well Fo both fronts see if bilstein will warranty and do the jba control arms.

Yes that sux. Aren't all available front struts about the same in length though. I'm not sure OME struts are any longer but it might be better having springs and struts from same brand
