So I saw a picture here of someone flexing on a pair of ramps. Looked cool so I tried it. Three things I noticed:
1. Way cool :D
2. I need longer break lines in the rear(cool get new parts for my Jeep) :BANANA: :BANANA:

3. At full flex in the rear I could move my coil; not good I am thinking.

Was thinking about taking out the spacers I have in there and replace with the 2.5 coils lift by JBA, just in the rear. Would that fix it or is there nothing to fix(either way I get new parts). I have the DayStar spacer kit if that helps. Thanks for the input.

:CAMPING:

JBA has the brake lines just fyi, pretty sure somewhere else has some too not sure who though

the coils do get a little loose in the rear at full flex, but if you have extended bump stops in the rear as you probably should with a spacer lift and stock springs, then they aren't going anywhere

if they get loose and out of seat, a good bump in the road will usually resettle them into their home

Those pics are pure awesomeness! The good thing is you'll never flex enough to lose a spring crawling parking curbs. You can bolt the spring to the perch with u-bolt straps too.
