I added a decal yesterday. It's not a sticker but actually is metallic.

Hey guys, JBA lift is on

Got it done today at the local shop.
1st impression: Rides great! feels great!
I'm liking the stance!
Initial measurements: I'm @ 22" rear and 21.75" front
(Unlike before, with the Daystar my rear end was lower than the front)

Changed the front and rear differential fluids. Then I repainted the wheels.

I'll post pics soon.

You're sitting around my height now. Your rear is a 1/2" higher(I don't like the rake, so I'm happy with mine lol). Honestly, I'm jealous. I really want to go higher, but those front coilovers cost so much!! AND I just did my lift a year ago...

Why did you buy coilovers and not add the control arms

Pictures as promised.

In a previous post he said he talked to Marlin and Marlin said they weren't needed for his height.

At first I thought the same thing, but agree that if you don't have your height too high, you're fine. It's still not too late if he ever changes his mind.

Thanks for the comments

She sits pretty much level now, but I'm sure she'll want to settle some too.
Oh, and I did confer with Marlin, and for the height I was aiming for 2.5-3"
He said UCAs and rear bumpstops are not needed at this time (unless going 4" or do a lot of offroading)

Pretty much sums it up. Even with a normal lift 3" is alright with stock arms. The coilovers give that tad more room to play with too.

So Im looking to extend my brake lines and I know that Jeepin by Al has his kit but it is $180 and I am just trying to wrap my head around spending that much if I don't have too, is there any cheaper ways of extending the brake lines for less? I wouldn't mind spending the money if there is no other way.

If anyone has used this brake extension kit and can tell me why its so expensive and that it is worth it that would be great thanks.

Also ordered the other 3 skid plates from Mopar today, since I already made my own gas tank skid

Agreed

Looking at the size of the oem vs JBA coils, the JBA has a bit slimmer, narrower profile @ 3.63" diameter.
He mentions this on the site too, I guess when they designed it they had to consider the stock UCA.
I'm sure IF I ever decide to go higher in the future I will consider the JBA UCA's.
The beauty of his "adjust a strut" is in it's practicality. Sure you pay a higher price to begin with,
but then you decide to add a winch, skid plates, etc...well you know the rest lol
