I'm just a tad confused on your front setup you said you didn't use strut spacers, but I think you meant coil spacers but not sure. Cuz it would make sense removing the coil spacers when installing the adjustable shocks.

Unless the 12 kit is very different than the 09-11 which I know there are variances it's the shocks etc. can you take a pic through the fender well? Just want to see the setup

there are strut spacers and then preload strut spacers, i did not use the preload strut spacers as this is not advised when running adjustable shocks.

Dang, anyone want 38's?

once i can find a place down here in the states within a couple hundred miles that will do my gears i am going to see if i can 40's under there...once the body lift is complete that it:) if not i will have to setting for some 38's:( but i think 40's would fit i mean hell 11" taller than stock when all said and done i should be able to get some 40's under there right?

Am I reading this correctly?
Are you truly considering on going larger? Or simply grabbing Mud Grapplers in 35's?

Realistically 35x12.5 in Mud Grapplers...but maybe if I do more lift some 37's!!

You can fit 40's
I know a guy with 40's and 4.56 but its a dog.....not really a dog, but feels like 33's on stock 3.55's. actually slightly better. Between 3.55 and 3.92's. So I guess it works.
Currently 4.56 is the lowest gear for 4x4's
I prefer 37's/38's
So you can test and let me know how it goes :naughty:

ill have to see what my bumper height is in the rear with the 37's, and then once the body lift is on:) am only suppose to go to 31" here in missouri but i might say f'em lol, and go higher anyway its not that big of a ticket and its a non mooving violation anyways so no point on the liscense pay the fee then roll worry free for 30 days:)

4.56's are definatly in my future its just a matter of finding someone that will do them, i have tlaked to all the jeep shops, all the off road shops, hell i even broke down and went to the dealer to see what could be done and everyone has turned me down for this reason or the next. maybe ill just take out the rear differential and the front and have it shipped up to canada and get it done there:)

i cant wait for my wheels and tires to get here either, and to answer your question fastNugly powder coat will be happening when my truck is at the shop getting the lift re-torqued, the remote start, security system, and longer break lines installed:) which will be on the 29th of this month!! such a long wait but have to hit 500 miles on the lift before they re-torque it and as i dont get out of town much this takes a while, hell havent hardly gone over 200 miles since it was done lol. but i will get there and it will get done, then once all this is done, i will be off on my lighting adventure for a month or so :) and maybe get the handle shave in before christmas hopefully.

Reason why most shops won't do 4.56 gears. Not really a single proper way of doing them on the zf axles yet. Fast went about it in a certain way that aloud him to. Me I went with factory R/T gears in my 2wd.

hell i havent even been able to find someone that will touch it at all, closest thing i have been able to get come around to finding someone to do it is the dealership swapping out the whole rear end and front for 3.92's and that to me is just not acceptable lol, i will either wait or ask fast how he got his done and do it that way prolly. :)

Let me know when ready.
But your shop needs to be able to machine or work with someone who does.

what gears do you have now? i have a 3rd gen with 37's and 3.55 gears and besides the bad gas milage its not really a dog. I can still spin them off the line and whens its wet out forget it i have to ease on the throttle or it breaks loose. hell even at 30mph if i smash it and the roads are wet it will break loose. And i have no engine mods besides intake and ehaust.

It's the same. The power was there. It was just slower off the line and gas sucked. And it kept searching for gears on the highway.
I was at 3.55 and now at 4.56.
