Awesome XJ man, I lik what you did with the 1/4 guards. I wish they had options for grommet style lights and no side marker.

The drop brackets and WJ arms very well but my shocks were the limiting factor so I never ran into binding because I never flexed it all the way out.
Some people want way to much for Rubicons but i ran into a deal on craigslist I couldn't pass up. As far as treadwrights I love them and will continue to purchase for the rest of my vehicles or when these ones wear out which i don't see happening soon even with using it as a daily driver.
I will hopefully have some updated pictures after this weekend the built in rockers are done and I am getting ready to put the TNT long arms on today. Then hopefully I will raptor u-pol the rockers and be on the trail this weekend.
Thanks for the comments much appreciated.

I just ordered a bunch of parts including new leafs, springs, shackle relocation brackets and other odds and ends. Should be here before this weekend so I can install before trip up north over the 4th. Plan on breaking in new parts that weekend.

I figured I would add a picture as it sits and is waiting for parts this weekend, because all I ever look for is pictures in build threads.

I got my parts in Saturday thankfully to Iron Rock Offroad. I had them shipped to my work but realized last minute they would come Saturday and they don't deliver to commercial on Saturday. So at the last minute Thursday I talk to Iron Rock and then had the shipment changed to my house. Great company, excellent customer service, and awesome products. After getting there OTK steering and now this shipment I'm definitely a loyal customer. And for the pictures should hopefully have it all done tonight.
