Have a few finishing touches to do to make it work properly. The front control arms need to be shortened a hair so the trac bar will clear the front diff. Then it is off to the alignment shop.
Of course tomorrow it is time to go wheeling...

I think the polished wheel with red ring set it off great

Ill box them up and send them to you. I have about 5 sets of shocks and springs off of a Rubicon, hell extra control arms too.

Ill get you a weight and you just pay for shipping.

I ordered a flame red Rubicon 4 door back in November. It came in about 7 weeks ago. Thats how long it was..
