what 4" lift are you running? I only see the teraflex 2.5" BB in your first post... by the way it looks like so much more than 2.5" in those pics... maybe its just the upwards angle of the picture.

It is a Frankenstein 4" lift, that includes:

- 2.5" Teraflex BB
- 1" body
- coils off a 4dr Rubicon

For the most part it is about 4".

Question for ya, if you dont mind how much did it cost to get all the custom work done by fab industries i really like the way yours looks and its time for me to invest in some armoring before i separate from the military.

well, I cant say how much I paid cuz I got a rockin deal with them right before they opened shop. I think they are charging maybe $800 for bumpers and maybe $500 for fenders, but I would call and ask. I love the way it turned out
