Those rims look very classy, yet are clearly functional. I like.
That is one serious looking piece of kit, made all the more awesome/unique by the leaf spring set up and the cage. I'm really digging the Rescue Green paint job.

You would want to have a soft spring rate or the suspension would 'leaf' a lot to be desired.

Redid my whole rear suspension, 5 leaves, instead of 7, lowered it about an inch, maybe an inch and a half, so i chopped the front coil spacer from 2 inches down to an inch. Also i adjusted the trackbar.
Look how easy removing your coils is when you have long arms and an engine hoist:
Also i stretchd it out a little behind work today:

misfire. its kind of a pain in the *** to figure out why its misfiring. its not the cap rotor or spark plugs or wires. my guess is that the exhaust leak that is at the header is causing it. my theory is that the hole lets out so much exhaust that the o2 sensor reads that the motor is running lean so the ecu tries to counter act this by dumping to much fuel and it runs way to rich causing the misfire. it makes sense cause my exhaust fumes do smell very rich....

What led up to doing this? By "this" I mean lowering the Jeep and inch.

I painted parts of my cage. I removed it last week.
Tomorrow = more paint, and maybe a partial re-install.

Transfer case and driveshafts installed! Was a huge pain in the *** and I turned a darker shade of Brasillian because of it, but I'm happy.
Now onto whatever else I have to do before it hits the badlands. Woot.
Ps. I may have the first cherokee with an NV-249. That's right. Two-fourty-NINE...and it's the good one with low lock.

OK OK im not going to lie the way she sits is the way i bought her. Only thing i have done so far is have my old man paint her didnt like the white. I know its better to build then buy but im in Afghanistan right now and couldnt pass her up for 4000. And as far as the front leaf springs she's sitting on dana 60's much easier to build leaf mounts then build coil mounts. I know some of you might look down there nose cause i bought her and didnt build her but you know what im cool with that. HATERS :thumbdown: haha next up for her is solid diff covers, new warn lockouts, mount the winch and build a stinger. i will be home in July for leave and making a trip to Slade KY. and you know i will post wheelin pics . thanks everyone for asking about her.
And i can do a build thead, but it will be in July when im home. i will go from the day she came home to the way she sits when im home in July
