Starting to install the front coilovers. The Rock Krawler kit calls for 12" coilovers in the front but we went with 14" in the front and 16" in the rear instead of the coil springs the kit calls for .


Started to install the genright rear swaybar.

This will be the rears full drop and full stuff

Still needs a bit of trimming for the full stuff to work.

Have you figured the uptravel yet? With the stock back frame and the windsheild at 77 inch, uptravel might get really tight. Also, when you cycle the suspension, the 16's might give you a lot of trouble with that stock frame.

Might want to just go ahead and back half that frame to save some real headaches. Otherwise, you will likely lose about half of the travel from those 16's.

All and all, looking great. Just a few tips on stuff to watch out for. Have fun Jay.

Is there more to that front coilover tower? Maybe tiny iPhone screen but only 2 2" welds hold them on?

Edit* Now that Im at home I can see its just tacked.... keep up the good work!

No room for back halfing the frame I have a need of the space under the tub  lol as for up travel I am working on 5-5.5 " I have a way to work with the stock frame and still have full use of the 16" coilovers. Wish me luck
