Thanks!
I already had 488 gears so there isn't much of a difference in on road performance. It's a manual so I do have to wind a little higher in each gear to get similar acceleration but it drives great. In fact the D rated Yokos ride a little better than the E rated Ridge Grapplers and are just slightly noisier. D44's in rear are hopefully OK, a little concerned about front, but I think I'll ride it out and upgrade eventually if there is a problem. Slight rub in certain situations off road. Probably start with Rubicon fenders for front which look like they may add just enough clearance. If I rip the back fenders off I'll deal with that then. Overall very happy with it!

Small gains with the control arms, I was only losing like 3/4" of travel with the stock control arms, and I was only able to stretch the rear 1/2" lol.

This is how far I felt comfortable moving the axle. Made the front of the frame side bump stop flush with the front of the axle side bump stop. About 1/2"

Stock uppers were 17 1/2" I ended up going 17 3/4" to keep the stock pinion angle.

Stock lowers were 19 3/4" I went 20 1/4".

After shot, not sure you'd be able to tell a difference side by side, but at least there is some beef back there now.

Going to do the fronts as well to match everything up, but I'm going to keep those stock length so nothing worth writing about.

me again, when you put the mopar springs on. I finally did. Bigger number goes on the passenger side to account for gas tank/battery i assume.

im about .5” leaning to passenger side after install. You the same?

I had never really noticed it visually, but when I just measured it there is a solid 1/2" difference. Also lower on passenger side.

How’s the performance with stock gearing?
So far I haven’t noticed anything negative yet. It’s still kinda fresh. I take the highway to work so i will be able to tell more then. But it still seems like it has good pickup from a stoplight
