Great idea..... link to parts please....:)
A screenshot is the best I can get you. I do garage and shop stuff way better than links and videos and files and computers! Pretty much suck at that part! I used this along with 12 ga wire strait from from battery.

Sarcastic- does that bumper come with the vacuum adapter?

Serious- I love that front bumper! Which one is it if you don't mind sharing.
Vac adapter is for the onboard vac that I use on the front grill when it is really dusty.
The bumper is Magnum.

I built a split rear cargo deck for added security in my soft top. It's designed to cover everything if the rear seat is deleted, or have the rear deck cover remain when the rear seat is installed. Though not visible, I've since added D-ring tie downs on the top and bottom of the front deck as well.

This is for my 2dr, but I built one for my old '18 JLU. If anyone wants the JLU cover I'd love to sell it near cost.

My JLUR had its first growth spurt. Mopar 2" lift kit installed. Kit had the new perches so minimal to no bowing. I have steel bumpers and steel Roam rails so I think I netted closer to the actual 2" versus the 3+ many have reported. Lastly, driveability remains good without any wandering.

Unfortunately DTD sent me the wrong color Fuel Vectors so we will have to wait another week or two before we add those.

Did you get the latest lift kit 77072395AC? How is the bowing and did you have to do a adjustable Track Bar in the front to recenter the axle

Thanks to Etrailer, I installed there hitch and trailer wiring for $200. Had a hiccup with the hitch because there was a metal spur on the bumper rail but took care of that with my reciprocating saw. Added a butt plug (Mopar) and all is dandy. The hitch alone was worth it considering it holds my bike rack much tighter than my old AEV steel bumper with hitch on my JK.

Got rid of the last piece of my Mopar lift kit today. The springs.

Ended up researching a lot and decided on the synergy 3" coil springs and their stacking bump stops. I like that the spring rates were on the plush side and that they came with a flat bottom coil which completely kills any idea of a bowing spring without having some special spring pad. The stacking bump stops were really nice too because you can add and remove the stackable pads without removing the springs. These 3" coils sit a little higher than my Mopar springs, as you can see in the photos below. Still need to drive it, but after 7 hours of swapping springs (rust sucks and hacksaws were used) I need to shower. Driveway is on a slope, Jeep def isn't sagging.

-Synergy springs
-Synergy bump stops
-Synergy steering stablizer relacation bolt
-Falcon 3.3's
-Falcon Nexus 2.2
-Metalcloak rear track bar
-Metalcloak control arms
-Metalcloak sway bar end links (going to replace the fronts with something else)
-Steersmarts track bar
-Steersmarts drag link
-Steersmarts tie rod

Shes def a mutt!

What made you choose synergy's springs over metalcloak's? I see the flat ends you were taking about, but we're there any other reasons? I've started to shop around for a lift kit and I'm leaning towards Metalcloak's, but it won't be any time soon just yet.
