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.

Installed my cherry red @AlienSunshade on my 2018 Ocean Blue JLUR
If you flip the front t-bands so the cord goes on top of the shade and the bar goes on the bottom it helps reduce the wind noise a little bit, just FYI.

Thanks! Much better!!. I don’t intend to have it on all the time, just to save the back of my legs!

Is the rear axle a drag axle or is it powered? The company that did the work looks like they did a terrific job
