from BDS website...the part for for front and rear coils match. ie 340 and 346 and the links look like the bds links but never know..the OP could send a photo to BDS and see what they say.

I think you are right. I bet it is BDS coils and sway bar end links.

Whatever cheapo shocks were on the shelf.

His caster number makes me think he has the Mopar LCAs, but the part number didn't match.

3" of lift and no track bars would drive like shit though.

Yeah but unless you have an angry grill we need to see pics of the full Jeep.

Me and the Wife just did a road trip in the RV down to Moab/Bryce/Zion and we rented a Jeep in Moab and did Fins and Things and a few others and just had a blast.

So we came home and I searched for a low-mileage manual and this is what I found for my price range.

I know nothing about them and just want to make it stout and able to do those trails.

I grew up in Big Bear, Ca. driving a FJ60, man we took that thing to some crazy places, so I knew I wanted a manual for sure!

Come to find out there are three Jeep Badge trails there. I am sure we did part of them in that old Landcrusier.

That should be plenty for the rear. The front bumps looks awfully tall though. I’d be willing to bet you bottom out often going through dips that way if you drive it as it’s intended to be driven. That being said, you basically have to remove the entire front lift just to get those damn things out if you were going to replace them. Kind of a pain, so if it’s not bothering you then don’t bother it.

Yeah, I think you are right... Weird thing is, I can confirm with 99% certainty this is a BDS lift with their NX2 shocks (they are silver now, but EXACTLY the same thing) and by looking at the kit, they look like the same front bump stops and they are big.

I am going to put some new shocks on it, the ATS 2.0 I just added for the stabilizer made a HUGE difference as far as it going down the road straight... I can do 70 with no hands! LOL

In the Summer I will do a Clayton or MC.

Just be careful, once you start doing steering upgrades, it’s really hard to stop. Ask me how I know 😂

Oh man! There is my template!

Seriously so cool! Something about all the geometry and the shiny parts!

Do you have a link to your build?

I just saw you were San Bernadino!! I was born and raised in Big Bear... Mom is still there, Dad passed away, but yeah same house since 1971, down by the airport.

I am in Oregon now, but was just down there for Thanksgiving... Small ass world man...

And even crazier, today the mailman dropped off a piece of mail that was the neighbors (all the way up here about 45 miles south of Portland) and it was from San Bernadino.
