Over last 3 weeks we've installed Smittybilt front and rear bumpers, Smittybilt winch with Factor 55 prolink, window vents, put graphics or lettering on side of hood and of course washed multiple times.

I think they ride great. I have the RK RRD 2.25 shocks on. On road with the combo I think it's about 5-10% stiffer than stock which I actually like as I felt the stock suspension was too squishy. Off road I find it just awesome. I live in the desert and end up on way too many washboarded and heavily rutted roads, I haul ass through these and you barely know they are there. I've never hit the bump stops on the bottom end, and I've bombed through more than a few "oh shit there's a huge hole in the trail" situations. For the slow crawling stuff I've got no complaints at all either. The only complaint I've got at all with the kit is that I have too much articulation in the front end, i'm going to have to install limit straps as I have almost shot out a coil spring on a couple of occasions. I'll take that problem. Problem is that ride quality is very subjective, so where I may really like what I have others may not. Also keep in mind that i'm running their entire kit, their shocks, and rolling on Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's which are a D-load rated tire (I run them at 28 PSI cold because of the stiff sidewalls). I also air down to between 17 and 20 PSI when i'm offroad. So there's a ton of factors involved in how a set of springs will feel to different people. I will say that several people who offroad have made comments about how amazing my Jeep rides both on and off road FWIW. I have a bunch of mods planned which will add some weight and will probably go to 37's when I swap out my axles, I fully plan in buying their 3.5 springs to update my lift. So, all that being said I am 110% satisfied, but i'm not sure how much of it is specifically the springs themselves or the entire setup as a group.
I need to install limit straps myself. Did you ever do this to yours?

Installed the Mopar rear cargo mat with seat back protection. Felt very weird cutting the carpet on a brand new vehicle, but looks good.

Well I had to clean the inside of the Jeep. I asked my wife how in the hell did you soak the inside of the Jeep and fill it will sand. She said, Hell I don't know. I was flying the drone at Silver Lake Sand Dunes for about 15 minutes. After reviewing some video clips, I found out. My Jeep is to left. at the very end of the 8 second video.

What are your thoughts on those Ironman tires? I like their look but I hesitate because they're suspiciously cheaper than other MTs. Are they still a good tire on and off road?
