Your on what? 4.5 and 33s?

I'm gonna guess 12" travel fronts and 10 rears will get it done.

I ran 13" travel fronts and 10 rear on silver...but up front it was like 3" up, 10 down. After watching videos its clear my coil unseated way before the shock got close to full extension

I'm gonna try and balance more up and down travel with this rig and strap it so the shocks aren't the limiter.

My issue is the fuhking previous owner hacked off half the bump tower.

That's the same thing I was thinking.

Mine are hacked too

Steering is my limiter. I need straps too. It's obvious a 3/4 link would give more articulation than my radius arms... But I have $550 in these.

Keep the radius arms until you feel like they are hurting your ability to wheel.

Non radius is nice but I had sooo much flex..not all was useful..just looked cool.

How's your steering limiting you?
I was using just a zj tie rod..

I mean it rides like saggy tittays now. Need coils and shocks. It'll do me fine. I'll figure out something for later on down the road when I want to do an axle swap on this one.

Drag link binds limiting droop on the lift. Passenger coil would unseat, drivers wouldn't and the axle wasn't centered under the Jeep like this. The pic is literally useless.

That doesn't show how much down travel you have..

When your coil bucket hits your bump that other side is going down.

I bet yyou can unseat both.

It droops so much that the drag link is pulling the axle to the drivers side.
