Here's some pics of the new setup. Need longer shocks and brake lines. They're limiting my flex. New bumpstops as well will be needed.
4" IRO coils
3.5" IRO leafs
1.5" Boomerang shackle IRO
Adjustable IRO LCAs
Still have the pro comp es1000 shocks from my first lift on it. Will probably go with bilsteins. Will be ordering extended brake lines this weekend.

Just got word back from the inspector. I need new front pads and rotors, and sway bar end links to pass MD inspection. Very easy fixes that will be knocked out this weekend.

Buy your inspections stick with the vehicle until it changes hands right? So pass and its good for a while. That's still crazy. I know they would pick on a lot with my jeep, specially the exhaust right now

So the mechanic found some bad news. He thinks the head or head gasket is blown, and that's why its running so hot. Even after a flush and new antifreeze, the fluid turns rust brown almost immediately and it actually spiked to red on the drive back home. I shut it off immediately and sat for 2 minute. Thing went back to 220 and stayed there the entire ride back to my house, about 8 miles.
Any insight would be great. I really didn't want that news when I picked it up.

As for the cooling. Just replace it all!! New rad, water pump, hoses, and then pull the head and get it redone if the other stuff doesn't fix it. I overheated and warped my head 1 or 2 years ago. I can't remember. Replaced all of it and it wasn't too expensive. I'm still misfiring though...so I need to look into that.
Also, 21st birthday is coming up soon, and if any of you guys I know are welcome to come up and out with us. Be in the Bel Air area most likely. Be a friday the 18th.

So far only a replacement thermostat, radiator cap and 1 flush. The fans are working fine. I just find it weird that it spiked to hot and came right back down. Could that be a bad temperature sensor?
