Looks good IMO. Are you thinking front is too high?

I think the front is a little low. The rear has zero preload in it right now. The front has 3 inches in it and it’s still nose down by 1.5 inches. Im new to this but I been told by a lot of people that if you need more than 2“ of preload to change the springs so I’m swapping them tomorrow.

I don't know shit about coilovers but I thought it looked good as far as the stance. Good luck.

I am no expert either, always had them on my fast cars this is all a learning experience for me.
 
Never have understood why people try to flatten these things out. You know as soon as you add some cargo to the bed/trunk it will drop lower than the front and really look retarded.

As I posted earlier if I leave it the way it is the rear has zero preload and it’s higher than the front with 3 inches in it now.

As soon as I add weight to the rear and adjust the rear preload I have no more to add to the front. My vehicles never sit level. I always have front down stance by an inch.
 
Damn it turned out great. Definitely one of the best JT builds I’ve seen.

We’re you able to get the preload issue straightened out?

Light bars were all the rave within the recent years. Many jeepers throw on the light bar before anything else. Obviously you're well invested into your Jeep even without the light bar. I was just giving you shit.

It’s all in good fun. I figured it was a jab of some sort.
