Thanks guys, just having the fronts on is a noticeable difference on the road. Took it for a hour drive out to dinner on the water and it handles amazing. You can really feel the difference be the front COs and the Rea’s coil set up.

So far you can definitely feel the front COs take bumps running the dirt roads better than the rear coil and shock combo. I’ll hopefully get the rear COs in the next couple days. The amount of drop I’m getting now is a huge difference for me as well.

Curious to see if you need to do anything different with your bumps

So far flexing it with my high lift jack on my rock rail they are lining up. I can run the jack all the way up to the second from last hole before the front tire comes off the ground. Once I get the rears in, I’ll take it over to a friends of mine’s shop where he has a loading ramp and I’ll be able to tell better on how it will flex.

It makes it easy to adjust the COs up like that though [emoji106]

How bout your bump height? Still ok with the 4"?

My bump stops are about 1.25” tall. The Fox IFP bumps have a travel of about 2.75”. And I have a gap between the two of about 1”.

I have about 5.5” of up travel left on the CO.

Ok, Mine are very similar. I still think I'm sitting a little tall but everything worked so well that I'm reluctant to change anything at this point.

Sorry to ask again, but what preload are you running up front? I’m at 1.75” and 2.75” to get it to sit level and at the same height my AEV springs were at.

Is your Jeep loaded with everything you will carry? If you have the factory springs your going to end up riding your bumps when loaded.

I just have the fronts in now, and yes, all my tools, jack and frig are always in. I need to load 4 adults in to check. I was surprised how much preload I had to run to get back to the 4.5” spring height.
