got the rear on wheels last night and the jacked the front up and pulled the suspension out. He had 2 sets of coils for the KJ, OME 864s and the OMEs he had on it with 5" of lift. I put those back in just to see where it would sit on 35s and REALLY liked the stance of it and after trimming, I think it would work well. I then swapped them out for the 864s(which seems to be what the other sas kjs are running) and let me tell you.. it's in my opinion WAY too big. we took measurements at ride height and with these coils in it's at like 10" of lift over the 5" we started with lol.. Freakin HUGE! So it's definatly going to get dropped.
I ended up with a double triangulated rear just with more separation on the lowers. will get some pics up soon enough.

Not much to report lately, Reg got the rest of the front Stripped off last night. We got the ABS pump removed to make room for the new Distribution block (I got one off a 95 YJ) if it doesn't seen too balance right I will buy an adjustable from Summit or Jegs. Waiting on a reply from OME on the availability of The rear springs I would like too run (The new springs are meant for a Nissan Patrol Y61 Dual Rate 250/280 In/Lbs and exactly 2" taller than my old lift springs).

Went over to check her out tonight It's looking awesome, Reg has the wheelbase out to about 111" That's pretty much a 7" stretch so far (It looks Down right mean stretched that far on 35's). Most of the Frame is plated, Front arms are located, The steering box mount is coming together. This thing is going to be awesome. I just ordered up a Wilwood Adjustable proportioning Valve to Dial in the braking when it's all said and done.
