Just did a quick measurement of my projected height versus a stock JK. It is going to be a big bastard.
I mentioned in an above post, that I should have 30" of clearance under the lowest portion of the frame (on the 43's).
Well, sitting on it's stock tires now (same size as a stock JK), it is 11" taller than a stock one.
11 inches of suspension lift. I foresee another message board name change in my future...

So you will be around 88" finished. That is huge. Mine is 79" I may raise it to 80" but that's it. You not going to be very wide with your setup so I would definitely lower it if I were you.

88 inches? That to the top of the roof you mean?
I may come down a bit, but likely not more than a couple inches.
My overall width will be 76 inches to outside of tires. That's about 3 inches wider than a bone stock JK on stock tires and wheels. So ya....quite narrow. If I flip it over a couple times and feel like it's too tippy, then I may drop it a little more.
Right now I am still playing with the front 4 link. Not much new to report, certainly nothing exciting.

76 wide that's crazy. You will slide thru tight turns just like a tj. I'm 84 wide and it's interesting lol

The fact that you'll make adjustments after you roll it instead of being precautionary makes me smile.

Making slow progress, still playing with front 4 link, but I've shortened it up a bit. Pulled the front housing back some, and pending this working, should be a 125-126" wheelbase instead of the 130 I was projecting.
I recall Jan told me his was 115" I think (correct?) So I can live with 10" above that considering I got a full sized family sedan here.
Not much to show new in terms of pics, just a bunch of friggin around. Lol

Lol Ya, mine's 115", its not killing me around trees and stuff. And our widths are the same to outside the tire. It will be fine.

No cash to put into it at the moment, so haven't touched it in a month. In the last month I have put $1000 into fixing up our other JK, bought a snowblower, a sled trailer, and soon a new sled.
Not going to borrow to build a toy so it will sit until I stop buying other crap. Lol
