No more waiting for the roller pics.
We have touch down.
Wasn't sure if I would reach my goal of getting a roller before the end of the year, but made it without taking any shortcuts.
Swaybar is pretty big at 36 mm solid the same as the SRT version. Should help its road handling a lot which is what this is built for.
I now can compare its height compared to the Grand Cherokee was before strip down. Front dropped an 1.5" with the 2.5" lowering springs and the rear is actually an 1" higher than the stock springs due to the lack of rear weight. No rear doors, hatch, roof, rear seat and glass etc. adds up to quiet a bit and wont be added back. Will drop some more once the tray and cab etc are added though, so hopefully level out.
Just running the donor wheels and tyres for the moment. They wheels are 17x7.5 with 6.25" of back spacing, ET +50.8. Tyres 245/65R17 which measure 29.5" tall. I looking at running some 17x8.5" Centerline Forged Smoothies with ET +32. These will more the tyres outwards 3/4" each side. Tyres will be either 235/80R17, if they will be alright on that wide a rim, or failing that, 245/75R17. Both measure 32" tall.
