Even with the lift blocks that doesn't look right. I'd be measuring the guard height. Maybe jk springs in a jku ? Should probably look like that with standard ride height with those bump stops.

Rear wheel centre to guard should be about 550 front 525 for stock height. Give or take.

Will do that tomorrow, when it's light out. Might also start a thread rather than clutter this one up moreso! Cheers for the insight, gents

Today I switched my trackbar bolts over to the shouldered 9/16 sizes, luckily the sleeves in the bushes looked perfect in one end and ever so slightly worn in the other.

Also started to put in my Teraflex discos but with the terrible instructions ended up dicking around for a little while before coming inside to check the YouTube vid, before losing interest. Tomorrow is another day.

Also took this photo of my bump stops, they're frigging huge. I'mma try and source some stock ones so I can have stop bottoming out on tiny bumps. Or should I try to cut down those ones? FWIW MDK the height for front was 530mm (with winch and bar) and rear 568mm.

Something is seriously wrong there.
