For Christmas of 13, my mother gave me a $200 gift cert for Q-tec. This went towards a 2.5 TF coil lift w/ shock extensions. Took 2 of us all day to install it. Jeep looked good but both front upper shock bolts were frozen. Swaybar links frozen solid. Late and lack of tools we finally finished up. Driving home I had 3 rubi shocks and a sport lol

Oh... Somebody gave me these red seat covers ...Still have them today, but faded and old. Time for a upgrade.
Only pic I have w/ TF 2.5 and stock tires.

1st mod actually. Sprintbooster
Anybody knows how laggy the Jk Is. Try driving a TJ for 11 years ... Then a JK. Hard to get used to the lag. Right now the jeep is still running the SB along with Superchips 93 octane tune. Been over 2 years and runs great. Does lose oil which is common.'

First set of tires I found on CL.
At the time the BF km2 was not in stock in 35x12.5x15
Paired up with Black rock vipers.

It wasn't too long after I switched over to RK 2.5" coils which have me another 1" in height.
I ordered bilstein 5100's because of all the good reviews. Lasted a week. Sold and replaced TF 9550's.
About a month later Rancho 9000's ... No I wasn't done yet with shocks

Steering was a bit flighty with the new height. I found a set of TF Lca's for $150 and got my caster up.

With the bigger tires, it was now time to upgrade the steering.
First ball joints. I went with Synergy's new joint (at the time)
Next steering correction. The Synergy kit, I still feel is the best kit for the money. I did have issues with the older flip adapter and instructions to use a smaller drill bit. Finally got it figured out and bolted up

Big change in steering feel. Very little to 0 bump steer.
