ITS IN AND ALIVE! If you cant tell I'm super excited to be driving it again. I will post some of the repair pics soon.
I have a 4" by rough country on it but the lift is gutted only thing left is coil springs. Plan on going to a 4.5-5" on it with long arms. Need a rear bumper and front locker. I also plan on taking out the small rear seat and building a tall lock box in it.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

That looks great! I went with rough country long arm kit, I'm fairly happy with it, although my bushings squeak like crazy until I'm at cruising speeds....
Love seeing new builds of wj's. I remember when I was doing the same and 3 lifts later I ended up with long arms and 4.5" of lift. I just was never happy with 2" then 3" lifts. Would've been way smarter and cheaper for me to just do it the first time.
Be careful with the drop kits from iro. Make sure to re torque the bolts every few months. I've seen and heard of some backing out over time.
It's looking great so far though!!
No that's not me in the pic! Haha

My friend did the RC long arm upgrade with IRO springs and control arm on his 03 WJ. I like your bull bars.
Here are some before and after pics of the wheel spacer. Now I can turn all the way without rubbing. :)

So long time no update. I was able to finally go out and test my 4" lift. I now know that I will extend my bump stops in the front a rear. I was rubbing hard and that was causing my Jeep to get stuck a few times as tires where wedged in my wheel wells.
Here is another one of me trying to go up soft sand. I should have aired down and gave it more gas.
