We got home Thursday, not sure when I'll be up for a hellacious drive down to SD though.

Great pics, thanks for sharing. What setup are you running at the front, you seem to get a lot more flex than I can ever achieve. I noticed your running an old man emu lift do you have disconnects as well?
Ya sorry about that! There is not enough space in the sig to list all the mods I have I am running the OME HD coils all around. Up front I have OME struts with two of Rusty's spacers for an additional 1" lift. I am also running the front sway bar disconnected. In the rear I have Fox 2.0 remote resovor shocks with a chopped down poly spacer for an additional 1.5" lift, as well as JKS quicker disconnects for greater articulation. Oh ya and I have HM Engenerring's UCAs. I hope this has helped

Those are awesome pictures. I wish I lived closer to places like that.
How do you like the ride with your modified OME lift? I assume since the suspension on the Grand Cherokee and Commander is the same, this would be possible for either vehicle. Just curious if you have noticed any increased wear and tear on suspension components, especially with the front CV axles and front drive-shaft?

Great pics (and video)! I REALLY need to make a trip to Cali! Maybe next summer.
Also, thanks on the recommendation on the Fox shocks. I really love them!

Thanks guys! I really want to go back out there, but I am waiting on a couple guys to get armored up first so they can come along.
TrialByFire, any time you want to came out I would be glad to show you around! I am glad you like the shocks, I always recommend them because I love them so much myself
Aggie07, I love this lift setup! It rides beautifully on and off road. The handling is surprisingly awesome. I haven't noticed any adverse wear yet. I have been running a modified OME setup for almost a year now without issue. This was always a temporary setup for me. I wanted to see what I could push the OME to and what I could do with it. I have always planned to eventually get the SL to do it right, but this setup has turned out so much better than I expected. I will probably do the SL sometime next year and then start tinkering with it to see what I can come up with. I have some grand plans, but I need to get it paid off first before diving into my custom plans
