I've priced out the CV's already I'm just waiting for them to go. I haven't priced out the front drive shaft out though I figured that would be good for a long time but maybe not.

Yeah, CV's are relatively cheap and easy to replace. Make sure you get one with a "lifetime" warranty... then you only need to buy it once
Driveshafts do normally last longer; but i can see these full time 4x4 systems being tough on it
I've found the front drive shaft used for around $100 scared myself to death when I saw what a front axle costs LOL
Here are the suspension pics. I remembered also that both the upper and lower ball joints were bad also. Because I had new JBA UCAs, they only needed to change the lower ball joints.

From the angle of the front CVs, there shouldn't be a problem with adding another inch of body spacer.
I posted on that "other" forum that the JKS quick disconnects would not fit with the 4" SL. The SL swaybar links are 13" long and the most the JKS discos are rated for is 11.5". I extended the JKS to 11.5" and put them on and I can see no problems. The sway bar has plenty of travel in either direction.

Wow bro you might as well just do my front bumper mod on that jeep bro
All the angles look good bro I like
Thanks for the pics!
And I agree.... 1 more inch probably wouldn't be bad. Wouldn't go much more than that though for the sake of the tie rod and steering rack.

Check the thread out bro chopping the bumper was free man. I put the front guard on it to finish the look off

I do like the look! I'm just freaked out by the idea of taking the sawzall to Sherman. You know, once you start...
