Finally my lift is on I went with J all around and extended my 3 frame to axle brakelines. I disconnected the front sway bar, no castor correction still haven't experience any wondering or weaving even at 80 mph. I will still correct the castor once the DC driveshaft is in the budget and after I add a spacer to take some of the stinkbug away that way I don't have to change castor correction twice. First ramp pic is after the lift and the second pic was stock. I still think I had more room to go, but ran out of ramp the back tire was still flat on the ground.

:clap: I like my J setup.
 
Looks good. Post some before and after pics on level ground.

Id wait till the springs break in before gettin rid of the rake. When i first put the lift on ppl were telling me I got 5" in the rear out of ome mediums. Its settled a bit now but its still got a mean rake.

D
 
ya my premeasurement was 34 and 1/4 all around after was 38 in the front and 39 in the rear. Also the new nitrocharger sports are super nice.
 
I liked my j spring set up. I have noticed some decline in height however.
 
worth to replace the old model .. ?

not sure how the old nitrochargers were, but these are a lot better than the stock shocks that were on there.

Over what length of time?
I have noticed mine settle about an inch in the last year, I do wheel mine quite often and flex a whole lot due to the trails we wheel.I will tell you that I have put around 35,000 miles on mine in the last year and couldn't be happier, I have yet to correct castor, extend break lines, or swaybar endlinks, but will be shortly (I snapped one of my rear end links in half)Looks Good Man!!!

Thank you, and that is good info. Mine is my dd and where I wheel there is a lot of flex as well so I will have to see how much mine settles.

I would say about 6 months and I lost a little over an inch and a half in the front and a little less than that in the rear.
To be fair I did add a extra battery to the front,an Ipor skid in the middle and a ipor rear bumper with swingout to the rear. The rear has hardly lost any height. When I throw my trailer and all my junk in the back it sits level.
