A little update on the suspension. I think I have the front coil overs dialed in now. The springs that Accutune recommended seem to be spot on. Only had to adjust the ride height a little for side to side. With my home brew front radius arms my front suspension ended up being 1/4in higher than it was with the leaf springs. Really happy about that. And I have a full 5 in up and 5 in down travel. I may adjust the front down that 1/4 so it will end up the same as with leafs. Absolutely LOVE the way it rides now!!!! It does have a little body roll now. But that will be remedied when I do the coil overs in the rear as I will be adding a rear sway bar. My front bar may be a little soft for the coil overs. I am using a stock 60 series sway bar in the front.
I always had a rear squat with the rear Jeep coils, so for the summer I picked up a set of 1.5 in lift rear coils, I will get them in this week. Next winter I plan on changing over the rear to coil overs as well.

I've got zero time, but i think I've got a spare speed sensor. I could probably get some measurements and 3D print something. I think it's just an o-ring'd plug with a tab holding it to the case? I can't remember for certain
Does your old one have a screw in section for the cable? Yes glue on a plastic cap. Or use it to make some sort of plug. Use silicon mold gel to make a mold around it. Then use a couple of tubes of JB Weld to cast a plug.

If you don't really care about the speedo sender spinny thing, you could just... Leave it in? It'll just be spinning there. Maybe cap it off with a rubber cap or a junky speedo cable end?

Awesome! Thank you!
Way easier than what i had in mind
Yes, great price for what looks to be a great solution. Making/fabing your own cures to a issues can be very rewarding, plus there may come a time when there is no store.
