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.
