2013 2 Door Crush Build with lots of pictures

I'm digging the orange! Great color, esp on a 2door! The way your Jeep has transformed is awesome!
Do you wish you had long arms for your Kings? How does is ride compared to coils? Sorry for all of the questions... I have 2 door on 35's with a long arm kit on it and contemplating whether or not to do Kings first or axle upgrade. My goal is to get to 37's but i'm in no hurry to get there.

IMO,If i could do it again I would've done axels first. Did some cycling today and am gonna have to rethink my setup. Rear coils are too soft to get my kings to get a substantial amount of movement. Not sure which coils I'm gonna change. 2 Doors weigh hardly anything. Even with a Smittybilt bumper and me sitting on the front on a fork lift I don't have enough weight to get them moving really.

Edit: The long arm situation sure I'd like to have LA but my short arms do me plenty good. My angles are pretty good I'm all adj. in rear and front lowers.

Looks sharp. Let me know how us like me and if they're too bouncey. Love the color. Here's my jeep

Lookin good man, There a little stiff ( or my rear is too soft ) you can read the post above to get the total idea.
 
Did you disconnect your sway bar?

After starting another thread about it someone also pointed that out in some pictures. I dont think my rubicon sway bar was disengaged properly. Will jump on it in the morning and see if that was it. fingers croseed.:doh:

I haven't wheeled them yet going this weekend, however i did get to go do a little high speed test. On the 4th I was doing about 30+- a few through farmland and I might as well have been on the street. I switched my bilstiens however to a shock thats a little less stiff and have it paired with the evo plush coils in the rear. It was incredibly smooth. I got everything sorted out with the flexing issue, my sway bar mechanism had been jammed up into itself and just needed a good whack. But I'm headed out this weekend to get on some trails. Will have the final review then, so far I'm pleased.

Full stuff, upfront but the rear had some to go and front had more droop. VERY pleased.
Road ride might as well be in an airplane.
Love everything about it thus far.

So it's been a pretty long weekend. I went to Wooly's Offroad Park in Lynville TN. Got out there and hit some pretty gnarly trails to test out everything. Went awesome made it up everything and never had a tire lift. Ride was really smooth as well.

Had some issues with my drag link / TRE. Called synergy said it was installation error based of pics I sent. Dropped the Jeep off this morning said they had fought it during installation and been on call with synergy and synergy told them to bore it out just a hair bigger. The TRE sat too low, hoping it was just a faulty TRE or taper they have overnighted both new pieces and are reinstalling tomorrow. I think however this might result in having knuckle issues being bored out too much. Only time will tell. Had a great time this weekend though, got some body damage, and EOR is taking care of all the faulty parts. Hopefully, it will end with tomorrow's work.
Couldn't get many good pictures but got what I could.

At least your adapter didn't explode like mine did!

Yikes, been there and done worse though I know the feeling. 6 months ago I went out with a friend. We blew a flat (40'' Super Swamper), broke the adapter at the TC on the rear drive shaft and u-joint, front ring and pinion, then while getting towed the guy towing us must have been hammered he was going way to fast in his buggy and my friend lost control and steered straight into a rock bending his tie rod to a nice 90 degree angle. While trying to winch out his warn fried.

Needless to say it was a long day.. tried to get an 6x6 to pull us out and he couldn't reach us. Around 7:30 that night a fella on his 4wheeler came up he stopped I said "Wanna buy a Jeep?" he called his son over and said "I'll give ya all the money I have in my pocket for the Jeep" Surely enough he somehow whips out 2G in cash. My friend and I have our own business and had a square device. We settled a little higher he paid the difference on his cell phone using square and we left with an empty trailer. I have a video to document as well haha.
 
Not going trail riding today but i am going to do some road traveling pics up later!

But I got to an RTI ramp this morning!

Love my setup.
