The build/re-build of Gruff

So the brakes ended up winning. Even after throwing a new caliper on it I couldn’t get any fluid to bleed so onto the trailer and to the shop it went. Don’t feel bad now. Buddy called asking wtf I did to this thing. Ended up replacing the whole line, pulled both rear axles because the e-brakes were trash, and on and on. Figured while he had it that far apart it was upgrade time. Needed tires anyways. Clayton 2.5” lift, Bilstein shocks, Fuel wheels and 35”Wildpeakes. Looks great & rides better. Mrs Gruff is happy

Which Clayton kit did you get? I installed the the Overlander kit on mine... it's been completely bomb proof for 5 years now. My only "complaint" is the rear springs are a bit stiff, causing me to to have to install spacers up front to level things out. But that's probably due more to my front bumper and heavy ass warn 8274. The upside is I pulled off my rear sway bar 4 years ago and haven't missed it. Lol...

I did their Ride Right 2.5" kit with Bilstein 5100's. Very basic - comes with adjustable front upper control arms, springs, raised rear track bar mount, front track bar, brake line mounts & sway bar links. I wanted to keep stock CA's for the ride quality. This Jeep may see dirt roads & thats likely it - this is 100% a mallcrawler. So far I'm a fan. Rides great looks exacty like we wanted.

Hell, even if it's basic that's still a quality build! 🍺
