So give us the details....hows it done? Tease!
I had a shop cut one ring 2.75' off the rear springs and spiraled it back to factory to fit back in the cup.The front was trimmed 3'4" off the springs ground down .At the end if you looked at them they looked like they came out of a box and were identical to the stock but shorter.The WK1 had 6" of travel the WK2 has 8" so there is no difference.Personnally it feels better it's easier to get in before I had to climb in and step up .The camber was a big issue.It was fixed .If I went a hair lower it would not work.The ride is exactly the same. The Track and Sport dial work the same no clearance issues and no rub running with 305/35ZR22'S all the way around on 22x11's I thought it would be a problem.There is only one thing it looks 300% better.I'm sure they will be jacking off for a while doing a lowering kit.I couldn't wait and pulled the trigger

Rides the exactly the same Sport & Track Dial works the same.There is alot of travel on the stock jeep.I took away 2.5 to 2.75" off the rear and 3/4" off the front.The problem is the camber had to make pan bars.The only other problem is it looks 300% better.I keep hearing about Eibach and H&R coming out with a kit.If they go more than 2"s the camber is a problem and they will have to provide adjustable pan bars.Here is a video

Its better I show you with pictures in any event everything was removed and the shop run 3" stainless steel rather than stock OEM 2.75" created a crossover and placed (2) 10" resonators.They took the OEM exhaust valves and widened them to fit the 3" pipes and placed them in the original location to mimic the exhaust for back pressure as well the ECO system.They put back the OEM tips back.The exhaust valves is why the aftermarket exhaust people are having a hard time coming out with a system.The shop that did the exhaust said the OEM Stainless exhaust valves are the finest his shop has ever seen.He tried to order them from the factory for his racing systems that they make, Mopar told him they are not avaliable or for sale

Awesome! I just said in another thread how white/grey were my favorite but now seeing what you did here, man I could copy your ride and be a happy man with that black!

And what wheels precisely?! Look great, best 5 spoke Ive seen, even better than stock WK SRT wheel I think.

My latest build in its current state. Side molding is brushed aluminum in place of the factory plastic and the snorkel is from River Raider off-road.
