New IRO 4.5" Spring Pack + Add-a-Leaf?

You need to get it flexed out and settle in but, I would definitely consider installing the SRB's and getting getting a longer shackle to reduce the angle and give you a better ride.
 
Longer shackle + increased angle might net the same lift?

Will settle it in and see but will add 4.5" Metalcloak progressive up front with CAD and see what I need in the rear to recreate the stance + angle and lift.

That's a bit more angle than I got with my RC 4.5" lift springs and 4.8" c-to-c shackles at the stock shackle mounting location. If the IRO springs are as soft as stated, this will probably ride pretty decent, but if too firm (if that's possible for your needs), then laying down the shackle will soften it up.

That's exactly what I did with my SRB installation. My final results were within 1/8" of before but with longer shackles and more shackle angle.
 
Thanks for hangin' with me guys. Metalcloaks are on order. They say about a week to get but they're coming from next door (CA) so hope to see them before the weekend.

Was that with no-lift SRB?

Not on bumpstops or shock limit.

Looking good I wouldn't change a thing unless you just want it on bigger looking tires.
 
If anything I would do a "cut-n-fold" on the rear quarters, you say you don't wheel, but it will make the Jeep look taller.

Yup, gotta look that one up when I get WiFi back online. Have a body saw.
