I would recommend adding the diff cover, unless you already have one on it.

I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...

Smike..
you still have the other springs right?
might need to do a flip flop on them and need to get new isolators...

sits like a drag car..
im going to throw some tree trunks in the bed to see if the rears settle down a bit..

the short list before I body and paint.. just to stay organized...

M4 work
extended front sway bar links
coil spring isolators and perhaps spacers (additional max 1.25)
possibly swap out front springs for HC ones.. Rancho springs might be too tight
Ford 8.8 in rear
flange adapter and balance driveshaft

Scotty's
New motor and trans mounts
New Coolant hoses
95-98 ZJ prop valve @ MC
new hard lines and front flex lines
02 sensor

tried to shim door hinge and door blew too far open...
needless to say the driver side front fender for certain new needs to be replaced before paint...  Might have a body shop look at door alignment...
