No more lift I like the height as is. The primary goal is to put a three link on the jeep, the coil-overs are a result of that. (I will not require coil buckets and it opens up much needed space for links under the jeep) the desired outcome is better street characteristics, less brake drive, a suspension that does not take out the canister when it flexes and the side benefit is better front flex. The biggest reason to do it is for the fab experience, it will be fun. I am sticking to rear springs because it is done and a four link in the rear and 3link in front cost too much.

I am guessing you got the 3-link kit like I saw on polyperformance.com. Yeah, getting the 3-link front and 4-link rear all in one shot IS a lot of money (around $2500 just for the kits, not including the coilovers...if I remember right) to spend at once when you may not have it available either in green mail or plastic. I can sympathize with that. Are you planning on eventually doing the 4-link in the rear? I'll be keeping up with this one so I have an idea of what may be involved, etc. if I undertake such a suspension modification.

If you are trying to keep up with Charles White, you are gonna need more motor. Did you get a good look at his CJ/YJ/F250? The custom Black Diamond is a work of art....

With the present suspension and the arch of travel it has the tire will rip the charcoal canister out of the holder, no biggie I was just grasping at more reason to do the swap. ;D ;D

Craig probably thought you were talking about the 'other' canister Good reason to mod the suspension, other than the extra flex if you ask me Dave G

I say go for it. Everyone either continues modifying what they currently have or they keep on aquiring more projects. Either way, it is a sickness that seems to have no cure.
