Adding a picture, after installing the Icon leaf springs. It measures 40" ground to fender in the front and 41" ground to fender in the rear. Slight rake, which I don't mind.

Took the wife out in the truck for the first time since the install and she said "it feels a lot smoother". I will take that as a win.
Are you still on 255/80/17s?

Clearly the judges were drunk - how is a bone stock Bronco (some would consider it an SUV) in the same class as a lowered and customized pickup?

It’s cool but doesn’t hold a candle to your ride.

For same reason someone shows up in a stock exotic car and wins a trophy, or someone with say a $80,000+ limited trim model with only modifications are some vinyl or new rims wins a trophy. I have not been to a car show where a "built not bought" wins awards in a very very long time.

Been working a little bit at a time over the past couple of weeks on this. Re-organizing my exterior wire management. I had these sort of hidden up under the rack previously, but I found when I did maintenance, or needed to swap something out that working with my arms above my head got old. Now the only two ceiling junctions are one for my cargo lights and the very most rear top is a mass-ground distribution box.

I still need to sort and single bundle those back connections that feed into my distribution center into a 1" split mesh wire loom like the other channels.

You can kind of see the 1" split mesh wire loom in the next picture...

Here is the new path that feeds to my driver rear tail light for my signal tap box. I had to sacrifice one strap bracket, but this path is cleaner than the one I used before.

Also, strap brackets make great grounding points!

And this is an example of what these boxes contain (though configuration may differ slightly depending on its use:

You are about an inch taller than my Tremor on the stock tires with a 1" level in the front.
Really? I made the mistake of always taking my measurement from the ground to the fender, vs the hub to the fender. This means I don't know what height comes from the lift vs the tires, vs weight of winch/bumper, vs anything else.

72 degrees and sunny here, so I made a date with Pepper for a bath! Luckily my wife was unaware! Got a Ryobi 18v "pressure washer", but very disappointing. The time-proven regular hose nozzle & sponge bath worked best. Didn't feel like getting the regular pressure washer down from the garage, and my el-cheapo foam cannon was good enough. In the mood, so also did my wife's Escape. Then my sister showed up from FL so had to get the bugs off her new Mazda CX5! It's Miller time?
