I think that one will work for me as well but we will have to compare. I need the under dash harness. I would also be interested in the engine harness as well if you don't need it. I'll pm you.

They don't all have to be trail rigs. An option for a spring lift would be to get some custom springs made by Alcan. They can set them up for any type of lift/ride you are looking for.

With 31" and a couple of inches of lift it would still be a great rig to take down forest roads and get its feet dirty every once in a while. ;)

It was painted at a friends shop. I know it is not the approved visqueen wrapped tarp barn method but we made do.

Thanks for the lift info and I am waiting to hear back from my email to Alcan. I am going to try the AAL for a few miles and see how they feel. If Alcan can get a soft ride I might go with them or get a factory set of springs and do a shackle reverse kit from Rock Laurence. I am not too concerned with having it at full flex so I would like it as low as possible while still clearing the 31X10.50.

Finally got it somewhat back together.

Was told that it could not be a real Wagoneer resto without some visqueen so I set up the best I could.
