Finished burning in everything and started prepping for paint.
Bought some POR-15 and used it on the entire rear frame and mounts and painted the Rock Jock with it. A fair amount of the day was spent prepping everything with degreaser and etching the metal. Got the T, lines and mounts for my Crown brake lines. I am running Crown SS lines from my JK rear calipers to the truss, then running hard line to the T and then back to some SS line at both ends of the drivers side upper arm.
I had some concerns about the POR-15 product and how it would adhere to the stock paint on the frame and is the reason I spent some extra time degreasing and etching everything. POR is very viscous (almost water consistency) and the first coat had streaks, after sitting for a couple minutes the streaks go away and after sitting for 30 minutes it almost looks like powder coat. I applied two coats, it takes approximately 2-6 hours to setup then you can apply the second coat.
Here is a picture of the bump stop installed. It is simple but get's the job done and is easy to adjust for any tire size changes I make to the rig.
Almost Everything reinstalled! Need to change the springs out to 150/250 and then install the sway bar.
