Only having 1" of droop will make for a very very rough ride, on and off road. You will limit your suspension on just about every bump, and the jarring feeling is annoying. I would see about taking 1 or 2" of lift out. You really dont want to go up much higher than 2" above stock, by either combo of tbar or bj spacer. Your going to have to do somthing to either bring the rear end back down, 4.25" lift is WAY too much if you dont have a bracket lift upfront. On the trail you will be really tipsy as it wont take much to get the front fully dropped, then allyou have left to compensate with is the body, makes it feel very top heavy. When I had my POS rancho arms up front I had about 3" lift.. which gave me about 3" droop, even still it was little enough I could pull a front tire driving around town, really scared the ลลลล out of me (and my 4 pax) the first time, front left was about 3-4 feet in the air...

Not sure why the pass side drooped more, maybe the bumpstop is more worn out... its the upper control arm that limits droop, not the bottom.

very very nice BT. Now all you need to do is install the locker, oh and an alignment.
