Nice build, really clean Eco installation, what I have had in mind. I have an Explorer, just had it made 5" shorter. What torsion bars are you running? Mine has the same 2X3 Tony arms with stock IRS 23.5mm bars and an AC currently, too soft. Thinking about going to bags and torsion bar eliminator, cost is about the same as new 26-28mm bars. Yours look like they are maintaining good clearance with the added weight of the Eco motor.

Mine is still a little soft. It'll bottom out if I hit a rut or something pretty hard , gonna try 1-3 more degrees later on this winter. Stock torsions. May have to upgrade

Also, if you're 5"shorter you may have issues keepin th front down. Mine is 104"wh base. & I have the bat,& a winch up front & it feels about the same as the old 100" a/c buggy I had.

I didn't want to take away from your thread. I was just wanting to know you can do different things to the suspension to get a better ride and not bottom out. those air shocks have worked good for at least 4 years now.
