Unfortunetely, it was dark out before I got my Jeep back. Will have to wait for pics.

The ride is much stiffer now. I am happy about that. The back sinks just a hair. I am hoping that with the new front bumper and winch it will correct.

Had it installed today at 4Wheel Parts in Westminster, CO. I am impressed with it. Not too mention the huge discount I received. I think I only paid $1399 for the kit. I could not even find it that cheap on the internet. He also discounted the labor. I am quite pleased to say the least.

The photos really do not show how well this Jeep is lifted. I have to say, I am very pleased with the lift kit. Drove it work today. It is offering me everything I wanted from stiffer springs. Ride is ruffer, but what I was looking for. I cannot wait to try it off road.

I do have an added 0.75" spacer to the back. It still has a slight sag. Folks are blinking their high beams at me. I am hoping that the new front bumper and winch will help with that. Whenever it comes in.

Next is regear.

I know my tires look so tiny, not soo much in person like the photo, but small none the less. I only have 10 on these, I have burn up atleast another 10K before I am willing to change.

Lift looks great, now it's time to get some new tires and get rid of those bologna skins.

 

what are bolonga skins, fenders? I'm planning to put on Bushwaker flat fenders.

 

Bologna skins=skinny tires

 

I have the same lift. The rear spring with The lift ride low. I actually Installed the re 3.5" spring in front and the 4.5" in the rear to level it out. I love the way it rides, but rubicon express has something wrong with there spring height.

 

Looks great, let us know how it handles off road.

 

Looks awesome! How are the rancho shocks?

 

So far the shocks and lift are working.

I have the exact ride I was wanting on the street. It is stiffer than stock, but that is the ride I wanted. I will say however, that I was disappointed that the rear springs sagged with my rear bumper and tire carrier system by Rockhard 4x4. I had originally placed a 0.75" spacer with the stock springs and they shop added the same spacers to the lift kit. I think I am level now. However, once I put on the jerry cans, I will sag again.

The Rancho shocks are great. I like that fact that they are adjustable. I cannot wait until I get the chance to go off road.

I ordered the Bestop narrow front bumper with winch guard. I am planning to install that this week. I think once I get a winch to go on the bumper, it is going to offer the exact rake that I am looking for.


Again, with the combination of the Rancho shocks and the Rubicon Express 3.5" short arm supper flex lift kit, the ride is great on the street. Exactly what I was looking for.

Will post after an off road experience.

 

looks good, really needs new meats though.
