Default Danno 4x4 Rock Eyes

While they might look a little interesting, they are SOOOOOO helpful on the trail. Makes night wheelin' a lot easier.

I had to part with a nice group of decals, but it was worth it.

Another thing, Danno 4x4 is still using the pair he put in in 2003. They are not going to break while you are wheelin'.

This mod is all about function.

The reason I ask is because I am looking into getting another lift in the 4-6" range and I don't want it to end up with too little lift. We have similar mods with front bumper, rear bumper, powerplant, sliders, maybe a sport cage, 37's to come...

Do you think I need to go more than 4". Specifically, I am mainly looking at the full traction 4" or the full traction 6".

Oh yeah, I am planning on getting pure jeep tube fenders if and when they ever come out.


Firstly, I love my lift kit. It handles great on the road, the highway, mountain roads, around town. And I have totally enjoyed it off road. Minimal rubbing issues at any time on our Colorado trails trip, and if it does rub, it seems to be the front bumper (stock, I still don't have the new one and winch, which should alleviate some of that rub. I have no complaints about it at all. But I won't actually know for sure if I will need to 6" kit until after the cage and the bumper and the powerplant are added. That's a few hundred pounds, and I am just anticipating the possibility that 4'' won't be enough, and I might rub more thereafter. It's like me and a kid standing on the bumper. It sags a little.

Screamin Lizard is checking into how much it would take to convert to a 6", but I might just put some spacers to my springs for a much cheaper fix.

I am unavailable this weekend, but if we can arrange to meet somewhere some time, you can check out my Jeep if you'd like.

It seems like you and your friends are proficient working on the Jeeps, but if you need a shop to do the install, I have been VERY happy with Gerry at Screamin Lizard. They have done almost all of my work, and will do the future mods as soon as I can save up some more bucks.

We were just at Screamin Lizard yesterday to pick up our Dana 44 front axles.
After Crunchy and I saw your your post about your Full Traction lift being put on by them we started going there for the things that we could not do. I am taking my Jeep in a week or so for some work.
We will be working on installing the axles this weekend (starting friday) so if you end up having some time to stop by just let me know.
