Default 1st modification 3"lift/35's

Hello everyone,

Below is pic of my first modification. 3"BDS suspension lift. Mickey Thompson BAJA MTZ 315/70/17 and Pacer soft 8 steel wheels.

Rides great, Better than stock. Very happy with results. Swapped out hard top for soft for the summer.

Shrockworks stubby front bumper, PIAA's, Winch, Body Armor Rear bumper and tire carrier are being added now, hope to have pics by this weekend.

Looks great. They should be shipped from the factory just like that.

Hi John,
My esp triggers about once a week. :sad: Most of the time it's when I'm taking a corner. I think it's engaged twice around the slow winding curves as you've described. I have just accepted it until someone much more savvy than myself figures out a way to compensate for the raised center of gravity. Good Luck with yours!

Hello GG,
I was happy with the acceleration when it was stock and I'm still happy with it now. I don't know if it's because the Sahara with Tow Package came with 4.10 axle ratio but she moves along real well when she needs to.
