back then mine were 28.75 ext x 16.5 collapsed for front and 29.83 ext x 17.32 collapsed. but come to think of it i did move the rear uppers up... but front which everyone is showing fit fine.

As dr said i also had to move my computer....and cut up windshield fluid holder and move esp...Driver side had to remove air box and make new battery tray as stock was way to bulky but i also moved the front axle forward.

 

The reason I ask about your shocks was because of the length , my 12" travel shocks measure 31" extended and 19" collapsed and that's why I had to move my front mounts

 

I wish I knew how to do some of the things you guys know how to do. How do you guys learn how to do this stuff? I need to find me a mentor. ><

 

I cant take credit for mine. I paid a friend to do my entire lift, which consisted of stretching the wheel base and 3 linking both ends. I was just a helper I do like to turn wrenches and design and fab things,, but I don't have anywhere near the time, equipment, or room in my garage to do most of this stuff. Maybe when I retire Ill step it up.

 

i had hardly ever grinded, welded or anything before and my auto work was very basic. I just got the balls to say screw it ill try and learn and used the forums a ton for help. Just have to be careful who you take advice from sometimes. All in all i learned a ton and now have a lot more confidence in my knowledge..but its only on the jks i would have to re learn everything if i ever got a different vehicle.

 

^^^Agree with this. I've self taught on everything (although for welding I eventually decided to take classes so I don't worry about my welds failing).

It's a binary process to become skilled. You either pick up a tool one day and go at it, or you don't.

There's plenty of info and videos if you aren't sure on something.

 

Gotcha. That's kinda what I did when I used to work on my motocross bike some years ago. Only I'm more paranoid about screwing my jeep up.

I've learned a ton from the forums as far as mental knowledge. I guess I'll just have to pick up a wrench and duct tape and see what I can break and fix on the jeep. ><
