Thanks for the input, although I won't make up my mind until I order one I guess.
I've even been thinking OME and saving some money. Seems like there has been a lot of positive feedback with it too. Once I get the buy back done next week, I can start getting some jeep goodies that I've wanted for a while.

the bigger the lift the more the problems with angles and dangles and drive shafts etc. etc.

Kaboom!

read around real good 'fore u decide.

I was told by dealship that 3" lift was max without upsetting warrenty.
No idea if its true or not.
But after doing a 3" I can see why it would be true.
If I was them I would bale out at 2" lift.
EVERYTHING changes.

So make sure u change EVERYTHING.
Or you'll be going back and doing add ons and retro fits.

But what the hell! It's a Jeep not a car!

JKFirefighter,
I see you're in Jacksonville; I'm originally from Grants Pass. My brother owns Sinister Customs in Grants Pass and knows Jeeps inside and out. He specializes in lifts and custom paint work. PM me and I can hook you up if it helps.

Here's a couple pics of one of his Rubys doing the redneck thing

I really like the flex that the Currie kit provides. IMO it has the best flex out of any of the short arm kits out there.



SDMF's has some great photos of it flexing out. i will see if i can get him to post some up. If i was going to go with a short arm kit it would be the Currie kit for sure!

What would it take to stuff 37s under the FT 3" besides tube fenders?
