Default My Frankenlift is Complete!!!!

Okay, I just spent 30 minutes writing up a long post explaining everything I did and why I did it. After I was done I clicked 'Preview Post' and it brought me back to the login page. My post was GONE!!!

So, here is the EXTREMELY condensed version:

I installed the following:

Rusty's Offroad 3.25" Coil Springs
Currie Adjustable Control Arms (all 8)
Currie Adjustable Front Track Bar
Currie Rear Track Bar Bracket
Currie Front/Rear Sway Bar Links
Currie Rear Coil Spring Retainer
Teraflex 2.5" Bump Stops
Rancho RS9000XL Shocks (RS999331 front, RS999330 rear)
Crown Front/Rear Extended Brake Lines
Spidertrax 1.5" Spacers

TODO -

Install Rock Krawler Front Coil Spring Retainer
Install EVO Rockstar Rear Shock Relocation Bracket
Install Currie Front Track Bar Bracket
Install Dropped Pitman Arm

Here is a quick picture I took with my iPhone:



Shouldn't the Rubicon come from the factory this way?

Not for a while... Next up on my shopping list is reloading equipment before Obama destroys our 2nd Amendment rights.

Thanks! Yeah, but there is a little too much snow here right now for anything other than snow bashing. The roads to my favorite places are closed with about 4-5 feet of snow. :(

Thanks! I was surprised how nicely the stock 32s looked under it. I thought for sure they would look like training wheels on a Tonka truck.
