Default New way to level out your JK!



All kidding aside, I could not resist taking this picture before putting the rear wheels on.
So the new Skyjacker 2.5 inch suspension lift went on yesterday and the new 35" wheels and tires arrived this morning and all turned out pretty decent. The only problem was the bozo who installed my lift yesterday removed my stock spring isolator and put in the new 3/4" spacer. This did nothing for leveling out the front of the Jeep. So I am taking the Jeep back tomorrow to have the isolator installed below the new 3/4" spacer. This should help out allot in the front. As it sits right now, there is no rubbing at full turn on the front tires...
A couple of more modifications to the rear track bar mounts to beef them up and I will be done for now...Or are we ever done doing things to our toys??

Yes 12.5 and the tire sidewall sticks out exactly 1.5". I am not too worried about it right now. We'll see what the State Patrol thinks about it, which I doubt they will notice...

I ordered them through off road toy store, Chris was really great to work with. These are the 6089 Pro Comps 17x8. (5) Wheels, 35" Pro Comp Extreme All Terrain tires, lug, locks (2 sets), caps, mount and balancing delivered to my door for $2000.00, and more importantly they were in stock! I have to share a pic from today with the top down for the 1st time!
