Yates, is this kit offered in a slightly less lift height, say 3" or 4"?

 

Hey DT,

Sorry, it's not. Other than the BLs we offer, the next kit that will be released will be a LA kit which I believe is slightly taller.

Looks good Denny, let us know how it turns out when you get everything finished. And post some more pics!!!!

 

Here's a before and after pic. It was raining in the after pic and didn't take very well so I'll take another one later.

 

That looks really good on 35's. Have you driven it much yet? What are your impressions?

 

Ordered!!!

 

Thank you!

 

I think you'll be very happy with your purchase. I'll post up a few things that I learned while doing my installation that might make your install go a little easier.

As for the ride, it's both a little more firm and smoother. I can feel more bumps going through a parking lot, but it's smoother going down the highway. Before, I had a slight vibration in the steering wheel once I hit 50mph, and occasionally the vibration would turn into a shimmy. I thought I had a wheel out of balance. I've gone 70-75mph a few times over the past couple days and there is absolutely no vibration or shimmy. The jeep seems to track down the highway better too. I'm guessing the new control arms corrected whatever issues I was having on the highway.

 

Did you order the kit with the drive shafts? I've got the drive shafts, but haven't installed them yet.
I was looking at my front drive shaft and saw this:

I knew the accordion boot was losing grease.


But I had no idea the CV boot was slinging grease. I saw this before I ever left the driveway with the new lift installed. So the damage was done while running a 2.5" lift.

 

Hey Denny,

What are your initial thoughts on the driveshaft quality? I can't seem to find their specs anywhere.

Thanks!
