Yeah, but do you have some Ford F-150 springs in your lift?

I know someone who does....

So when do you get your lift in?

i just sold some stuff on another forum and made 300 bucks, I am trying to sell my tera flex lift and rubicon springs and shocks to make up for the other 300. I am not sure yet. I will be runnning the lift with the small 32 inch tires for a while but I want more flex then I am getting with the TF and rubi shocks alone. Let me know if you want my lift and springs. The rubi unlimited hard top springs alone would lift your 2 door jeep!

Well, yeah, but only the back end, I don't like the factory rake as is, no need to make it worse

So how are you going to sell your springs and shocks to get the monies for the Rusty's? if you sell your shocks seperately, let me know and I have my old X shocks you can use as loners, until you get your rusty's ones. Can't help you on the springs though....

That may be true about the rear and front springs but the unlimited as a whole is heavier then the 2 door. I saw someone named rubydoo used unlimited springs and a TF lift and saw a huge change. I will be selling it as a complete set with TF shock adapters, BB spacers, springs and shocks. 2 door guys should eat that up... anyway

If i get the kit I will just buy it on the cc then pay that off witht the money from the sold components.

hmmm..... The front half of the Jeep is the same, until behind the driver door.

I don't wanna lift my Jeep just yet.... Yeah yeah, I know, but I just got some new tires, and I don't wanna lift it just yet...

Well sounds like you are the man with the plan... Let me know if you get the kit soon... We need to do it on a Friday, so we can test it out Sat, at Ft. Phantom.....

Well if I get the lift you could bring your rig to my house and we could take the lift and springs off my jeep and install them on yours while I install the rustys lift at the same time. That would be awesome. Just something to think about. I have the spring numbers so you can check them against yours. If the part numbers are different (i think they will be) there is your answer and this will be good info for guys wanting to run unlimited springs on a 2dr.


Rubicon Unlimited Hard Top Springs and Shocks

Rear springs are 4459AA Rear shocks are 752AC

Front Springs are 6315AB Front shocks are 712AD

I will have to think about that....Maybe the springs, just to see... Do you have a spring compressor? That would make things a LOT easier...

Well, let me know when you get that lift ordered...

You dont need a springs compressor, I have installed my TF lift without one and all you have to do is have both tires and wheels off. Its really easy!!!
