Default finished lift+rims+bumper

Here you go.... Fultraction finally sent me my rear spacers. They trimmed out a 1/2 inch in the center that gave me a 1/2 inch lip to hold the spring in. So the rear lift is only a 1 1/2 inches. I put them in yesterday and they seem to work fine. Thanks again to Fultraction for their help. It was great of them to help me when the dealer I bought the lift from would not. I also changed my rims to 16/8 victory aluminum rims. The steel ones would not balance correctly at high speeds. These victory's work great. I put my rear bumper on yesterday. You would be very surprised at how cheap the stock bumper is. I don't think it weighs 5 lbs. There is not a piece of steel in it.

Here's some pics:

Very Nice! What is your evaluation of the fit and finish of the Mopar bumper? It sure looks good in the pics.

Ditto!! How do you like the Mopar rear bumper and how much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

We have the Steel Blue as well. Great to see what the lift and tire combo looks like on a rig like mine. Just another benefit of the forum. Nice looking Jeep you got there.
