Default Just Lifted! Budget Style

Hey guys, just lifted my '10 JK last night. I did a budget system and i'm more than impressed with the results!

Purchased OEM Rubi Shocks & Springs (18/59's) and Pro Comp 1.75" (Daystar Comfort Lift). Total cost was $252.

I'm an idoit and did not take before measurements to see know actual gains, but it looks significant. My guess would be 2.75-3"

Note- I previously had 14/56 springs.

Looks cool man, I'm about to do the same deal with mine. I'm just looking to get a little altitude above stock.

I can give you the answer...

I took both images and put them into paint.net. I cut the image of "Sport" and pasted that over and over in the space between the tire and fender flares.

In the before photo you can fit sport in there 3.5 times. In the after photo, you can fit sport in there 6 times.

So almost 100% increase.
