I was under my Jeep;



I put a TF Jk leveling kit , TF wheel spacers and found some Rubi tires in Homestead, had the wheels powder coated, it was my kids idea to paint the calipers red.

Still trying to get used to the black!

Next week - CB.

That is all I could get by the wife without looking like I was spending a whole lot!

And that other red jeep is my '93 which I kept for the kids. Glad I keep it too cause it was sad leaving it in the drive way after driving it for 16 years!

Looks good... I was just looking at the same kit last night.
What size spacers did you use?
Any pictures of the side and front available?
How long did it take?
No, I not writing a novel (my apologies for all the questions)

The powder coating looks real nice. I might do that myself.

I may have to free up some more finances especially after you breezed through the proving ground at Hardrock RIGHT in front of me standing in the middle of it.


It's not a lift it's a "leveling kit"

I put some pics in my Gallery.
The wheel spacers are Tera Flex, says 1" in the book, I didn't measure.
Powder coating was more than I wanted to spend but after looking at some pics on this site I thought it looked cool.
It seems the price in South Fla. is higher than the rest of the country from reading the posts on this forum, I had quotes from $50 - $100 per wheel, I was afraid to go with the lowest one so I paid $65, the shop said they use 5 processes so it sounded good.
The leveling kit took about 5 hours but I'm still recovering from a broken collar bone and don't have all my strength back yet. It was pretty easy.
Just an FYI if you get the kit, Joe from Tera Flex said no alignment needed, but the instructions said get one, so I have a lifetime deal so I had one done and it wasn't needed.
