.........................can 't wait to see the pics. It's always nice when they grow up.

 

For sure. Gotta get it out now!

 

Well just got in and resized some pics to show off. No idea how to make the pics visible without a link ... sorry

So here are some pics of the TF 2.5 coil lift, the "before", the install and the after. The pics may not truly display the size difference but I gained 3" and it feels like twice the rig driving and wheeling over stuff .

I am very happy with the finished product. The pics also don't do the 33"s justice. Up close and personal the JK looks like twice that of its former self! I took a rip down to work to see some of my friends and they were all blown away by the difference. The pics make the wheel wells look a little empty but I swear seeing it up close it looks sweet!!

I'm glad I went 33"s with this lift as it looks proportionate. Not that 35's wouldn't have been great but I'll follow Rubisteve and upgrade the hell out of it in another couple of years. Right now going with 33" and the 2.5 lift allows me to add both bumpers, winch, roof rack and lighting in a reasonable time frame (spring).

Anyways heres some pics!

 

More pics...

 

almost done...

 

And a shout out to NORTHRIDGE4x4! for helping me get my gear for a great price and timely manner!!

The last two pics are just shots of how far the wheels and tires stick out. Once again the tires are LT285/70R17's and the wheels are Pro comp series 98's with 4.25" back spacing.

 

looks good man congrats. 33s will take you everywhere 35s can and with the lift you have the articulation will be unreal........

sidenote it looks dam cold up there.

Thank! yeah it's actually not that bad. I think the wind chill is making it feel a little below zero. We just had 2 days of mild snow fall... give it a month! Then it will be F***ing cold!

 

Looks good dude......I knew you would be happy with it....wait till you get it offroad, you will be impressed how well the suspension will flex....hard to tell by the height of your garage, but 35's would still fit right?

I like your plans......mod the hell out of it (big lift) in a couple years....you will be ready for it then....

Congrats on the new mods, ur rig looks good....look forward to seeing the bumpers in the future

 

THANKS! The garage measures 81"... 35"s would fit but its the added height of a roof rack that causes problems. I was sitting at 70" before the install and now I'm at 73"... so with the remaining 7 and 3/4 inches (so not to rub) I may still not be able to go with a rack?? ... I will have to check and see what the MBRP rack adds for height.

The front bumper is planned for the last pay of December. I will install it myself but will be also adding spacers in the front at the same time to compensate for sag... Winch and dual battery set up will be done together prob by Feb and I would really like to add on board air but that will depend on how much more OT I work... I've been doing an added shift each block off since the beginning if Sept ... BUT I am super stoked to make the Whipsaw this spring and that keeps me goin so I can pay for the upgrades!
