I have personal friends who work at HQ in Compton. No real engineers there. And the lifts they do are 99.9% trucks that are usually independent front suspension and also will never go off pavement.

The Pro Comp Jeep lifts are complete and total shit, no matter how bad you want to believe otherwise.



4wheel parts is the Wal-Mart of off road. They have great prices BUT, trying to go off their advice for Jeep lifts is like asking the woman in the Wal-Mart deli for proper dietary nutritional advice.

He laughing because he will probably get away with ripping this guy off. I don't think 3chainz on here is the real owner. If he is then he is obviously as big a moron as the builder. Any sane half intelligent person would have to question this builder after the advice received on this thread by a numerous amount of people.

Although he shouldn't be laughing cause I'm sure he might lose some business over this build. I was pulling for you kind if in the beginning although I didn't agree with some of the things being done (wasn't my taste really). But now after seeing some of the recent work, a lot of the previous bashing is well justified. You clearly have no clue what you are doing. I'm still learning bout jeeps and stuff also but if I had a shop do some of the crap on my jeep that you have done here, I would definitely be getting some money back and taking to a shop that actually knows something.

Now he's claiming that they're leaving stuff in pictures to see if anyone catches it? Sure thing. Convenient way to claim a screw up was a joke. So freaking sad.

When it goes back to the paint shop for touch up and back to mechanic there a list of things that are going be changed or adjusted

Basically this is a test run.

Also anyone who has done any moderate to heavy off-roading does not put Forgi on a 6 inch.

Any one who has ever done any off roading knows Once you go off road things will break even on the most we'll build rigs. Watch any rock crawling video (been watching a few) and past truck races even the best build rigs are liable to fail when pushed to the limit. Not every truck finish the race lots of DNF. Nothing is bullet proof.

When I was at hooper rear end, they had several jeep build by various shop there with broken axel, bent brackets, broken ball joints,stripped splines, failed lockers. They have racks of failed parts and not just jeep but other trucks as well. If you go hard there is a chance thing will bend, snap, break, and come out of alignment. That's just the facts of off road driving. Hell you can watch 100's of fail video on youtube pick a part and type fail and boom a YT video.

Procomp is a great lift for on road driving and "mall crawling" and is very popular in Southern California. Any lift under the right conditions has the possibility that it will fail. Not to mention Procomp has a race team that is located in Compton. I doubt a large organization has no engineers or no development department who is liable to lawsuits and has to get patents and approvals. Not to mention 4WP probably does more lifts in a year than anyone in the industry nation wide.

There are a lot of shop owner posing as members that say they can do it better. Cool post some photos, and if your making your own custom lifts.

I have check out some of your sites, and there a lot of the main stream parts listed on your sponsored sits.


You do realize everything is coming back apart in a two weeks.

I just recommend the owner to drive it to see if there was anything more we need to add or change.

Side note....

As a joke I left a small price of cardboard on top of the king shock in the upper mount on the rear to see if anyone would catch it. But nobody did....

Please post some photo of your current builds. I'm very interested to see what this thread picks apart on them. Don't be afraid. They will always bite.

Please
So it's ok to install suspension components incorrectly and have the owner drive it because you're still going to do some body work in a couple weeks? In what world does that make sense? No one caught the cardboard you hid in the top of the shock mount because there is so much wrong with everything else no one is going to notice that when it's out of focus and out of the way. You posted this as a show off of this super amazing big budget build you were doing and you failed horribly. You and your installers very clearly don't know what you're doing. The C gussets coming off in 2 weeks for body touch ups? What a clown.
