That's great news. Lifts are all about purpose, they don't all need to be 4" running 35's with huge flex. My list is only 55mm and is perfect for what I do.

Who knows down track if I start using it harder then I have, but in its current form it out performs my old disco that had a 3" lift.

I have the typical JK 'lean' to the right, so ordered some 3/4" PPm spacers from DBOR. They were out of fronts at the time, but sent me the rears by request. I fitted the one in the right & now the rear seems to sit flat. Just waiting for the fronts to come after Easter. Onya DROR!

Also I backed into a tree... In my defence, the bugger was growing up to about a meter, then almost horizontal, so I couldn't see it in the mirror. It was just high enough, that the bottom of the spare was where it hit. As a result, I now need a new spare carrier...



On the bright side, as hard as the hit was, the door still opens & closes with no problems.

Guess you need teraflex to hurry up and release their rear door solution!

I need to update the details of my JK suspension setup. I'm pretty pleased with it.

Well since I wasn't wheeling or camping over Easter thought I would get into the rear storage in the Jk.
Always hated the rear area being about 5 different levels and making it impossible to slide stuff in and not being able to access the storage box if there was gear in the back.
So i gutted it, drilled out the toolbox brackets and chiseled out the gunk CJD lay in the rear to try and level it out. Then with a nearly flat deck I got some 12mm marine ply and routed out the ribs on the floor and coated it in marine carpet.
Left an access door for the toolbox and then mounted my modified Engel fridge slide.
Two days work including fitting the new drawer slides in the old engel frame.
Happy with the results!!


32l Engel and 54l esky!

Looks good Macca, What did you use as the mounting points for the shelf? Can't really see it properly in the pics
