Just installed it? Like your entire jeep is only lifted two inches? Do a V8 swap. That should drop the front a little bit.

Drop shackles? No. Just the shackle relocation brackets which i've made a set of. I plan on buying the Rusty .75" shackle relocation brackets. (http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-...able-pair.html)

Haha I saw this photo and lost my shit, but I tought this would be your kind of thing

Ford 5.0 V8's are fetching a nice price, I'm thinking of it now
hmm, yeah sometimes I can't be a cheapass about everything

AP if your in the States why wouldn't you get a 3.5'" RE kit from Morris. IMHO I think that would be the way to go.

Oh yes. Everyone celebrates the 4th of july, gets piss drunk, and decides it's a great night to fire off their new guns because it'll sound like fireworks. You're missing out over there.

That would be a sight. Please do a writeup on that.

Honestly, i haven't looked into RE (i've been reading up on OME) but i'll go start checking out RE kits.

Still figuring out where i want to go with this jeep.

Wooders sells plenty of RE kits over here and Dave has tested a lot of product. I only have re CA's but they are awesome. Really nice flex joint, strong and well made. Because you live in the States you could get a kit at a way better price than we can over here.

Just priced out the 3.5" short arm lift kit from them. $584.99 shipped to my house. Not bad at all.

However, that kit doesn't include shocks which is better for me. I'd buy my own shocks separately.



Picked up JCR Stage 1 Rock Sliders from a buddy. Not sure why he didn't want them, but he sold them to me for $130 so i wasn't going to complain.

Going to fix the rust on my stock rockers first, then bolt these up. If anyone wants dimensions so they can copy these sliders and make their own, ask me and i'll go measure them up.

Why not just post the dimensions anyway, they look pretty simple so it shouldn't take too long...

Well took your guys advice. Bought a Rubicon Express 3.5" Super Flex lift kit.

- Full Leaf Packs
- 3.5" Coils
- Lower Control Arms
- Brake Lines
- Bilstein 5150 Shocks
- Some other shenanigans i'm forgetting.
