I know a WJ going 35s at 111 Leitchs Rd at the moment.

Black on the inner guard sounds like it might work and your rig looks great mate!

Ok, looked like the bar had been trimmed back before but must be the angle of the shot. Same with the width, it doesn't look as different from the front, must be the shadow. Looks good.

At 2.5" lift mine still scrubs the back edge of the bar just a little bit.

Just bought a second hand 2004 grand cherokee last week. Have come over from a 2004 prado. So am hoping this can give me the reliability as that did, and can take me up and down the WA coast. Has 150000km on the clock. 3"1/2 lift in the rear and maybe just about a 2' lift in the front. tyres scrub on full lock so might add BB on the front to stop that. Has ARB front bar and IPF spot ties. and chasing a rear bar to mount spare tyre to as the spare tyre well is now too small for 32s. loving some of the wj's floating around on here too.

you'd be better off posting this as a new thread to get the most info.

I'm wanting to say something about the budget boost idea but I'm not allowed.

Seriously though you need to read and think long and hard before you go raising the front end to match the back. Post a new thread about where your rubbing is and size of rubber etc so we don't clutter this thread, otherwise nice looking buy. Don't forget to let us know what it is, model/engine etc. We can also give the bad news about the rear bar.

I thought this was a post your grand Cherokee thread. So I did. That's all and just writing up about what it's got and my future plans.
