First off, a Super Big Thank You to Kenny... for his time, lift, and patience....

what was supposed to be a "bolt on" lift turned out to be a "fab to fit" lift :annoyed:

but, we got it done......







to this point was really smooth....it was the arms that were supposed to be for a 4WD that turned out to be for a 2WD that the real fun began....



the extended beam with the factory beam end added to it.....





the left over parts....notice the hacked up factory radius arm...



what she looks like now...







Kennys YJ with Dynatrac ProRock 60's and 40" tires...





look at the massive "C's" on that thing...



and the next one to get 60's...



now to take her to get her new pitman arm put on and aligned...as well as the new shocks...

again a Big Thanx to Kenny.....

l8r, John

well, i went everywhere with my coil spacers all the other guys were goin....

just really wanted more articulation...not much lift....is only 3" coils, drop brackets, and my spacers ( and the spacers just really make up for my winch/bumper combo )

can't wait to try it out....hopefully this weekend....

l8r, John

Its about time you get it on:thefinger:I remember when mine started looking like that...It was after my body lift, 2 days later I had the 6" lift on...Keeps getting higher and higher...Looks like your front axle needs to go further forward though, and you can finally get those 5 star rims on now...

It looks like the front wheel is setting back in the wheel well a little? Looks good though.

hard to tell in the pic, but the tires are ever so slightly turned to the right to go up the side of my house...
