like so?

Holy cow bud. I've got a rc 3 inch lift and the front of my truck doesn't have any clearance like that? What have you done to make the front sit higher?

EMAXX620

back end is sagging a bit, not to much tho.

i got 3" RC and 1.75" daystar spacers and shackles. Id love me some 33's but they rub to much when turning. would just need to trim some plastic but i dont have the funds for some 33's right now.

this is what mine looked like when me and my buddy swapped tires.



freaking love how they looked. maybe when i get me some money

z.rose188

So you added some coil spacers to the front which gave you about 4 and 3/4s of a lift and shackles which over all is a rc 4.5 inch lift? How much did it all cost you to buy the lower controls arms and brakes lines instead of the whole 4.5 inch lift kit? Bud i like your jeep a whole lot. It's one sick looking machine. I give you thumbs up. I just might try and get mine looking some what like your but not identical

When i bought the jeep, it looked pretty crappy but it had the lift on it. But yes, its basically a 4.5" lift. Id like to get rid of the spacers and get some new coils but it doesnt bother me that much. Control arms, i got upper and lower from Ironmax4x4 (AWESOME guy!) http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/XJ_Inventory.html If you want to save a few bucks, tell him your lift height and he will make proper length fixed arms for you. Also have a trackbar and motor mounts from him. As for the brake lines, sadly they are stock right now. I was really looking into the ones they have at quadratec and plan to get them when its not freezing outside. I took it to the dunes and accidently left the ground once with it and they still work the same as before. Also got rid of the rear swaybar and flexed it out pretty far without probs.

Thanks for the thumbs up i put a lot of work into it to make it look pretty.


v--- knocked flare off lol

i like the before better then the after but nice rig dude looks good cant wait till i get mine done

Are you using the original rc 3 inch shocks or did you get longer ones?

EMAXX620

i have 3 of the RC shocks, and one cheap crappy gabriel one made for stock height. the gabriel one on there is becasue the rubber grommet in the engine bay tore and i went to replace it, and ended up snapping the stud on my rc shock so i just got what was cheapest. I plan to get some Doetsch Tech shock this summer also. Stupid cold makes me not wanna do anything.

@bigjim350

No offense but your rig looks better than before compared to its present look...
Why'd you decided to change its color?

z.rose188

The only thing that bothers me is that the guy who had it before me did a crappy detailing job so i've got scratches all over and plus a dent in the front fender. Plus everyone says my jeep looks alittle pink but i'm going to buff it soon so maybe it will work.

EMAXX620

ive been told my jeep is pink and purple haha. i dont see where they came up with it though. The PO of mine didnt keep it in to good of shape. there were a few missing or broken interior panels, the carpet where the drivers feet is was cut and there was a door mat tarred down by the pedals, the hood was spraybombed and very badly, had to sand it down and get it repainted (looks awesome now). The was a small chunk of the area above the grill taken out like someone went to climb up and pushed down to hard. Bondo'd that and the guy who did my hood hit that area for me also. The back carpet was also cut in the weirdest way. One of the lights were filled with water. part of the exhaust was done VERY badly and i had to redo that part. I still have a bit to do to it, like attempt to fix the terrible t-case drop. There is a piece of angle iron welded to it for some odd reason and it is WAY to long. I am afraid to tackle that one though.

Im pretty happy with how it looks now though
