Default FINALLY!!! Lift Installed...

Well, after my lift sitting in the closet for the last 6 months I finally got around to getting it installed... Here's a few pics of the finished product.

Specs-
Rough Country 4.5" Lift
Treadwright M/T-G 31x10.5xR15
(BTW, the rear is weighted down with old suspension and rims/tires)

I've heard from a few folks that those MTRs are loud as hell. But they grip like hell too, so I guess it's a fair trade...

looks real good. I guess we spent our weekend doing the same thing. I added my peiced together 4" lift yesterday.
I have a set of used 31" BFG's waitin to go on but once they wear out my next set of tires will be the treadwright MTR's. I am half considering just sellin the BFG's to help me get the MTR's that much sooner. I want them BAAAAAD

looks great,odd request if you get a chance can you do me a favor and measure the distance between the bottom of the fender flair and the top of the tread and the from the ground to the bottom of the fender flair on the rear of the jeep.Im curious cause i put a home built set of rear spring packs on using the main jeep leaf and 4 leaves off of E-150 packs.and i think i netted ruffly 4" of lift,and i also run 31's so this would tell me what i acheived with my hill billy efforts.thanks a lot
