"custom rockers"
I don't have any photos of what the rockers looked like before but it doesn't rally matter because they were non existent, looking through the forums I found a guy who made his own box rockers and I liked the idea so I went a head and made a set of my own. They only issue I encountered was trying to line them up and weld them on at the same time
pretty much just a steel block tube cut and then welded back together so there is a place to weld it to the frame

The Lift
So after driving my jeep for a about a year and doing the standard highschooler upgrades.... radio, subwoofers, lights, interior, etc I decided to invest in a lift kit and decided for a Rough Country 4.5" lift with Goodyear Durtrac 31" tires with Daytona steel wheels
The before photo
Spent around 5 hours attempting to pull out upper and lower control arms and ended up just torching everything out because of NY rust
Halfway through and its starting to take shape
Everything that was pulled out
It's a thing of beauty, the only hiccup was removing the leaf springs because all 4 bolts were frozen and we ended up just cutting the leaf springs in half and just using a cut off wheel to cut through the bushing and reach the the bolt to free it, overall it was good fun
