well the lift didn't go quite as expected. Rough country sent the wrong leaf springs. My parts Jeep had aal and shackles and I wanted a full set for the 4.5" lift for the better ride quality. Oh well hopefully Jason can help me out on Monday. Here's how the Jeep is sitting for now.

Your Jeep looks good. About that Liberty; I didn't even know that someone would even think of one of those dinky things as an ORV. It looks good but can you really do much with one of those?

I checked out a KJ forum and none of the pictures show any serious wheeling.

So the Guy who helped me install my rear leaves has a Ford 8.8 with disc brakes and 4.10s installed and 4.10s for my d30 for 400 bucks. He also said he'd help me install 'em. Its got me thinking real hard another that. Then I'd be ready to run 33s no issue.

Mine has seen some serious wheeling it just hasn't participated!

I have had all the fun that I’ve wanted to have with it; at least until I see another unmarked and non-posted trail!

The on of the flexed out xj? Its from signworx here on the forum. I think he's in the vendor section now. Might still be in the for sale section. But it cost 10-12 bucks shipped to my door.

a customer ofnmine just bought a lifted xj with 33s on it. But she wants smaller tires. She says it drinks gas. I'm assuming that's because it wasn't geared for the 33s. So she wants to trade for my 31s! Oh Yeah! Well see if she actually goes through with it or not. But here's hoping!

Poker Run day with HRJC.org. Bunch of rigs turned out and we got to wheel at Starr Motors. Good times. I also put on a Dakota rear brake hose. Easy mod for the most part except for the pesky little clip/tab that holds the line in at the bracket.
