oh its fine im currently asking my relative for money for christmas so i can buy my h4 headlights and maybe buy my tires. il have my rims by the end of october and maybe my track bar but i may not have my lift kit on till janurary. hopefully i can still tow even tho im going to be running a 3in lift with 31s

 

My 31s just came in today. I will be mounting them tomorrow

 

go with the v5 if I didn't have to d windows when I bought mine I would have done v5s

 

im going to be buying blemished Cragar v5s for 34.99 a piece with free shipping from jegs and il buy hubcaps. here is a picture of my nooby stock flexing on logs I took last night. I was thinking of stock flexing on a lift ramp but didn't want to push it may do it tomorrow

 

finally I have a update. I have all the pieces needed to assemble the lift a I have warrior products 3in sway bar links, IRO track bar, 3in zone lift and extended Rough Country brake lines. does anyone know a good method for me to get better gas mileage on a 4.0 I6 at the moment im getting 15 MPG. I figured this out by putting $20 in my tanks tripping my odometer and I get 90 to 100 miles before my light turns on. I mainly do a lot of city travel between school work and home. also we got about 2 feet of snow and im playing in it =p

 

Glad to see your getting it together I will be installing my gears tomorrow so maybe I can play in the snow too. If you need help with that lift I can stop by and lend a hand

 

Better mpg mainly relies on either regearing if you have big tires which you don't and isn't cost effective, or replacing some sensors. Your upstream o2 sensor usually fades over time giving you poor mpg, as well as cleaning your throttle body, replacing IAC, and checking your throttle kickdown cable (I forget the name for this). Also run decent tire pressure, keep good fluids in your trans, engine, t-case, and differentials to kill off any excess friction.

 

thursday may be the big day and im not sure but hopefully dad brings home the air gun to make our job alot easier. work has closed for 2 days early and my boss said to come in 2 hours later than i usually come in to do the truck. just so il be safer. but i got 4x4. it was scary as hell. thursday school let out at noon and as we left school i fishtailed and landed in a ditch. good thing for 4wd i got out like it was nothing.

 

hey do you think a 4ft cb antenna is too tall? i may be getting a cb for christmas and i may mount the cb antenna on the rear passenger taillight.

got some new 8.25 u bolts onw

 

yesterday 12/19 was the lift update as promised the front went perfectly besides my aged rubber bump stops crumbling away in the front. was very easy. no hiccups at all.


we moved to the back we first tried to take out the front leaf spring bolt what a major PITA lift operations ground to a hault when we couldn't get that off. we took it 18 miles to Carbondale to my dad's friends muffler shop and we put it on a lift to pound it with the 14k impact hammer, breaker bar. still nothing. Sunday we are just going to cut it on and melt the bushing and try and get that nut unstuck.


the shackles weren't too bad there spinning but I didn't have a ratchet on the other end.
I have new bolts for my upper shock mounts the bottom shock mount came with no hiccup not too bad. the look on peoples faces driving the front lifted jeep in Carbondale =p

 

how do you guys make the post

all I seems to be doing is words then thumbnails

 

well we finally got the rear of the suspension put in after 10 hours of work or so. we had to put the leaf off and chop the bolts and punch out the welt nut. we then cut a little pocket on the mushroom on the unibody and put new nuts and bolts up in there. next we installed the extended rear brake line. the axle distributer block went fine but when we tried to get it removed from the hard line it shredded. so we replace a foot of hardline and merged the two hardlines with a gator gripper. so my rear still needs to be bled and everything im going to take it easy today. tomorrow il have pictures up on the thread

 

we also replace a 1ft section of hardline on the rear and gator gripped them together. does anyone by chance know stock high measurements so I can figure out how much I gained. also I don't have any ds shake. but I do have some grinding from 1-25 but my drums may be out of line. atm im going back and forth to work with 1 rear shock and leafs. is a 90 degree shackle angle correct for new springs?

 

well even tho this thread isn't very popular I would like to give you guys a update here she is I finished my lift and bled my brakes and I only start to hear loud hums after 65+ so as promised here is some updated pictures of the jeep
