i did some work on the jeep today nothing big just trimmed the fenders a little to fit the new tires and i fixed some rust spots in the rear
ready to cut!!



i left the lip just for looks


now to the rust spots i just cleaned them up to paint ..im not going to fix the parts that have rusted out just stopping it from rusting more as i plan to put the rear flares back on



i still need to do the clear coat and buff it

when you first got it, what did it all have on it for the 3'' lift?
shackles and spacers up front? how did it ride?
im thinking about doing that temporarily since its cheap, until i have money for a real lift, because it looks good, and is under 500$ for thsoe rims and spacers and shackles.

i would just save up, but im a sophomore in highschool. full lift will come later when i have a decent paying job.
and under 500$ for 3'' lift, window d rims is alot better than saving up 800$ and buying a good lift, but having 0$ for wheels and rolling around on 4.5'' and 30s. in my opinion

Blocks are just what they sound like there just blocks of metal that go in between your leafs and axle. shackles are the better option ... its your Jeep do what you want it just sucks putting $200 into pucks and shackles when your still going to pay for a full lift later
