Different Lift and tire setups I had
Different setups I had along the way
1st was a RC 4.5" AAL kit
I went from stock tires to 33's, then 31's
2nd lift was a Rusty's/RC 6.5" lift with 33-12.50's

So to fix It I ordered my 3rd lift, a 6.5" LA lift from Ironrockoffroad.com
They have an awesome tracbar setup
Flexing with new lift

What I'm at now, minus the front bumper because it has terrible approach as you can tell from it being bent. And I upgraded my wheels to outlaw 2's with more backspacing. Let me know what you think

Looks great Steve. We love pics and yours are real good ones. I like the documenting of your past lifts and was not surprized to hear about a Rusty's failure in a parking lot.

I wasn't to impressed with the tracbar, the jamnut never held tight. and there was alot of play in it when it was new.
The wheels I payed 100 bucks from a friend and im not sure of the backspacing, but he had the same tires and there was noticably more backspacing on his cherokee.
Pics of the wheels mounted and a before and after of the front bumper which I called the snow plow.
I was 16 when i bought the Jeep and it was bone stock. Im now 18, came along way in 2 years.

Thanks for the compliments.
No they told me I was past the deadline when I called for the warranty.

That's not the first time I've heard of someone breaking a rusty's track bar. There's a post on USJeeps where a guys broke when we he was going through a turn and he totaled his jeep. Pretty nasty stuff and the turn really wasn't that bad. I will say rusty's has great products and I run some of there stuff like coil springs, shocks, and Fixed LCA. But there adjustable hiem joints in the longarm kit and track bar are less than to be desired in my opinion.

Yes I know they have a lifetime warranty and it was a few months ago, they were telling me that because they didn't wan't to replace it I think. I just left it go because I got a better setup now from www.ironrockoffroad.com, 1.25" solid bar with a poly bushing at each end so theres no limit on flex. And a new 1/4 plate frame mount, adjustable of course.
I'm thinking about getting there highsteer kit, can I have some opinions on there kit please? Heres the link.
