how I spent my saturday.
 
I started out with this

and now I have this
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...f/100_0791.jpg

I added 4" rough country TJ coils which surprisingly gave me a true 4" on my XJ and a S10 bastard pack. I used my XJ main and bottom most leafs and added everything except the bottom overload leaf from a 96 S10 2wd ex cab 4 leaf pack. it gave me 4" over stock 5" over sag.
I also added a rough country adj track bar, teraflex 2" lift TJ disco's, and some modified JKu sahara shocks.
I still need an alignment and for the time being a t-case drop untill I can afford an SYE. I also plan on puttin my 31's back on and swapping in an 8.8 and regearing to 4.10's. hopefully that will all be done sometime this spring/summer but we will see.

here is a couple quick poser flex shots.

my jeep has been through a couple different stages over the last 3 years, stock, then 2" BB, then 31's w/ BB, then 30;s on BB, added olympic frt bumper, then all back to stock to try and sell it last summer and now after not being able to sell it and having to pull the trans last month to fix a broken $2.50 clutch fork clip I decided to mod it afterall. there are a bunch of pics heres the link to my PB album. the most recent pics start on pg 2.

also notice from pic 1 to pic 2 there is also the addition of rock rails
they are JCR stage 1's I got for a song off craigslist. so far I love em. cant wait to test em out at rausch creek real soon.
at the same time of adding them i also installed my brown dog poly motor mounts. they are also working out awesome

Nice looking jeep are those 225's on it right now?

MPETE Feb 1, 2009 05:37 PM

in the first pic yes.
in the rest of the pics NO, they are actually 30x9.50's but yes they do look awfully small now. I have a set of 31's in the shed at my moms that will be goin back on very soon.

yea considering how stiff the coils feel and how little pressure it took with a floor jack to lift the front off the floor I was really concerned it wouldnt flex well. but after disco'ing, I was pleasantly surprised how well it flexed for the poser pics.
thanks for the comments everyone

Looks good,you said you had a 2" BB on it and then took it off. Do you still have it? If you do do you want to sell it?

MPETE Feb 1, 2009 08:35 PM

my 2" BB consisted of a 1.75" spacer and 1 of the leafs I am using in my current bastard pack. so all I have left is the 1.75" spacers which are already spoken for going on a friends TJ. sorry.
