My 1996 Build

Alright bought this jeep off my uncle pretty good shape for what I thought at least, engine runs fine only had a little over 2xx,xxx miles on it plus I really needed a ride. So my dad doesn't like the idea of any lifts so that's why I am only on a inch and a half lift right now :brickwall: I am ordering a three inch lift here soon because I am really tired of only a inch and a half :sleep1:.

When I first got it :thumbup1:

Next thing i went and got done is a bumper from a guy off this forum that lived in Huntington, WV but soon I am going to get one that I really like

On my way down to Huntington Attachment 349540

Next step was fixing the drivers side fender that had a big dent in it and replace the bumper.

Next my budget lift came in I like it and all except for that fact that it's not big enough!

Putting it on was a lot of fun broke all four rear shock bolts:brickwall:

And when I was putting on the rear shackles i found something that could of went bad very quickly.....one side is gone so putting this lift on actually saved me!

Nice jeep, pretty sure it's the same color as mine. For some reason I've never seen alot of those either on this forum or on the road. Not a popular color I guess!

Hey thanks! And yeah I don't think its a popular color either! But I wish it was a little darker green.

Forgot this too RC said that you don't need sway bar extensions but you do your sway bar will rub against you coil springs so i decided to get rid of mine for the time being and being used to it now I don't know if I will put it back on....but I probably will when I get a bigger lift

d_guire792 02-21-2013 07:19 PM

Three inch RC lift order with extended brake lines both front and rear and along with a adjustable track bar with new leaf spring bushings and a new set of rims so now it's just time before the brown man is at my door and i know no ones seems to like RC but I do.
