I picked up these teraflex revolver shackles from a guy today who wanted $80 and i traded him a set of dumbells and $50 dollars and got them!They have a few scratches but have never been mounted!! Next i have to get 4.5in coils, shocks, new trackbar, adjustable upper and lower control arms, and brakelines. Hopefully ill have enough saved up to get them within a few months and have the jeep sitting 1.5in higher

Well i took off all the fenders off the jeep, along with the plastic inside the fenders to get ready to trim the fenders. The tires stick out a considerate amount, i think they look great

Well see when I got my jeep it had some little 235s on it and they were dry rotted so I went to a local tire shop in Canton nc and bought a set of those courgias and they had like 25% tread on them but they were $125 for all 4 and I needed front end alignment from the lift so the wore pretty bad and I didn't get new tires till the front had the steel wires showing but I never got stuck with them on the jeep and I've got some kumho ATs right now and I'm saving for a set of courgias right my lift should be at my house today and ill be sitting at 5" so its gonna look funny with 30s on it until I get the new tires
