Hey guys I'm new to this forum as well as jeeping so this is my 1996 ZJ i bought it about a year ago completely stock

its a 1996 Grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2l AWD







well first thing i did was a walmart roof rack with my spare tire...lol also some BFG 31x10.50's




First time mudding



Then the bull bar







AND then.........new baja 130watt 7" lights






Finally the Lift kit.. i went with Rough Country 4" because every time I called and asked about advice or suggestions their customer service was extremely great. They also had the most decent price for the lift kit.

Rear after install



Front after install




All around shots






I noticed that the grey plastic cladding scratches easy so I rhino lined it, the bull bar, also the bumpers and grille



My first jeep ride. Sooo much fun went to woolys off road in lynnville,tn


Little articulation ramp action



Well being addicted to jeeps now I just had to go and buy bigger tires and new rims. I got d window 15x9 wheels wrapped in bfg 33x12.50r15.....and they didn't fit to well so! Get the body saw out!



After cutting 3" of fender and triming the front bumper also about 30minuted of sledging my inner wheel well they fit fully flexed out with no rubbing

This is how she sits today waiting for that next challenge!

 

Looking good man!

 

That's a good looking zj.

 

Good job so far man. That bull bar looks a lot better after you painted it.

 

Awesome ZJ, hoping to have mine look like that one day.

 

Hope you plan on getting a real tow strap, the ones with hooks are quiet dangerous. Good looking ZJ though.

 

Thanks guys hopefully here soon she'll have new bumpers sliders and a winch.


yeah after getting a hard time from my other jeep friends I bought a new strap with the loops instead

 

Nice

 

Great looking lift

 

I've got some new updated pictures

 

Here is me having to tow a wj through mud because he broke both front cv axles.

 

And then here I am almost getting stuck on a fallen tree under this muck LOL

 

Looks great! How does it ride with the lift? Any problems with death wobble or bushings wearing out quickly?

 

The lift is a little stiff but it is a lift kit so that's expected, other then that it rides good. I have a little body roll around turns but that's because I'm not running a rear sway bar.

As for deathwobble, I had to get a kor track bar and keep my tires at 28psi and always keep them rotated and balance. Here recently I've been getting a shimmy between 40-55, its in my tie rod ends, or my drag link

 

Did you have to do an SYE with your 4" RC lift?
