What's next?
 
So on the agenda is a high idle switch and some 2" wheel spacers. Maybe an 8" driving light between the two KC's... what do you guys see for my rig? Any suggestions?

jeep looks good man, im about to order the same lift this weekend, you have any problems with it so far?

cranesrule 12-14-2011 07:54 PM

No, nothing so far. It rides pretty stiff, but handles real well and tracks perfect down the highway. Been up to about 85 with zero vibes. The only thing I've had to mess with is the bolt securing the axle end of the track bar needed to be cranked down, I heard it pop a few times after some hard wheeling but cranking it that extra half turn fixed it. Overall I couldn't be happier. I've been watching the height in the rear watching for that dreaded sag and haven't seen any. Lovin it! What kind of tires are you going to run with your lift?

You seriously have done just about everything that I want to do to mine... Just I'm sitting on a budget of nearly zero... I got the same lift but not the all I got the rear springs. Can't wait to get it on over Xmas, how much trouble did ya have putting it on?

Also looking great. Are you looking to do much else to it?

Actually the lift is the only thing I didn't do myself. Wasn't totally comfortable that I wouldn't f it up so the local 4x4 shop got the job. In hindsight I should have tackled it, but kinda glad they did and it came out great.

Not really sure where else I'm going from here. I know I want to do the high idle switch and add some more lighting, maybe a third up front and then some on the roof. Been thinking about lockers but I do NOT want to sacrifice drivability or invest more in them than I paid for the Jeep....

Skids and sliders? Not sure...

How are you planning on boosting the rear? Is the front level or leaning?

The rears lower than front I used. Springs. Off a old car on front one may be sagging a little

I'm good on recovery. Got the winch, and recovery points on the front and rear bumpers. Carrying a tree strap, recovery strap, choker chain, snatch block and extra shackles. I am thinking about a high lift though.

Skids will be coming. I'm really hoping to find some jy factory skids.
