I know :X i dont have the gears for that either. I only have 3.55's (now that i have the new axles) and its a stickshift with 231k on it so i dont wanna burn out my clutch in 3 days lol. I might get a stock shackle for the back to get it down an inch and a half and keep it at 4.5 all around until i get gears done. It doesnt look THAT bad though with the 31/32's

I have a bunch of jackstands I can use so I will jack it up and move em back (or use the hi-lift.

And the SYE is either gunna be ordered tomorrow, or I am buying my buddy's 231 with an SYE already in it since he got an atlas

So I just had to get the damn thing on its wheels...so i put the axle in and all that goes with that and the long arms by myself this morning.

I have alot of work ahead of me still...alignment and long arm adjustment (maybe) is in store...i put em in there to spec, but we will see if that works or not. And my tires are terribly aligned haha. Brake stuff is still needed too. All but one line are in (damn rust...) and i need to bleed and refill and re-bleed.

Pics make the tires look small and the jeep look small but it looks rly good in person





Kinda pissed at RC right now...they didnt give me the shock bushings for the top of my shocks so they just are chilling in there. They missed alot of hardware in this kit that the instructions said they provided. I found it all for cheap but still...for $1100 it should have what I need IMO


Nothing is torqued down either btw

Thanks man. And yeah I am looking for a used set right now..if not I will just buy em new. But 1.5" Spacers alone are hard to find believe it or not...

Soi got alot of little **** done today. Nothing spectacular but all stuff that needed to be done.

1) Got other extended brakeline in ($#%@ rust)
2) Got long arms out and lengthened 1/2" and reinstalled
3) Diff fluid change and gears/housing cleaned.
4) Painted some **** on my diff
5) Painted my Lebaron Hood Vents
6) Set my toe to 1/16" toe in
7) Got my steering stabilizer on
8) Got my track bar/long arms/driveshaft/draglink/tierod all torqued down (still have to double check with the big torque wrench)
9) Got 4 new speakers in by soldering the clips that were on the stock speakers onto the new speakers. Sounds good. Thanks matt!
10) Bought wheel cylinders for the 8.25, got some tools, and some grease.

Good day all in all. 8) got dark before i got pictures :/ took a few random ones
