Default Time for some air

I had to start some where so I placed an order and 6 days later the Brown Truck stopped by while I was at a buddies house and left a box for me. I opened it when I got home and look what I got.



So today is the official end of my stock ZJ and the Official Start of my weekend crawling toy. It's only a BB lift but we all started some where and this is all I could do before an event I have to be at in Aug. So BB lift install today, more pics to follow, and a real lift some time in the future.

yup, but it will be worth it not to stock any more, plus I only have every other weekend off. So I do the work when I have the time.

Be sure to set the front toe after the installation of the lift and loosen the control arm bolts while doing the install and then retighten them with the full weight of the Jeep on the tires. That will save your bushings.

Thanks for the reminder "Bustedback", it didn't even dawn on me to check that. But as myself and the rest of us should know, anytime you change something in the steering or the suspension you should always check alignment. Little things can add up and before you know it your dealing with uneven tire wear and even "DW", I'll get that checked out in the morning.
