I am actually digging the chrome trim on the fender flares. I am not a huge fan of chrome and it would look stupid on my cherokee because there isnt any existing chrome but I think it looks cool.

If you look at his pictures it looks like he's running short arms. 6" lift springs with a massive spacer up top. Some sort of crazy drag link though. I'd love to see some more pictures though. Stock axles.

Looks like some sort of drop bracket control arms, at least 2" blocks in the rear, stock Dana 30/44, it almost looks like he welded a bracket off the top kuckle to make the draglink flat, but not quite sure.

From his albums...

you can see some big spacers if you look carefully.


OP: I'm interested in the rear suspension as well... (x5 or whatever number its at)

First I ask,

What is your planned use?

If it's mud than yes it looks great if it's trail running and crawling than it needs to be lowered about 8 inches..

agreed...some of the trails ive been on ive been glad ive only got 2 inches of lift..that much lift with that narrow of tire, its asking to be flopped over on its side on even a mild off camber spot in the trail

dont get me wrong, i think it looks pretty good...but its not something id do
