okay so my dad and i were out front looking at my jeep and i said it would look good and be safer with a 3 inch lift . he replied " maybe 1" 1/2 to 2" " then i said im going to need new spings and shocks a 3" with new leaves would be cheaper than stock leaves and a 2" lift. he kind of changed topic by saying i have to stay away fro the crap thats made in china. (he grew up in the 60's cant blame him for saying that) are rc lift compentents made in china? i looked on their website and drew a blank....

i'm not completely sure. don't wanna lie to you. but there's that good chance that a part of anything that you buy nowadays is made in china.
hey, but look, you've made a good progress. your dad didn't start his words with "heck no."

WOOOHOOOOO!!!! you know this means you need something better then those little street tires right?? Maybe those 35's or 37's super swampers we saw at the JY??

all joking aside, good job convincing him, keep up the slight pressure and show him that the investment was a smart one. And impress him with your wheeling skills and where you can go! you should be able to leave me in the dust lol

Good to hear that this may be working out for you! Once the 'rents are convinced, you'll need to start a build page.
