Default "Half" lift done

Yes it's the new lift kit that just came out called the "Half" lift. It consists of 2" RC AAL, alot of rust, drivetrain vibe starter kit, nothing else, and that's it. Very simple 2 hour installation and i was done.


Before:



After:




The homebrew leaf clamps aren't working out too well. I'm gonna tighten them till the springs turn blue. They keep moving around.





I needed to jack up the rear cuz i was carrying my garage in the back of my xj (over 400 lbs of crap). I got just a hair under 3" empty, 2.25" loaded (pictures are shown loaded).

I think i'm gonna stick a 1" spacer up front...or should i go 2" What ya think?
This is just a temporary setup for the next year or two until funds allow a full kit.

just grab some v8 ZJ coils for the front, it will get you about an inch of lift in the front and should level things out evenly.

Thanks. It's a good winter project when it's too cold to work on my 1:1. It's due for a rebuild/upgrade this winter. I will be slapping on some swampers soon, whenever they release them this month.
