Heres my 3" its a Zone tho. I was posting pic its level but there is an 8.8 rear axle in the rear. without the weight in it it sets high in the rear . Lift has been on a month I had my kids over christmas and it was high in the back still with all there bags/gear.

 

congrats. we all know how you feel when ur a week away from getting the lift put on.

i'm 4.25 frnt and 4.5 back. i like this slightly raked look. almost unoticable.

I have an IRO and RC mixed lift with IRO adj uprs and non adj lwrs, IRO 3/4 spacer with my stock spacer. IRO 3" coils and RC 3" leafs with RC 1.5" shackles and RC Base shocks. RC t/b RC HD stabilizer and JKS quicker Discos.

I love it. Its alittle stiff still. Installed in november and only put about 150 miles or so on it. But its a Jeep not a caddy. Besides I kinda like the ride.

I'm runnin 33x12.5 Duratracs with 15x10 American racing AR-23s 3.74 bs all with trimmed fenders. I get poeple pointing and commenting all the time.

Took me 18mos to get all the **** i needed to complete it. All new leaf and shock bolts too.

Again; congrats. and post pics.

 

hey I just finished putting in the back springs but I broke the upper shock mount bolts in the rear and the lower shock mount on the ds rear. any ideas on how to fix this. im new to lifts. (will be posting pics)

 

that sucks.
drill out the top ones and then buy some replacement nuts and bolts.
same for the lower one too.

Search its all in here. will only take a minute. It will tell you step by step.

 

I did search, I was loooking for more of way to make sure it doesn't happen again. I found some brackets at rustys we are going to weld on so the bolt doesn't go into the body.

 

there ya go. I know its a pita.

 

 

 

 

before lift

 

after lift

 

still have to weld new brackets to put rear shocks in, just waiting for them to come in the mail.

 

Can anyone tell me the best way to relocate the rear shocks so that they have good ground clearance yet good performance?

 

cut off the axle mounts. weld on new mounts however many inches higher up

 

Does it matter if i turn the position the bolt goes through? will that hurt the shocks during flex?
