Just sayin hi!
Hey everyone, just stumbled across the forum while searching for some lift tech help. I am in the middle of installing a 4.5 inch rusty's kit in my 2K XJ. And as usual in my garage, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. LOL

welcome to CF. i installed the same lift in my garage and didn't run into any major issues. 1/2" tools and torx bits are a must. oh and a couple cans of pb blaster, good luck and post pics when your done

This is right after I got the rear springs in. those 30x9.50's are coming off. I'm going 32x11.50's very shortly.

HDTony, I have had a Rusty's 4.5 inch lift kit on my XJ for 4 years. I installed it myself in my garage. Any questions you have, Bro. Fire away. Welcome to CF!!!

its a really clean truck, I was lucky enough to stumble across this one from a friend who was looking for a new truck. It's a 2K Sport with only 60,000 on the clock
I got some better pictures on my system at home I'll link up later

dang 60,xxx thats good! take good care of it and it will last you a while! just make sure you never overheat that thing too much cause on 2000 and 2001 they changed the heads and i think they are weaker and proned to cracking if overheated
