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.

 

exact tire size i put on mine also. did you get the spring pack or aal?

 

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!!!

 

Spring pack


thanks!

 

looks like a nice jeep man! good luck with the install! hello from troy, alabama!

 

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

 

good decision on the spring pack

 

Oh its well maintained, I'm an amsoil dealer as well, so its loaded with only the best fluids.

 

10-4! I did the AAL when i did the 2" lift on it originally, what a pain that was.

 

just make sure you dont overheat it, these xj's are proned to overheat, but hey man it looks clean looks great! more pics after the lift is done!!!! we love pics haha
