Default Lift on!

Today i finished getting the suspension parts onto my 88. Kinda glad ive peiced together the lift rather then buying a kit... turing out to be cheaper, and when i have a goal to build this jeep with to get it on the trail. It helps ALOT to find used but not abused parts!

So with out further a-do



BEFORE:





AFTER:





Before i started in the rear i measured 18.5in from the bottom of the fender flare to the center of the wheel. I now measure 22.5in from mid wheel to bottom of flare. All in all about 4in!

I used Bastard pack leafs and shackles in the rear and i think (could be wrong) RE front coils with procomp spacer.

Almost to the trails! other then misc things ima need a Cataltyic converter, muffler, somg register, and tires! and im on the trails!

Not sure yet. I was thinking of putting my dakota back on stock tires and taking the Maxxis Bighorns off of it and put them on the jeep.... But then i dont think i could drive my truck on stock tire again... LOL Im thinking a M/t ive liked the Maxxis so i might run them on the jeep too....
