So i just got done doing my 6.5in lift install. I do have one question hope someone can help with. I did the rear no problem with the new leaf packs. The front is done with control arm drop brackets and fixed control arms. Only thing is now the front wheels dont seem centerd in the wheel whel. They are really far foward and if i flex it hard and tuck the front wheel and turn even the littles amount it rubs like crazy. The tires are only 31s any suggestions do should i just get the adjustable control arms? What if i take the drop brackets out you think this will move the axle back some. Will post pics.

 

Here is a pic of the wheels in the wheel whel just sitting on level ground. seems like the tire are to far forward. should i try removing the brackets and just run the control arms to the stock location.

 

dont look like a 6.5 lift?

 

Did you use what they gave you in the kit? You will also need an alignment.

 

yeah that isnt 6.5" of lift. get adjustable arms, it will fix the problem.

 

i bet its a rc lift...my 6.5"rc lift sits about the same...my buddys 3.5" RE is almost the same height

 

I'm going to be putting on a 6.5'' lift soon too. I will also being using fixed arms with drop brackets until I save up for long arms. My coils are 6.5'' RCs. Will I run into this same problem?

 

i didnt say anything about it being a kit from somewhere. i bought the leafs, springs, and control arms and brackets from a guy that said it was 6.5in lift the rear def. is the front i looks about an inch lower then the rear.

 

ive gone through 2 RC kits in 2 years...they sag pretty quickly...i would sugest going with any other brand unless you can only afford RC

 

That looks crazy low for a 6.5 inch lift. Maybe upload a pic of a side shot of the entire jeep? I had more clearance for my 31s on my old 4.5 inch lift..
