Never seen a lift like this!

Any clues as to what kind of lift I'm dealing with here? Very stout setup that relocates uppers higher and lowers back and down, with an integrated upper axle truss. I thought I had seen em all till now. And while we are at it, anyone recognize this jeep? I know it came out of Utah a little while ago, and I got it out of Idaho a week ago. Has D44 rear, huge lift, gears, locked front and back, etc. Just curious if anyone knows this thing

Never seen anything like that but it looks to me like it may scrape something up in the engine bay, how much flex you got? It's definitely an attention grabber

I am 100% Positive that that is an OLD Skyjacker Rock Ready Kit probably a 8"

Its incredibly thick and solid, and I was definitely thinking Skyjacker. This thing flexes like I have never even seen before, absolutely incredible. Surprisingly enough there is no contact issues anywhere, this thing looks a little weird but really works well, and easily clears 35's with the cut fenders. It also has an SYE, and anti-wrap bars on the rear, and shock re-locators all the way around with eyes on all ends of shocks. Whoever did this built it nicely years ago.

Def older Skyjacker and I'd weld on the truss. Those u bolt can stretch.

Skyjacker is actually pretty good IMO

Strange. I think the bumper looks horrible. Looks like something that belongs on a farm truck to push cows around.

I'm not sure what Turkey **** dog tit is but I think I agree.

Certainly not a fan of bolt on trusses like that. Especially using the OEM passenger side upper as a mounting point while adding more leverage. Just seems like asking for a problem.
