Well let me start this by saying it was one hell of a day today going from a lowered civic....



Too a lifted jeep talk about night and day but all together I'm happy with the results....

So I started the day by building the leaf springs with Dorman springs my stock leaf springs were tired and I was worried they would sag or be lower then the front....





All built ready to go in....easiest part of the day but man I had know idea what I was getting myself into! Needless to say there was a lot swearing hitting of hammers, firing of torches, and a little pb blaster

 

Used to have a 07 3 series , I understand , now in a lifted xj 4.5

Enjoy both!

 

nice EK, i know what its like my civic is lowered 2.5" and my jeep lifted 4.5" on 32s going between the two is weird.....its like hey im no longer scared that minivan will crush me.....and hey i didnt drag over that speed bump

 

Haha so ya you guys know how I feel thanx for checking my thread here are pics of before and and after....


Just before I did the lift washes her up in the shop...


And after so much better just needs some 31's now

 

What kit did you go with?

 

I went with the 3" rough country lift really good kit haven't put it to the test yet got everything together and broke a brake line they were really bad so I'm waiting till tomorrow to do all my lines

 

I did the exact same lift on exact same jeep haha. I took door molddings off and just last night put a new header panel and grille on so the bezel and grille are black now like yours. My wheels are black stockers with wrangler radials 235/75/15 its crazy i feel like im looking at my jeep i painted my bumper end caps gloss black though really finishes the look. Now i hope you dont get the vibes i got with it. I did a tc drop and still have some decent vibes over 50 mph

 

Ha nice man ya I can't wait to actually drive once the brake line is fixed I'm good to go

 

Man the jeep is looking slick! Driving it lifted feels awesome. I got to getg my brakelines fixed too. But overall yur jeep is lookin good. What size tires are you going to run?

 

Hey thanx man appreciate that I'm going to buy the 31's for it and have to.get some steel wheels also
