Zone 3" with leaf packs. Wish me luck!

 

Got done about an hour ago. Took 7.5 hours but all together it went really well. I did however end up stripping the passenger side spring retainer bolt but luckily I had a 3/8-16 tap on hand. Every other bolt came out pretty smooth. I am however one of the unlucky ones that needs a new track bar.

I must say, if your jeep has been in pretty much dry climates like california or arizona you should be ok without breaking any bolts, especially the rear upper shock bolts. Also I used PB Blast on every bolt spraying them down every other day for a week but every day would be best

 

Still sitting on 235/75 until I can get some 31x10.50 Duratracs

 

Those bumper caps need some painting!

I see next weekends project!

It's starting to look like a jeep now.

 

Oh yeah ive been planning on painting all the trim here pretty soon, I might bed line them though cuz I did the bumper about a year an a half ago.

It's def strange feeling now with the lift cuz I'm so used to driving on dead suspension.

 

Paint the caps with krylons "fusion" series as its intended for plastic....and ditch the side moldings...just my $0.02.

Good job on the lift though, wish mine had been a one day task...lol

 

You give me hope to install my RE 3.5'' Super Ride kit.

 

Yeah you should have no problem. It took 7 hours because I've never done a lift before but that's still pretty good time. Can't stress enough on the PB Blast though, it'll make things much easier.

 

Being in CA probably made it easier too. Smaller chance of rust than a lot of other places!

 

Oh yeah I actually had a pretty easy time especially with the aid of a 28" breaker bar hahaha

 

It looks good man! What are your future/dream mods?

 

Thanks man! I was thinking the 4wd swap with the awd transfer case. Hopefully soon I'll get the Spartan locker for the rear, jcr front bumper, and detours rear tire carrier.

 

Good choice on the front bumper.. I love my JCR. I got clipped by a chevy awhile back.. smashed his hood up and all it did to mine was crack a blinker haha. I really like there stuff. Lighter than alot of them out there but still strong.

 

I might not waste my time painting the caps if I'm getting a new bumper, dunno yet :/

 

Hahaha nice!! I might end up going to Dirt Bound only cuz I live about 20 minutes from them so I wouldn't have to pay for shipping. Just depends on how much overtime I get in the next few months
