I like it. Was it precut or did you cut to fit?

I had to cut it. It was 7x70 inches. I used my squeegee as a guide and just cut it straight across.

Did a coolant flush what a pain in the A that was. Between draining then filling with the flush and water then draining again then filling with water then draining and filling with coolant it took forever. I replaced the tstat while I was there anyway. Took about 1.5 gallons to refill. I would recommend 1 gallon of straight anti freeze then add distilled water to fill. I started with a 50/50 and ended up a little lean because I wasn't thinking about all the water that didn't drain out. O well still got me to -30 to 260 ish degrees. I'm sure there were some tips and tricks but there are so many personal techniques on the forums it hard to keep track.

I just ordered 3" zone leaf springs just wondering if anyone thinks it would be beneficial to add my bds add a leaf to the zone leaf pack or would that be overkill?

I ordered thru rockridge4wd for $316 free shipping. Top notch customer service. They had the best deal I could find especially being they include the u bolts and bushings. I ordered my bds lift from them also.

That's pretty good. I think my old man emu leafs where about that after I bought bushings.

Love the white jeeps. Just got my brother a white 99 limited and my other jeep is a white 97 base.


Looking forward to your build. Here is a pic of my 97

Thanks, that's my budget build, I've got less than 2k into it lol

I got them on eBay, about $40 shipped to my door.

I'm in the process of getting black front bumper end caps to match the rear and break up all the white.

Started the lift last night, went smoother than expected till the threads for the tierod end on my new steering stabilizer were all messed up. fixed the threads today and centered my axle with the jks trackbar. That thing is beefy! The springs came out and went in with very little persuasion. Overall pretty impressed with the bds kit and instructions.
