Thx for the kind words. A lot of work went into this and I truely believe who ever buys will be more then pleased with it.

I've spent the past 2.5 years building this jeep, dubbed "Goldmember" It's set up for low center of gravity and good handling characteristics (on and offroad). Jeep is smooth and tight at all speeds, runs nicely at 65-70 mph down the highway and crawls extremely well. There is approx 2K miles on...

I'm running them and have several thousand miles on them. Honestly they run the same as the Dana, Precision and Superior gears i've had, I can't hear them. Check 4wdfactory.com, they had the best prices when I ordered them a while back.

I'm running 37's w/5.38's with a 4.0/AX15 on a 44/60 combo. Great all around performance on/off road. I can run 70 all day long and it's crawls extremely well.

I've been running them for a couple thousand miles (D44 and D60 in 5.38's). Easy to set up and are running as quite as the superior's and alloy usa's that i've had. Get a good gear set up shop and run them.

My rear is just cut/folded and left a small lip on the edge. I've seen the TnT rig and it's amazing work. I would of liked to have done the same but I was exhausted after building it for 2 years and wanted to hit the trail. I made sure the tire was centered when fully compressed when I installed...

My idea of a LCG XJ. 3.5" lift on 37's w/minor trimming and a roof line of 6'2". (Front will be lowered to 3" when I get off my butt and pull the coil spacers.)

Not many places carry the 33RA's, they were discontinued last year then reintroduced over the past few months. The "load" spring is actually flat on the 33RA's. I was suprised when I got the 35RA's in the other day and they were actually curved down slightly. I'll post a pic of the leafs when I...

The CS033RA's are 5 leaf plus the overload (5+1). Given the overload is rather small and flat, it aids in preventing axle wrap.

Direct from OME/ARB site, more of an idea of the lift per leaf Rear Light Load Spring 2.0" 2 CS034RB Rear Medium Load Spring 2..25" 2 CS034RA Rear Medium Load Spring 2..75" 2 CS033RB Rear Medium Load Spring 3.5" 2 CS033RA Heavy Constant Load Spring 2.0" 2 CS035RA

I ordered the 2" HD's (CS035RA's), but i'll probably remove the helper spring. I ordered 3.5's from 4x4rockshop (they only charged me cost on shiping from ARB in WA) and there was nearly no mark up on the leafs. I ordered the bushings elsewhere, can't remember where. IIRC the bushings are...

Non military wrapped. As far as the height, they're advertised between 3-3.5". I believe it was OME's site that they were listed as 3.5", so I listed them as 3.5". As far as the price. New I paid 125 each (250) plus another 60 for shipping (check shipping, most companies want $80-120.) then...
