They look like my Rough Country 1.5" to me...a 3" lift shackle would have to be crazy long!

As for trails here, just turn around and you can see them. 30min from my area there a town called Sooke (pronounced- SOOK) that area is great and it connects to areas called cowichan lake and shawnigan lake too then anywhere up the of the island. There are more logging roads on the island than paved to give you a good idea. Most of the west coast is un developled but quickly beeing eaten up by developers. Booooo! Covered in logging roads leading to some can opening trails and lots of dried up river beds to play in. I personaly am coverted from the Yota seen to the jeeps but I have seen the light! google earth will show you most of it.

mine have one extra hole (i guess no them exactly then huh?) I will snap a pic for you if you really want......Geeze man were not talking about weiner size here. All I know is that its three inches higher than it was before and that was before I threw on the 31's.

no but we are talking suspension geometry. 3" shackle lift is not very common and it makes me feel alot safer that you are to far north to see you on the road around the area Ill be living.

No I just wanna see it on the Jeep cause I bet it looks frickin crazay

Not that crazy, sure looked funny though looking at the stock shackle and seeing these. I don't really like them though. Gives a real rough ride and I think I would rather get some re arched ones or blocks or even a add-a-leaf

If you're gonna change it, a replacement leaf pack (be it new or bastard pack style) and proper shackle angles are the only way to go.

4inch lift (for now...) 33s.

Portland, OR

I like your lift and tire combo. do the tires rub much o nthe street?

 

[GreenbeltXJ]

if those are the same ones i have and they look like it, then the upper hole is 1.5" and the second 2"

Oh alright, your rig looks good but I would strongly suggest getting rock rails before you take it to evans or where ever else.
And can we get rid of this spammer winch salesman? :rattle:

Few shots -still under construction-

Here are some shots of how the jeep looked before paint and after some front end fixing. Only had a 3" lift on there witch didnt do any good

And now I got my lift set up somewhere between 8" to 9" high and 35's

Still a lot more needs to be done, A lot of plans, will keep updates
