New Lift

[UNCC_99XJ]

Got the RE 3.5" Super Ride installed this weekend...and I think it turned out very good.

Next on the list is to install the SYE next weekend (got some wicked vibes right now), and fix the shock bushings that exploded/cracked when I put the shocks on.

Looks great , very clean. I wish my rig looked that clean.

 

[Renegade]

Nice lift dude, you got a clean rig like mine... lol.

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Thanks! It actually hasn't been cleaned in several weeks....but I try to take pretty good care of it.

 

[PacificEd]

Very nice! It looks good with 31" tires.

What SYE are you going to use for the 242 case? Tom Woods or RE?

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

RE....I already have it, and the front driveshaft to use for it as well....just didn't have a saw that could cut the shaft this weekend, so i'm going to get a friend of mine to help me this coming weekend to finish it up.

It does look nice, welcome to the family.

shamless self promotion

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Thanks! I've been watching your progress on your Jeep and I really like it.

Also have to say in the little bit that i've drove it with this lift on, it rides a hell of a lot better than the 3" lift I had.

Jeep looks good Tim. now will you wheel it? JK

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Yes Chris...once the SYE is on and I can get some time away from both jobs.

Lookin at doin a little test run over by the power lines next week if all goes as planned.

How does it feel not to have blocks?

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Wonderful.....no more axle wrap, and to have some springs that aren't parallel to the ground is amazing.

Only took 2700 posts for a real lift?!

shhhhh!

 

[lancey3]

shhhhh!

Haha. I'm surprised your leaves didn't explode in all that time.

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

You and me both....and believe me, when I took them off they were damn near flat.

 

[PacificEd]

What brand of shocks did you use with the Re 3.5" kit?

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Skyjacker Nitro's. Good ridin shock IMO...but the bushing's aren't worth crap. Already gotta replace both of them on the left front shock (the first one exploded the minute I started to tighten it, and the bottom one broke in half on the test drive). Maybe I just got a couple of bad bushings....but compared to other poly bushings i've worked with, these felt a bit more on the cheap side.

 

[WheelinJR]

Nice, now you need bumpers and rock rails to finish it off!

 

[rocknxj]

Nice looking XJ. I've always liked that color. You'll find your 3.5" lift and 31" BFGs is extremely capable off road. I took on the Rubicon Trail last weekend and earned a ton of respect for my XJ with the same lift and tires.

Get some rock rails and skids if you go off road. I beat the hell out of mine.
