Old Man Emu lift finally done

[88XjLaredo]

Very happy with the lift so far. I hope that in time the back will settle more and give a more level appearance. Slight vibes at this point and the usual clunk from the driveshaft when letting off the gas. Already have 4* shims installed so hopefully a t-case drop will eliminate the remaining problems until I get an SYE on.

Looks good. If I did it all over again I would go OME.

Looks good man, which kit specifically did you use?

looks pretty level to me.

looks quite nice, as a matter of fact!

remember, the rear wheelwell openings on even a stock cherokee are larger than the front. its kind of decieving.

I have the 3" OME lift from DPG Offroad. 3" leaves and 2" coils with the 1" spacer. Maybe if i put the coil isolators back in the front it will give it slightly more lift.

Damn, I forgot to black out the license plate. None of you weirdo's better come looking for me haha.

The Isolators would probably level it out a little better for sure.

As far as your driveshaft clunking you might pull the rear DS and grease up the splines real good. That is what fixed my clunk back before I went SYE.

Dirk's great eh? I plan on getting my lift from him when I get $. I can't decide between the OME 3" or the RE 4" hybrid he offers. Besides the vibes, how does it ride on the highway?

I love my OME 3" as well, rides great. HD DAKAR rears with TeraFlex 1.5 shacks, OME MD fronts with ACOS, AA SYE and TW shaft, Currie Adj. trac bar and LCA's.

After 1 year, no measurable sag.

A+ for the Misfits and Thrice stickers. The others... not so much

But seriously, it looks good! I have the clunk in decel too, so far no problems but I need to address it. Any future plans?

This guy is cool.

A++ for the Opeth, and Dimmu Borgir which by the way their new CD rocks!

Yes yes, I love all things rockin or heavy. As for the highway ride, I would have to say it rides just a little better than stock. Much better than the 3.5" RE kit that I ran on my 88'. Very happy with the kit thus far. Well worth the money if you want a decent DD and good performance off-road. I'll be on the trail this weekend and I have no doubts that it will perform awesome.

the only thing i would change is the front bumper and get rid of the bug, shield other than that it looks good

You must be close to 1000hp ehh?
