Nice its the same color as mine, except for yours has the color matched stuff. Did you absolutely need the H&T?

Good looking Jeep BTW! I've got the Hella 500's too!

Thanks! Yeah I did wind up needing the H&T. I ran a 3" BB with a 1" tcase drop for a year prior to this lift. Ran into driveline issues and decided to re-do the whole damn thing, only do it the proper way this time. Nasty vibes with this lift and just a tcase drop, plus I was already planning on doing a SYE anyways, so it was in the budget. And since I have a 242, the H&T was about my only affordable option.

Remember, RE lifts net higher than advertised. My 3.5" with full packs came out to somewhere between 4-4.5". I also need to get around to putting on those spacers I have to level it out. The packs didn't really settle much at all compared to the springs, and depending on what mood the Jeep is in I guess, some days it sits lower in the front.

And yeah I love the Hella's....now that i've got a roof rack, I see a couple more in the very near future

Couple more from the same rock, only these are from two weeks ago:

also if anyone has a 2in OME lift and 31's post up i'm thinking of going low cog too! That way i can get an RC crawler and New tires for the Heep!

I remember the pictures from when you first brought that thing home and how clean it was!

 

[rocknxj]

I've got over a hundred shots of my XJ with the 3.5" and 31's on my CarDomain site. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2666735

Here is a sample.

Oh, those pics remind me. I've got a JCR Offroad Stage IV bumper purchased and on the way.

Here's some inspiration from the Rubicon Trail back in July.

Haha, its got some scratches on it now, and quite a bit of mud that doesnt seem to want to wash off...also dented in the rain gutter above the rear passenger side door...it was muddy and i was on a slope, slid sideways into a tree. Ya, eventually i will post up a build thread and combine all my steps from stock to my goal.

The lift on my wife's jeep is cobbled together from a bunch of spare parts, but it's probably about what the RE 3.5" system nets.

This is my friends rig that i built. RE super flex 3.5" full leafs on 31"x11.5" LTB's Flexes great rubs a bit. Lower control arms are weak.

And the reason we are disappointed with the arms

Going over that hill caused 3 of the 4 links to bend.... ouch. It also claimed 1 shock. RE did say they would sell him new arms at cost.

 

[besthaticouldo]

wow...those control arms are toast!

unbelievable!
