finally got my jeep lifted

[nemesis]

thanks to outlaw40 and mike of devo 2ing. yeah i know the jeep is dirty but it's worthless to wash for pictures specially at this crappy weather. it's a 4.5" lift but feel like a 6" lift. when the springs settle it should drop a bit. tires are 31 x 10.5 x 15. i think the tires are too small for lift. plan to install 33 x 12.5 x 15 in the spring. have someone local that will help out, his jeep is in the picture. he's running the same tires that i plan to install also he have the same lift height as me.

1. Your tires dont look too bad for now, but I'm glad you're upping them lol.
2. Tell your friend he has too many stickers.
3. Also tell him that the "eyelids" actually look quite awesome on that car lol
4. Nice Job

 

[Outlaw]

Thanks again man, we're very happy with the way the truck turned out, and are glad you are too. Those 31's will settle in just fine, give the springs a month or so. Thanks for your business, let us know if you need anything in the future

Looks Good! Seeing this makes it harder for me not to lift my WJ.

 

[SirMarco]

yeah bigger tires will come later, like frank said the springs have to settle and will not look that bad. actually it looks pretty good as of right now. it's only been 3 days since the installed. feel good being high lol. have couple idiot suv drivers wanted to size me up. the worst part is there's always some douche will hit their brake the last minute when im already stopping at the light. i can't wait to get my new rear bumper, it will be way better than what i have now.

Rusty's 4.5 suspension lift w/31" dick cepec's

nice

i bought the complete package so the tires and wheels came with. i did picked up a 4x4 garage magazine awhile back and was reading on the different rear end the xj came with. looks like the front is a dana 30 and rear is a dana 35. in the article it said dana 35 is weak and prone to break even with 31" tires (not sure if they talking about off road) i think for now im going to stick with the 31" until i either find a chrysler 8.25 or dana 44 and do the swap then i'll do the 33"

 

[clint282cc]

You can find 8.25s anywhere! Get 97 and later so you have 29 splines instead of 27. The 35 is junk. I've twisted tubes and snapped axles with them BUT don't let that scare you from 33s. With an open diff and mostly street use, you will be fine. I broke shit with a welded rear and jumping the shit out of it with 33s.

Good luck finding a 44. They are all spoken for or scrapped, but in all honesty the 8.25 is plenty strong. I've seen one break after years of hard wheelin, welded, and it was a 27 spline. Unless you plan on going bigger than 35s the 8.25 is plenty. Plus I'd you somehow do break one, you can pick another one up easily from the jumpyard for cheap. They are a direct swap too. Very easy.

dont mean to highjack, but any of you hillrods have lift parts for a XJ? im lookin for front coils, adj trackbar, and lower control arms....

 

[Outlaw]

Fixed arms or a LA setup? IDK what you guys use for a supplier at goodfellas, but we are distributors for rusty's and rough country, if you need anything let me know. As far as used stuff laying around, I dont off the top of my head.

 

[daturbosix]

yeah id be looking for used stuff. its for my old mans Heep.

fixed extended lowers is what id be looking for. no need for a long arm with only going about 4" up.

 

[Outlaw]

For sure. I'll dig around and see if I've got anything for ya.

 

[daturbosix]

10 4

 

[clint282cc]

I got some 4.5" and 3"coils. With 3" you won't need control arms or track bar..n

 

[daturbosix]

i got some 4 or 5" leafs or some shit. a spring shop made them, i got them for a song.
what would you want for the 3 or the 4.5? or maybe both?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Looking good, cannot wait to see it after it settles...

 

[clint282cc]

$100 each. the 4.5 are brand new. about 5 miles on them. both are rustys. pm me if your interested. im willing to drive a little bit too.
