CWLONGSHOT Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I got a chance to try my MJ on a 30 degree RTI ramp last week. I happy and suprised with how it did. I made it 58" up ! I do not remember the calculation to get the score. (HELP) I do know it is a long bed so the WB is 119". Does it make a difference with the ramp being 30 degrees VS 20 degrees? Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Its got a 3" lift. RUSTY's front spring and a 1.75+ XJ shackle. My rear shocks are stock legnth so that did not do me any good. The rear springs are shot, the drivers side sags 1.5" lower than pass side. I have a set of new 2" lifted springs on order. I will install with the same extended shackle, 3" extended Rancho 5000's shocks. I think this will have the rear way higher than the front, so I will add a spacer to the front to balance it out.

attaboybob Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Cdub, is that another Comanche in one of those pictures? ...BOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 THANKS GUYS!! That makes my score 487 on a 30 degree ramp...not too shabby. Yea there is another Comanche there, Its a young member and its his daily driver, so he has done nothing to it. He is currently building a samuri. I ordered them from JC Whitney for lass than 100 bucks. But I am really beginning to regret it, as they have been on order for over one month and they tell me I cannot cancel the order....yea right I can't!!! I called saturday and someone is going to get ahold of me by Wednesday with an answer of what is going on. I found Rubicon Express also hase these although I did not price them. A local Spring mfg wanted $385 for a factory set and $440 for a 2" lifted pack. That was only a guess on the lift as they go by weights and i did not know what stock was, so I had no point of referance to go by. In hind sight, I really wish I had just bought the BDS lift I was looking at. It was 500+ and it included new front and rear springs as well as other extras. All i would have needed was shocks and I would not be in this perdicument!!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Ohhh, then you ordered add-a-leafs. That makes more sense. 500 smackers for just a 2" lift seems a bit excessive. Jeep on! --Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the AAL's off EBAY from a guy who does alot with Roughcountry. don't know if I will even need them....I'll add them to the JCW spring packs, If I ever get them!!! Still waitin' for that call from JCW! (That was a full spring pack, set, for the rear BTW.) If they screw me, I am just going with RE +2 full spring packs.
