offroader461 Posted September 15, 2007 Author Posted September 15, 2007 Eh...ground clearance w/these brackets has never been an issue w/ me and my trucks...had them on my 92XJ that was a rockcrawler and never got hung up...must be lucky :brows: i picked the brackets and all associated hardware only yesterday...passed on the UCA/LCA and the perches were gone...just gunna use them for a while until i can finally afford my LONGARMS...thats the goal...brackets are only temporary...pics up later Update 9/16/07: Got everything for the front ready..bought some Pro-comp ES3000 for a cherokee w/6" lift for $30 for the pair of fronts and they are only 1 month old..and got the rear perches :D ...Love them great deals...now i just need to weld the up and I'm ready to rock and roll
offroader461 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Posted October 22, 2007 Wow...been awhile since i updated...here's the recent scoop: I have been playing around with some other things and the lift is just sitting in the garage waiting for a free weekend to install it...I'm waiting on some funds to buy the cross-over steering kit from "lead-not-follow" and that will be going on too...i plan on using my Adj lower arms and stock uppers with the brackets but got a great deal on some fixed Rubicon Express UCA and fixed Pro-comp LCA (going on the XJ) for $65 shipped, and got my RK trackbar so hopefully i can finally get going on this and get it done! Pics will be up before, during and after install :cheers:
offroader461 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Finally got off my lazy @$$ yesterday and got some work done: -Drop brackets installed -RE UCA's installed -RE 3.5 springs installed -Shocks in all thats left is to adj my lowers to set the caster angle correctly...put on my RK trackbar and bracket, rear shackles and set everything up for my SOA my digi cam wasnt around so i only got one shot of the jeep in progress taken from my cellphone:
bhorocks Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 comin along! Need to finish up for that naxja run in march. we can represent comanche club! We just need big stickers!
offroader461 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 I know and after i finish up with all the lift stuff i still have to change F/R axle fluids out b/c I'm finally done with the break-in period with the new gears, pull the tail cone off the t-case and reseal it and re-fill and change my oil..LOL It never ends...LOL
bhorocks Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 guess i am lucky i started with 4.10 but those 36's will require 4.88
offroader461 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 yea u are lucky you started with 4.10's....wish i would have but hey all my seals and bearings plus gears and lockers are all new now so i don't have to worry about any of that for a while now... yea u putting those 36's on especially with the 2.5L you would need some 4.88 LOL....
CWLONGSHOT Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 A page or so back you mentioned you just got 4.5" coils. then here you say 3.5 coils. Which is it and do you have a pic with them in yet? CW
offroader461 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 well i had some 4.5" coils but didnt want to lift the front up 6.5" then when i do my SOA only get 5" ya know LOL...so i talked with "bhorocks" and he had some 3.5 RE so we traded...so i am running the RE 3.5 coils with my ACOS for a rough total of 5"..if my SOA nets any higher ill just turn my ACOS down to get it level when i get everything else done ill be sure to snap a pic for ya CW so you can see how it sits...sound good :cheers:
offroader461 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Posted January 24, 2008 SO MANY FLIPPIN PROBLEMS: Got my RK adj TB and drop bracket in but seem to not be tall enough for the bar...here's what happend After i installed everything and set it back on the ground it sat only 1/2" taller than b4....so today i went out and spun my ACOS down 1 1/4 and i still can't get my TB in the correct location... :headpop: I think I'm just gunna have to buy new coils b/c i think these have sagged some and i should just have stayed with my 4.5" but oh well.... :hateputers:
bhorocks Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 like i said on naxja, I will check the JY for those other coils. If they are there i'lll scoop em up.
