Cabz Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Well I got my MJ lifted today :D I used the rustys 4.5 kit with the MJ full rear packs. Before After The rear sits at about 5",after it settles I'm sure it will be at 4". The spring went in OK getting the rear shakles not to roll forward was a load of fun , We had to pry them back and lower the jack at the same time to get them to point torward the rear. Other than that this was the smoothest lift and axle swap I have ever done . It took about 6 hours start to finish with two people. I also swapped in my new MJ d44 and 93 D30 with the 3.55 gears as opposed to the 3.08's I had . I will post up more news on the rustys springs as I wear them in but so far they are SAWEET! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STROKERMJ Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Sweet, when I picked mine up from Eagle, it looked "almost" rust free, then when I pulled all the interior out, OH BOY, I ended up replacing the drivers side floor board.

Cabz Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Mine sat in ST Augustine FL near the beach for two+ years with a 2" High water line in the front floorbaord ( DS ) and it only has too small dime size holes . I still havent figured out why the floor wasn't gone , But I'm thankful it ain't :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWLONGSHOT Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have found these springs to be a bit stiffer than stock but not uffensive. I mounted mine with the same extended shackle for easer mounting as they are a bit shorter than factory. In a couple weeks I'll install some chevy shackles. They are 4.75" long so only a tad shorter than factory MJ's. What if anything did you do with/for bump stops in the rear??? CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
