  1. Here are the stats as it sits today, the day after install Front bumper fron plastic on botton, Stock 13.75", now 16" Rear bumper from bottom plastic, Stock 20", now 23" top of wheel well clearance, front stock 28.5" tires 5" , now w/ 29.5" tires 7" Rear stock 28.5 tires 7" ,now 29.5 tires9.25"
  2. wondering if JKS makes a rear track bar that will fit
  3. I figured as much, I have more then 2" of lift today, LOL. Makes them 30" tires look tiny
  4. And so it happened today, its all done, ...kinda Stock bits My favorite toy, 6 yrs old and still kickin So first came pulling the hubs, c clip and all that, and don't forget those 2 screws Eveything came off fairly easily, pulled the strut, made pulling the short shaft a breeze. cleaned and regreased everything, all in good knick I installed axle, and then installed the warn hub so I could lock the axle, which made torqueing the axle easier Axle done, hub done, Strut assembly, went in, brakes went on, Used 2 camber bolts per side, was able to get it close. going in for alignment on Monday. The rear took what felt like 5 minutes compared to the front. Unbolt swaybar, track ba,r.take diff breather hose off, pull shocks and drop axle, plenty of room to install springs with out a fuss Picks and measurments of completed in a couple days, waiting for a little settling.
  5. not fine, off by 3/4", I can live with it for a bit
  6. Any aftermarket track bars or brackets to put rear axle back center after lift?
  7. Weehaa, all the goodies are in, did honeys timing belt on her jetta this morning, a little wrenched out. Tomorrow we bleed. partslist: performance brake slotted, electroplated, slotted, and dimpled rotors, Bilstien rear shocks, KYB G2 front struts, kyb bearing caps and new bump stops, AC 2" lift springs front and rear, Warn hubs, and new short shafts. Will add before and after on ride height, and in process work pics.
  8. ive been hunting for fender flares as well, will be watching
  9. very interested in this too, being the new owner of a 5 speed. Any pedal adjustments, mine is all the way to the floor?
  10. im on 3 other forums and build threads are separate from member rides. members rides is a show case, build threads are just that
  11. Yuppers, Been using their products for years. went with this one from Brake performance.
  12. IMO a build thread is just that, showing what mods and work you are doing to your rig, for others to see and maybe reference. I cant find the "members Rides" Found it, its outside the R50 area. Ok I can post there, can someone delete this here?
  13. level 8 guardians, 16" 3.5" neg backset 255/70/r16 yes lift on the silver one
  14. thanks, Ive been here for a short bit, 2nd pathy the other one
  15. So far, I have just ordered parts, I have done the audio and blue tooth, Cleaned up the outside which included removing and painting plastic bits that were faded. mirrors, wiper arm, windshield cowl, rear window vents. I have ordered my Warn Hubs, AC 2" lift, slotted and dimpled front rotors. Have mounted roof basket with kayak rack and bike rack. Also removed all the badges in the rear I will document all work with a few picks.
  16. agreed, I jacked up a trail blazer and sent pics to GM and told them the same thing
  17. k9sar, thanks. yes my garage is massive, purpose built. especially with the wide stairs down to the basement a btter perspective of it
  18. yes, In the jeep world we tend to stay away fron manual. again with the shifting in slop sucks. but out in Nevada where I am going, im hopeing its a bit different. or should I swap it to autotragic Oh and Level8 Guardians. going with the same wheel in the black too
  19. Hoping to do some prevention on that front, including moving to the desert, lol yes on the steal part, thata why I just went for it. a wholesaler had it. Got very lucky. going with the AC 2"
  20. Frame is still solid, running 4x4 design spacers, pm me email and I can send pics of under body.
  21. I have the spacers on the 99, was just looking for input from people on the different lifts, I went with the AC 2" delux with bilstiens and GR2's Wasn't looking for spacing or any math, just folks's feelings on it.
  22. checked the thread, a lot of wheel talk, got the wheels, looking for current info on the 2 lifts specificly
  23. Thanks, info on peoples experiences with the lifts aren't current. just looking for the feedback, I have my wheels sussed out, not my lift. thanks again for your input. verty valued
