Title: \'07 JK lift
Post by: Dragon on June 22, 2009, 06:04:00 AM
ok, after rubbing at the last WP run, I\'ve decided to go with a budget boost to give a little more room for the 33s. Up to now, I\'ve considered the mods just cosmetic (except for the Aussie), but now I guess I can start calling it a project.
I\'ve been piecing together a budget boost starting with a great deal I found on a set of 4-door hardtop/trailer package Rubicon springs and 2.5\" Terraflex spacers. Next up was an adjustable front trackbar (supposedly you can do without, but I\'d rather keep my axles in line).
I\'m going to pick up some shock spacers, a bracket for the rear trackbar, and some mount extensions for the brake lines.
once all of this has arrived, I hope to start putting it all together.
With the Rubicon springs and the spacers, I should see between 3 and 4 inches of lift.

35s would be nice, but funds are in short supply right now (hence the spacer lift instead of a true coil lift).
Plus, 35\" tires with the 4.10 gears is a real dog. Would need to bump up to 4.88s or 5.13s first. And unless I can find a \"sponsor\", it\'s gonna have to wait.
Prolly the next add-on will be adjustable front lower control arms to correct the rake.
Oh, and it looks like my left front axle seal is starting to leak, so I\'ll have to add that into the mix.

I\'m waiting for the suspension to settle...but it went from 35 1/8 at the center of the front fender to ~38\". so almost 3\" overall.
