Good stuff, what are your plans for tires?

 

right now i have a set of used 33x12.50 to go on it but this summer ill pick up some new ones

 

Looks pretty good. What kind of springs are those? Also, kinda off topic, but what engine did your Jeep have in it?

You know, you could do a SOA on that thing now and have 9 or so inches of lift and a fairly undriveable Jeep.R) R)

 

its a trailmaster kit...

and the jeep has the 304 v8 8)

 

I was thinkin 304. I have one with the same tub with a 304 and I had another one with the same tub and a 258. I've always thought that someone had swapped in the 258 because I never could get the motor mounts right in it. It also had a 304 alternator bracket on it that didn't seem to fit right. Guy said it was the stock motor but I still have my doubts. I never did any research on it and finally sold it. Kinda wish I had it back though cause the body was straight on it and it had a good 4" suspension lift.

 

I didn't know there was a kit besides the Skyjacker lift (then again, I didn't spend a ton of time looking). If I had looked more, maybe I wouldn't have almost thrown the air ratchet through the rear quarter panel when the nuts didn't want to lock down (the bolts were tapered).

 

yeah i found it on quadratec.. it was about $100 cheaper than the skyjacker.. i figured there probably wont be that big of a differance for me... even if the skyjacker is a better ride.. i dont mind it being a rough ride.. its a JEEP it doesnt matter just so long as it goes places 8)

 

update with pics

 

Looks good

 

thanx
