1" Body Lift, Wheel Spacers and 35" KM/2's
Just took some pics of my Jeep during mid lift process. I have everything done except the 2.5" TF BB and still have to paint the wheels. Its amazing that 35's will fit under this thing with only a 1" BL. I took it off road today just to test things out and it rubs quite a bit in the rear where the rocker comes into the fender area when at full flex. Other than that there isn't any rubbing. I really like the look of it right now. Figured some of you might be interested in seeing how far the tires stick out and what it looks like. Here are some pics.
Also just to add, I have 4.10 gears and there wasnt much power loss to be honest. I dont plan on regearing until i get 37's and with the 4:1 transfer case the gears in 4 low are plenty low enough for me with the auto. I am not experiencing alot of down and upshifting on the freeway so far and these tires aren't much louder than the stock tires. Very happy with it so far.
I think my final plan with this thing will be just to add alot of skids, 37's and flat fenders in order to keep a LCOG.
Let me know what you think!

Love the look of it. Nice and low CG and big tires. I guess you have spacers, and I'm pretty sure a small lift with some bump stops and you're set. Wow.
Looks good!
Looks good!

Any issues with the BL install? Is it like the old style kits where you have to move the radiator up and all as well? Any issues with the 4 wd lever or anything else need to be extended?

No issues with the install other than the instructions not being very clear. On JK's with autos you don't need to alter anything. If you have a manual you will have to trim the shifter boot I believe.
