XJ Kid 89

so after having my JK for 2 months its finally started to grow up. And for all you guys and gals wondering what your jeep will look like at that awkward adolescent stage between lift and new meats, its not as bad as you would think.

Before:



After the 2.5" Rough Country Budget boost:







i didnt do a write up, but the install was VERY easy and straight forward. it only took me about 2.5 hours of actual work installing it on my own. thats not including the times i had to stop for the downpours we had on sunday. so far im happy with everything and cant wait to get my new 33's out of the barn and onto the JK.
sorry for all the pics, but i know when i was looking for them b4 i did my lift i wanted them from every side and angle possible. hope this helps someone out.

doesnt look too bad... would be much better with the 33s! might even get a date to the prom!

haha ill be sure to post up when i get the 33's on. im just waiting for a set of spacers to arrive so my 15's will clear the calipers.

While you're waiting I would put the center caps back on the wheels.


Looks good with the lift.

thanks guys. the rims i have are cragar soft 8's,

and the reason my centers are off is b/c i just painted them black to match my new rims should only be another day or so before i get the spacers so i didnt think it was worth putting them back on

Your little boy is growing up, you must be so proud

I was thinking of installing the same lift before I bought new wheels and tires, but wondered how it would look. Not to bad at all.

I ran that way for 6 months, 2" BB with stock 32's, I probably still would be running that way if I hadn't cut down a tire on the trail.
