So this is were it all started for me.
My thread from when i first bought it.
So to make that thread short i bought the WJ for a steal deal of $3,500.
I quickly got a K&N 57 series FIPK kit for it, to go with that i also got a Borla cat back exhaust. After about four and a half or so months i decided i couldn't hear it enough so i removed the catylitic converter that was in front of the muffler(it might have just been a resonator, im not sure tho but it was honeycomb inside so i assumed it was a cat. But since it had no sensors around it i wasn't worried). As far as suspension goes i put a two inch budget boost on it to make it look a bit better. The previous owner had put on 245/75/16's on it, which is two sizes over stock so they rubbed a bit in reverse if you turned. But the BB took care of that. so all in all i ended up with the Jeepers itch once more when i seen this GC going down HWY-60 in Brandon.
So I decided to start researching and ended up wanting to get a Rough Country 4inch X-series lift. Which thanks to Jeffrey (RCEXTREME) i got a smoking deal and i purchased it today, so i should have it by Thursday next week. I decided to go with this kit after Scott (SDT03GCOverland) kindly came to my work and let me check out his rough country 4inch lift. He had the standard lift, which looked great. But i plan on doing 6inches with mine so i thought it best to get the adjustable lowers for the front and the few extra little things that come with the X-series kit.
As far as tires go i got these from the local 4wheel parts for a awesome deal of $250 for 5 rims and tires. they are 255/75/17's, BFG TA km's(the good ones not the km2's). The two fronts tires were chopped to hell since they prolly weren't rotated often, the rear tires seemed like they hadn't been replaced to long before they were removed because they are almost brand new, and the spare had never touched the ground. so i bought one new tire for $203, so i only had $450 invested in a nice set of rims and tires now.
So the saga continues i thought when i did a XJ with my Dad that i would be ok after getting rid of my Toyota Pickup i used to wheel, But it wasn't i cant stand being in such a stock feeling vehicle. so imma jack-er-up:duhrock::welder::duhrock:
Well if anyone has any helpful tips for me for doing the lift i would appreciate it thanks...let me know your thoughts....
