5.5" Rubicon Express Long Arm *PICS*

EaglesSJ · 01-15-2007, 06:01 PM

I finished my Long Arm lift yesterday and thought I would post some pics up, if you have any questions please feel free to ask. I bought this kit and a JB super short SYE and Tom Woods XB Premium driveshaft from Redrock4x4, and as usual it was an excellent deal with a great price! Thanks again Jason for the awesome service you provide.

Best pictorial I've seen in quite a while. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

wow that SS SYE seems to really give you a great DS angle on the CV's. How long of a driveshaft is that with the SS?

scrappy · 01-15-2007, 06:36 PM

also, It looks awesome.

One thing I couldn't help but notice............ Those cement blocks under the jack stands. PLEASE tell me there was something else holding that baby up. A cement block can and will literally explode under a load and drop the load like a rock. VERY dangerous.

20" Driveshaft. The Super short SYE is 3" shorter than a regular SYE and 1" shorter than a Atlas transfer case. The good part is thats only like $75 more than a regular SYE.

Amazing. I wish somebody would post pics like that with an Nth lift kit. I've been dying to see one with that many detailed pics.

Great job

Looks amazing. We'll have to go to OBX or Uwharrie sometime to test it out.

on that pic of the control arm on the belly pan, is that zerk fitting suppose to be down like that? Seems like if you got hung up on a rock it would get torn right off. Awesome lift though! if i had a big extra chunk of cash I would def. do that!! so purty

The rest of the pics are here if anyone wants to see them:

Also about the zerk fitting it has to face down on the rear lowers because the mount for the uppers is in the way of it facing towards the top. However all others face upwards. I am think of welding on a small skid to cover it. If you look in this pic you'll see that the upper arm mount gets in the way.
