But I'm going to hold out on that, just because if I have any vibes with Tug after the install, I'll be getting a body lift and motor mount lift to "fix" the problem.

Details please! Brand? Size?

It's a secret!

You'll find out when it goes on!

On a completely different note, I had a really good saxophone lesson today. I think everybody should know that.

x2!!! What a tease!

SaxManClay · 04-06-2011, 06:38 PM

Sorry, I'm too busy converting rhythms in 3/4 to 12/16 to care!

SaxManClay · 04-06-2011, 06:44 PM

Okay, well here is a picture to help you out...

SaxManClay · 04-06-2011, 08:16 PM

Okay, enough teasing. I bought the Rough Country 2.5" kit. I've been eyeballing it for a while, so I'm looking forward to getting it. They actually told me that it would get to my house by Friday, so I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

I've heard a couple people getting vibes, and I've heard people not getting any. I'm hoping I don't get any just so I can get those BPE's.

It is only 2.5" of lift. More likely than not you won't get any vibes. I had a 3" lift on my old TJ and never got any vibes.

Why do you need bar pin eliminators if you are going to install them after the lift? Btw, RC has them pretty cheap ($40 for all 4).

SaxManClay · 04-06-2011, 08:47 PM

I'd like to get BPE's because I'm in the rust belt. MA always uses more than enough salt on the roads, and therefore that's why the underside of my Jeep looks like crap. I'd get BPE's because then I won't have to deal with the bolts rusting up and me not being able to get them off.

I just took a look at rough country's BPE's, and honestly they look kind of iffy. JKS's BPE's look much beefier and have a better quality look to them overall.

Wanna go in 50/50 with me on a gallon of Chassis Saver this summer? It'd literally be $50 each, and I've heard that a gallon is 5x as much as one frame needs with multiple layers.

You'll like the small lift with the MC fenders and 33's. I personally love mine! Looking forward to the progress.

X-Series - $1000
Tires - $1000
AA SYE - $500
Regear - $1000

I'm pretty sure those are accurate numbers, so it should work out.

And for tires, I was looking at the Duratracs. I can get a sick-nasty deal at Sears Auto, where I work.

Ahh good to see another Sears Auto center man on this site. Ive been there for 3 years now.

Sure! When you get here in the summer I'll be more than happy to go 50/50 with you.

Me too! UPS says they'll be here Monday. Can't wait!

Uhh, I actually don't work there anymore. I'm a Warehouse driver for Safelite Autoglass now, and I'm also a Saxophone Instructor at University Music in Lowell.

SaxManClay · 04-09-2011, 08:05 AM

So my kit is in the UPS warehouse, but I can't even go get it because they aren't open. So I'm going to waste this beautiful weekend not under my Jeep.

Anyway, I have other stuff to do to keep me busy. I get to work on my dads Cobalt SS, and I'll probably order myself another awesome part for my Jeep. I'm thinking Currie Antirock.
