Northern California, doing a build backwards. Her name is Dakota
Hello, this is my first jeep and technically my first car. She is beautiful and her name is Dakota. I live in true northern california, like 200 miles north of San Fran. Looked for over a year and a half for a jeep but none fit my budget till i found her, the only problem is that she has a four inch lift and 33s. Not a very good daily driver so looking to downgrade, on a budget.

First day I got her


Now

Trade for someones 2.5 springs. For a DD that's a good height.

I plan on doing that eventually, but unfortunately I don't live somewhere where people frequent the forums, most of the stuff I found for sale in there was more east coast. It would be a pain to ship them. I might end up getting a set of smaller springs for the rear and then cutting the front.

My next big problem is the custom drive shaft set up I have that's modified for this massive lift. 2.5 would be nice, I might be getting into a trade for a three inch trail master lift. Just ordered (smaller) tires today. (31 bf goodies, all terrain)

Got the new tires, makes it drive so much better. Still looking at lowering, what has been said of cutting springs? It would only be the front as they don't have the pig tails.
