all you did for the rear is leave out the .75" spacer?

Trimming the flares A N D adding bump stop extensions. I'm running 33s with the 3.25" and 1.25" w/ 1" bump stop extensions and I don't rub at all... but it's close.

Fixed my turn signal socket issue, touched up the paint, hopefully fixed water getting into the jeep from the hvac system.

Finally got everything buttoned up on the RC 2.5" 1"MML and swapping out a 3" BL for the 1.25" Did an alignment and checked all the torque specs and cured the death wobble that developed from the lift. Thanks to everyone here for all of the great advice. Definitely saved me a lot of time, money, and headaches

What's the length of your bump stop extensions?

NoVaHunter · 11-04-2009, 07:59 PM

Im not too mechanically inclined and didnt so the lift myself, so I have absolutely no idea

(that was a hard thing to admit)

LOL... no prob man. I'm guessing you have at least 1.5" of bump stop extensions. Trimming the flares gives a good amount of extra room which you already did

My guess is that you'll need at least 2" of BS extensions to run 35s. Just something to keep in mind.

NoVaHunter · 11-04-2009, 08:09 PM

Ill most likely add on a JKS 1.25" BL somewhere down the road....like when these tires wear out haha

I drove it. Still wishing it was a Cherokee. I parked it. I put a for sale sign in it.

Put the top on and cleaned out all the mud/dirt/grime/mold/everything that collected in it while it sat on my back porch.

jeepteejay · 11-04-2009, 09:31 PM

I got my Tom Woods driveshaft.
Instead of installing it, I just looked at it. Not sure why...

Looks really well made though

Just got my first Jeep about 2 weeks ago. It's an 06 Wrangler X. 4.0 auto, Silver/Black, black interior and totally stock. Found some Hella 500's on ebay for $50. Bought some Daystar switches and a vent switch panel from Quadratec. Got them installed (piece of cake). Tonight I ordered Olympic tube bumpers and side bars. Not sure if I'm going to install a lift kit or not. I'm pretty new to this, but I've been lurking around this forum since the day I picked it up. Got lots of ideas from you guys ! As soon as I get the bumpers and bars on I'll try to post some pics.
