Early in the game, when I first figured out why we were so limited on tire height, I tried contacting one of our Vendors who appeared to specialize on these kinds of things and got absolutely NO response. Maybe if some of you tried to contact a few of them we might be noticed. Rocky Road may also have an interest in this and have some contacts.

I personally don't care to go with taller tires because of the gearing but you should build YOUR Jeep the way that YOU want to. That is the wonderful things about Jeeps. If we need to start an email campaign on this, I'm in.

Sway bar extension.

Thanks for that. One more picture request. Can I get a shot of the rear control arm installed.

**Gramps** · 02-02-2008, 02:57 PM

Old and new. It's been 3 months since these came out, should I post the pics instead of the diagrams now? If anyone was going to steal RR methods you think that they would have done it by now.

Old and new rear control arms.

Picture works better for those trying install. That was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks so much.

Lift is installed and the Compass is at the alignment shop. We got it there an hour before the place closed and they are not open on Sunday. Going to have to pick it back up on Monday. The alignment was very off after the lift went on.

Picture of some of the install process. We got in a hurry towards the end and didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked.

how bad did it handle on the way to the alignment shop??? i'll be installing mine next sunday, then gotta drive it home (about 25 miles if i miss the last ferry) then 5 miles to the alignment shop monday...

also those first pics of the compass, they before or after?

Doba · 02-02-2008, 09:07 PM

Those were the before pics. Had to drive it 20 miles to the alignment shop. Drove like crap and wandered a lot, but it was managable. I'll have to get after pics on Monday. Everything will need to get tightened up again. It was creeking a lot on the way there.

JF has updated to the latest vBullitin software and it looks like just about all of the attached images are now links that require a click. SORRY! Some are showing the pics and some aren't.

I'm checking into it.

Here are the actual pics for the install with links to the instructions.
