USAFSahara's Slow Buildup
I purchased my 01 Sahara in April of '07. PO was an old lady so this thing had tons of stainless, I think it may have even been a Fortec. Not for sure. It had 1.75'' spring spacers, 31x12.50R15s on aluminum wheels. As of now I have a 4'' RC lift and i retained the spring spacers. Threw on some 16 Pacer Ridgelines and 33x12.50R16s. The Pacers were a bad idea, wrong backspacing so they sat in way to far so i threw the old ones back on for now. Also added a Smittybuilt XRC8, and 4KCs.
Update here, gonna throw in some figures as to what I have spent so far:
Heres some pics:
Here it sits stock:

With one of the new wheels on for comparison:

And now for the lift-
Had a small complication during lift, axle moved to the side a little bit so a small hoist and pull it back:

And now after the lift in its current state except the wheels, the old ones are on it now:

And here it is disco'd

So how do you guys like it?
