Revtek lift install on my 02

[theholybull]

FIrst off let me start off by saying that i know you guys hate the spacer lifts, after weighing my budget and lift options available i decided that the revtek lift was the way i was going to go. I was in desperate need of new rubber my 245 70 wranglers needed replaced in the fall and i figured that i could make it another winter, I was wrong. I had a set of BFG 31x10.50r15 ats in the shed that had 5000 miles on them that were just begging to go under my libby. After an order to summit for the revtek lift and a set of cragar soft 8s in a 15x7 with a 4 inch back space i was set. I must say that that was the easiest lift i have ever installed in my life. it was installed in less than an hour and a half. T then took a trip sown a road covered in a foot of snow and i have to say that the ride is not bad at all. The jeep just rolled over 100k and the springs dont seem to have sagged much at all. Hell if they do i will just order a set of OME springs if i seem to loose a little altitude over time. for the time being Im happy. I'll get some pics up tomorrow, by the time i was done playing in the snow it was dark. The only down side is my wife wants her 09 kk lifted now.......

Alignment yet?

Also throw some Teraflex bumpstops in the front that will help save your shocks a little

Ashland,......... I run through there all of the time going down home on weekends!

they are a lot easier on the wallet when you bust them.

Doesn't matter curbs will do the same thing if you hit it right, pulling into a parking lot flex's the suspension , trust me on this one

Those Losi micro crawlers? Looks like a Revell CJ7 body on one of em.

Yea you are correct on both. the other body is a jeep commando.

I hope it meets the approval of all those who require MAN tires on libbys. Oh yea they rub like a *****. Rubber rubbing on plastic never really bothered me any way. It like a loud exhaust, it lets em know youre coming.

 

[tommudd]

So your stock springs have sagged some. Average for KJs seems to be "about" 19 new stock so you got some lift and I bet they are rubbing then

Looks good though with "man" tires on !
