Been having fun the last couple days with getting my rig hunting trail ready!
Still a bit of work left to go, but its coming along!
The lift is from Iron Rock Offroad and is the 7" Critical path long arm.

A lot of work and expense for sure! How much will your ground clearance increase at the front and rear bell housings?
:confused:

[captain2k_ca]

I wont know that until I put the new tires on.

[skeet]

We lift the body all to H3ll and gone and the differentials determine how deep in the mud we can go.. But it do look neat:D

[captain2k_ca]

Cant doa body lift on a ZJ. Unibody. I could add spacers to the springs for a bit more height if I really wanted...but its pretty high!!

With tires on...just need to get some better pix in the daylight!!
