Lifted pics.

[ArtCloud]

Heres the long awaited lifted pics of my jeep, I ended up geting 3 inches exactly. So I'm sitting 4 inches over stock with the body lift, I need 33's BAD!

I have a set of rims and 33" tires that will bolt right up. ;)

[OverkillZJ]

Looking good

Problem is I already have 2 nice sets of 16" wheels.

Further problem is that 16" tires cost an assload of money and xmas is right around the corner.

I'm looking at 33's being a pretty nice new years present to myself. Question is...put them on the Rubi wheels or the Mickey Thompsons?

Did I mention I'd like to sell some wheels and tires yet??

[JackdUp]

Lookin' good Art!

M/T Classic II? Definitely put the 33's on those!

[ArtCloud]

They're classic locks, same difference though.

I think 4" is about a perfect amount of lift!! 33 would be great for it!

Now you just need to get a front bumper, the front end looks kinda plain!

Whoa... never seen those arms before! Who makes those!

Edit: they kinda scare me with all that open space.

[jeepxj3]

NM I found it Rancho makes them.

That truss system is probably stronger than the tube that most others are made from. Where those LCA's might lack strength is lateral movement.

Those do look a little scary...but I'm sure they are strong or they wouldn't sell them. I bet those would pack with clay nicely though!

Nice looking jeep, you should come wheeling with us sometime.

[ArtCloud]

The LCA's are actually pretty beef, I was really surprised. They weight about 10lbs a piece. You'd have to worry about breaking a mount off way before the arms would see any damage, and they're quiet and comfortable with the greaseable reverse hourglass bushings. Overall the ride is the same if not better than stock, I need a CV style driveshaft soon though since I didn't do a tcase drop. I get a little shake above 30 mph nothing to major though.

Definitely the craziest control arms I've ever seen. With all the triangulated pieces, probably really strong though. I'm just curious as to how thick the metal is. When I saw them yesterday, it made me wonder if they were more eye-appealing than performance, but it seems as though they worked pretty well yesterday.

[stesul411]

I was thinkin the same thing when I saw them yesterday, the suspension seemd to work well tho. For the wheels I'd stick with the stock rubis, but thats just my opinion.

[Muzikman]

My guess, they are stronger than the brackets they are attached to anyway.

They are built like a truss bridge.

Check out the flex...

POSER!!!!:019::nod:

[Muzikman]

Is that a driveway shot?!?!? Dude, you had all day Sunday to pose on a rock in the woods! I think you need to wheel with Bill some, he'll show you the correct way to pose out in the woods! ;)

[JeepGeneral]

Art, did you get any pictures from Sunday? I thought I saw you running around with a camera in your hand.

[JeepGeneral]

[ArtCloud]

Hey, don't be jealous that I have a rock wall to pose on in my driveway! lol

Uh, hmmm, dont be so sure, He lives in Penn Hills so he has a retaining wall of rocks that are about waist/shoulder high I'm quite positve he could get the Jeep up on!!

[mudforblood]

Haha, driveway pics are cool though. It holds up the group when you stop, pose, get out and take pics of your own vehicle on a ride. Plus the group might leave without you.:042: The only good flex pics I get are in my driveway/yard. I have some big rocks in my yard and these are the small ones.

This is the obstacle on the edge of the cliff, the picture does no justice of how off-camber the rocks/hillside were...
