Pics of my TJ before, during, and after the lift

FWIW, I got about 7.5" of lift over stock with the OME springs and 33" tires.



And for anyone out there contemplating a budget lift kit, I would not recommend the 4" Trailblazer lift from Rocky Road Outfitters. It was billed as "all you need", but I ended up needing more. I would have gone the RE or Tera route if I had realized this up front.



Here is what I have installed: OME springs DT shocks (3000 I believe) Adjustable front track bar panhard relocation bracket transfer case 1" drop kit SYE - tail shaft conversion Tera extended rear sway bar links JKS QD's in front RE adjustable front lower control arms Drop pitman arm Procomp Steering damper shock



33x12.50x15 Firestone Destination M/T tires

I think I have a decent lift kit, but I would have preferred to get it all in one kit at one time instead of how I did it piecemeal.


Looks great to me! I think the best lifts are pieced together but it can be rather costly and time consuming.

I've got a word document describing my experience that I want to post at some point. Maybe I'll try to get it into HTML and post on my free web space. :) It's dang hard to document, photograph, and mechanic all at the same time. Oh yeah, those 4 kids need attention too. And the wife too.

Thanks Bill.

Looks good! Plz let us know how the Firestones perform.. as far as I know you are the first one here to have a set!

will do. I can't wait to get this thing off-road in some mud. We have rain in the forecast, so hopefully I can find some soon.

awwww too cute I've got a while on that front. My oldest is only 6.
