Ok for a one man show with no experence it took me a bit longer than I wanted it too, but it is so close to being done now I can taste it.. Here is the good part, My 3" lift is a full 3" I think... However the stock springs were so bad that if lifted my YJ up a full 5.5 inches.. Prior to the lift on the road and any bump at all with an adult in the back seat the big ol 27" street tires would rub the fender flares. Now I have to get my big ol fat butt into a dead run and jump hard to get into the seat. I will learn how to get in with grace and poise in time hehehehe. I was able to stand on the front bumper before and pretty much bottom out the supension with a bounce or two. Now it does not even give doing the same. I still need to relocate the drop pitman arm, I managed to snap the rear break line trying to relocate it and have to deal with that, I still have to torque wrenche everything and have it all lined up at the front end place. Then it is time for some tires. I loved my stocker but this is like getting a whole new jeep. It took me a full 14.5 hours to get it up on its tires and standing on its new springs but I loved every min of it and diod all alone with a son handing me a tool once in a while. A special thanks to all who helped me with information and kind words. It made things a bit more plesant to say the least. Pitchers of the project well I had hoped to really document this event but it just did not happen. To involved and to dirty to handle the camera. but pics will be coming a day or two from now. Thanks again for everything Tug[addsig]
