Hey guys so I have had it up to hear
with seeing all of these lifted jeeps. I am done i am just fed up. My insurance allows for a minor lift now so guess what I am doing? Yes lifting! Ok so i have never lifted a jeep, my current suspension is a stock rubicon set up. I was looking to get all the info i can before i purchase a lift. To begin with i am on a budget since i am a university student so obviously school in canada is expensive and **ck.
OK so the one thing i do know that i want to get something along the lines of king off roading suspension http://www.quadratec.com/products/16270_002X_A_PG.htm
I won't be swapping out bumpers that one is for sure, possibly cutting to a stubby in due time. But until then I will keep the stock bumpers. My main goal is to get a suspension that will take a beating and keep on going.
So as a noob i have prayed to the wheeling gods every time i make a run on the local pre runner trails with the guys and they seem to hate me so i have to ask you all. What do i need other then the shocks and springs to complete the lift? What needs to be swapped out etc... If something doesn't need to be swapped out I won't be swapping it until it breaks to be honest. My goal with MILO is to run it with this set up till my motor gives out then swap to a 3.0L desiel out of the dodge sprinter since I adore those motors, i know their are many other choices but i was going to go for either a 2.7 or 3.0 then buy another rig just to wheel and keep this batboy as my DD since by then I should have gotten rid of my sumer car so cash won't be a problem and I should have my engineering job.
So guys I want to have this set up on my rig so i can still run the pre runner trails and do some light wheeling nothing drastic really, all the trails around where i live i have made through with my stock set up only need to use my recovery kit once.
So this is my rig 2007 JKU "aka Milo"
I want to give her a 1.5-2 inch lift and keep my GY duratracs.
Please help me!!!!!! It wasn't until i parked beside the black jeep on my way to practice did i finally just lose it! SO now i am calling for aid from all my fellow jeepers! Help a student figure it out! I would take donations
