What new lift are you going with?

avstec · Feb 7, 2018

Looks good. How do you like the Evo leveling kit? I'm currently debating on going that route or the 2" Rancho Sport system.

Don’t spend too much time debating, apparently Rancho and Evo use the same springs. Check out Draconian Winter’s build thread for evidence.

Kind of a franken-lift. Synergy springs (4.5" front, 3" rear), OME shocks, core4x4 LCAs, with some other synergy, evo, and rk components.

Thanks, I've been pretty happy with it. The stance was just right, the ride was pretty nice, and it didn't hurt the wallet too bad either. :rock:

Are you running the level 8 bully pro wheels?

Yep, bully pro. I didn't care for the cap-less look, so I made an adapter and used these MSA center caps. These are actually for atv wheels, but the diameter is spot on.

Very nice. It looks great!!

aemfinger · Feb 23, 2018

Finally! I’ve been waiting for tomorrow since I got this jeep almost 3 years ago...

aemfinger · Mar 2, 2018

Well that look longer than I expected!! After overnighting a few extra parts I finally got it finished. Had the tires Installed this morning. I still need to have it dialed in so front end alignment is next week.

looking real nice. :thumb:

Looking good! Is your grill a wrap or replacement?

Chrismendoza10 · Mar 9, 2018

Nice, I like the grill. How are you liking the deletes??? I thought about running a tenderness rear

Wow! I just saw this. That’s quite a transformation!

I like the minimalist look. Other than slinging a lot of water through the rear window you’ll probably like them. Kiss any hopes of having a clean rig goodbye!

aemfinger · Mar 17, 2018

Got the M8000 installed this morning. I had one on my first JK and it never let me down. Its not the 10s Platinum I’ve been dreaming about, but it saved me over $1000 to go towards a PR44!

Looks wild without the fenders! That would never fly in my neck of the woods.
