Well, I finally got around to adding 2" of lift to my Jeep. I was running the OME 2.5" with 30" tires. We won some Goodyear tires at the Jeep Jamboree in Hot Springs Ark. in October. I decided on 32's so... I called Rocky Road, where I got my 2.5" lift. I wound up ordering the Trailblazer kit minus the springs which were already on. I wound up with 2" coil spacers and 1.5" shackles plus .5" leaf spring blocks. I also ordered new control arms, control arm drop kit, track bar, and quick disconnects for the front sway bar. So, after 3 full days using a friend's lift, I installed the control arms, minus the drop kit, the front spacers, rear shackles minus the leaf block and the track bar. The track bar was too long so I had to cut about an inch out and weld it to make "adjustable". I did manage to get the shackle bolts out ok after soaking them with penetrating oil for a week prior. The sway bar disconnects are useless as they need some sort of extensions to work. You would think that the person that took my order for a lift would have mentioned that I would need them. Anyway I am sitting at approx. 21" to the bottom of my rocker panel in front and about 21.5" in the rear with the 30's on. Don't know if the 32's are gonna make it. Any thoughts?
