Im sure I forgot somethings but Im currently working on going 35s and fullwith HP D44 and 9in with ARBs.

:welcome: You can find out how to post images at this :link: (http://www.xjtalk.com/showthread.php?t=174)

We just don't have the extra disk space to save all the pictures.

Sounds like you've done a lot of work to yours. I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures, so if you need any help just PM me, msmoorenburg, or any of the moderators.

Thanks for the link. I will check it out and try to get some pics up. Although not sure if I have any with the new bumpers or half door.

How do you keep your coil spring in? I didn't think it would be a problem until a member recently went to long arms.

[03ghosthemi]

I know Rustys sometimes gets a bad rap but so far it has been great. And as for the coils they are just clipped in at the bottom and during flex they dont drop past the bumpstop shaft or support, whatever it is called. Now that I put in the ACOS (worried that my new bumper/winch would sag the front) my shocks limit the down travel. One of those things I need to address. Once I deal with the shocks, limit straps.

Seems like their prices were in line with others, but the shipping was like that 99 cent gizmo with $49.95 shipping!

[03ghosthemi]

The Jeep had an old version of the Rustys long arm installed (whooped) when I got it so I just got new updated arms/bushings this past summer. So I have no idea what they would charge for shipping. If I had to buy a new lift I would just go with a Rockkrawler setup. Members of the club have had good luck with them and their shop is only 25mins from my house.

I wish mine had come with a 6.5" LA setup already installed... LOL... but either way that is a nice setup regardless...

[03ghosthemi]

Thanks for the comments everybody. Yeah the 6.5 LA flexed really good. Now I have to get back to painting my rims so I can get my 35s mounted and see how much more trimming or bumpstoping I need to do. They have been sitting in my basement for 2 weeks and its killing me.
