A few modifications...
« on: June 27, 2007, 08:52:19 PM »
i have enjoyed wheelin' my JK Rubi stock, but i figure it's about time i started upgrading. i decided to stick with 33's and stock suspension for now. i also picked up a new Fab Fours rear bumper. here are a few picks...

 the tires rub on the fenders a bit with the swaybar disco'd and flexed, but i am looking at a Rusty's 2 inch spring and shock lift that will take care of my clearance problems. now that i will be getting stuck even deeper in the $#%& a front bumper and winch are going to be next on the list.

 yeah, i kept my stock 32's for winter. i figure if go out winter wheelin' i can throw them back on for the day. but you never know, i'll leave em on until the first snow fall and maybe they will surprise me and be great on the ice.

 those are the stock flares. i'm not sure how wide they are ( i'll try to remember to measure and post back ).

the rear bumper is available at National 4 Wheel Drive, i would call them for prices. i know there is a big difference in price  between the 06 and 07 models. it's a great bumper. it is the only one i had seen online that i liked an d i like it much better in person mounted on my Jeep.

 yeah, i'm glad National had it in stock. i'm trying to avoid a spacer lift if i can. Rusty's makes a 2 inch lift that is a true coil spring and shock lift. here is a link to the site.

keeping in mind that this is my daily driver and i would rather do it right and not have any problems, could any one tell me if i would need to replace the front and rear track bar with this lift?

Thats one sweet looking jeep man,  especially like the look of the tires on her.
If it ain't broke, it ain't mine.
