Project "is it finished yet?" build thread

Much better lowered but I have to comment on the cutting of the coils. I definately dont agree with this. When the front suspension is unloaded, the coil is at full extention with no weight on it. For example, if you come off a rock and that spring is unloaded and you need to put weight on it, it now has an extra 1"-2" to travel or whatever you cut off to finally load that spring. The reason it isnt that good is because your spring isnt able to control the body until it gets weight on it. Just my $ .02

Yea i understand what your saying and i agree with you. These coils are only going to be temporary though. I have the money right now to buy new coils, but i would much rather spend that money on things to try to get my axles underneath and the swap completed. I definetly will be buying 5" coil springs in the near future though.

It's a custom bumper built by a-z fabrication with 3/16 and 1/4 steel. My buddy with an xj on 35's had it made for himself, and he ran it for about 2-3 months before buying tnt's rockrunner. Back when i first starting building my rig he offered me $200 for it and i was like YESSIR. I don't know if it ever even saw the trails.

MUCH BETTER

looks like we need to edit the lift measuring stick

[Even]

EVB fucked up and let me take the wrong shocks. They have the same year cherokee getting a lift put in and the part numbers are exact same. Since they're nice guys, and agreed to pay for my bumpstops, and i don't really need them right away.....i gotta wait another 5-6 days or so until mine are in.

[spanky]

looks like a sweet set up . cant wait to see it on the trails

[XJLI]

GAY.

how are they the wrong shocks?

[Jeep Creep]

i think what he is saying that they are not the wrong shocks, its just that those werent supposed to go to him, his havent come in yet.

[Even]

Yea they are the right shocks, it's just they forgot to order 2 sets and this other cherokee is on a deadline for them. So since they offered to pay for my bumps i'm gonna do them a favor.

[XJLI]

oooooooooooo ok.
