Hey! Sorry for the late response. I was going to wait for the diesel, but changed my mind due to the amount that the jeep will sit without running.
I will get some pictures of the wheel clearances for you. going with a 4.5 lift you will be fine without modifying the fenders though.
For now it is just the stock spare. I am still debating on what to do there. In the 23+ years I have been doing this I have never been in a situation where I needed a full size spare and could not plug/patch a damaged tire. So I am thinking of leaving the stock 33" tire under there and just...
Well I finally got the rest of my lift parts last Wednesday and was able to get them installed Thursday. Got the rest of the stuff installed as well and took "Maximus" out for a shakedown run over the weekend. Everything worked flawlessly, I could not be happier! Let me know what you guys think...
Ok! Gears are completed, also got the Rock sliders on along with the front bumper, lights, winch, superchip, and trax on top of the decked unit installed today. Making progress, just wish the rest of the lift parts would get here so I can get the lift on! Here are some progress pics.
Jeep finally came in! took delivery and got it in the shop to start the build. Last night I installed the Decked unit, tonneau cover, And ARB twin Air compressor. Today I am installing the Gears, and the Super chip.
I opened up all my boxes for the lift kit yesterday and discovered that I was...
Well, I have all my parts with 1 exception. Jeep due to all the world issues has been delayed and I am still waiting to take delivery. This has been rough! hopefully I will have it in a week or so. As soon as it hits the ground here the build begins! :)
Gotcha. Thanks for the info. This RC lift has 3" bump stops as per their recommendation with the 39's. I will play with it and see what adjustments I am going to have to make to get it all working correctly as I will have constant weight in the rear (couple hundred lbs at all times).
Thanks for the heads up on the rear fenders! I was thinking about letting them "Self Clearance" themselves, I will see how bad it is after a shake down run. If it is horrible I will get inners for the rear as well. As for the Synergy brace, yes I have that as well, just forgot to add it to the...
Well this is fitting for my first post. Hello everyone! I guess I will start with throwing out a little background on myself. Bare with me as I get to the build details.
I am a longtime Jeep owner. I have personally built 5 Jeeps now with this Gladiator Being my 6th official Jeep build. My...
