Congrats on it all...now what garage are you in?? Looks like a airplane hanger actually?

Looks good - have you got any driveshaft vibration ? That lift looks mighty tall ?

Yes, it is a hangar.

No, I didn't notice any, but I only drove it 11 mi. home.

Looks great. I have a very simlar setup. I added two upper spacers in the back and three spacers in the front. I have not noticed any vibration. I had about 1/8 inch clearance an the UBJ.

Have you experienced any rubbing yet while wheeling or going through sharp turns? I know you haven't put alot of wheeling time on the lift yet but I was just curious as to how it's all working out. I plan for my lift setup to be pretty much identical to yours.

I have had no rubbing now that I have my lift. I did have rubbing with my tires (245/70/16 Goodyear Silent Armor Wrangler) before I got lifted. Many go as large as 245/75/16 (like rubicon 31' MTRs) without much trouble.

You're not having any trouble w/ the swaybar or the UBJ contact? The rustys kit doesn't include the bumpstops does it?

I plan on a set of Rubi Moabs/245 Goodyear MTRs w/ the Rustys Coil Lift.

I have no problems at all so no bumpstops are needed. I have about 1/8 inch on the UBJ at full flex which is just want I wanted. I will get the Rusty spacer plate later if the springs settle too much. You may need to flatten the pinch welts but I am not 100% sure as I dont run MTRs.

Cool..I plan on taking the pinch weld off anyways so that won't be a problem. The reason I asked is to see how it worked w/ the 3 spacers for the clevis lift up front. Thanks.

I wouldn't cut it off, just pound it flat. I thought I read somewhere here that if you cut it, it may start separating.

That would be bad.

Nah I plan on flattening it, I'll do it the way everyone else has on here. Thanks for the heads up though! :wink:

I take it that this is an example of a highjacked thread

I got my tires today but I don't want to waste a post

Just lifted, tires next
