Got my KJ almost two years ago. Started with audio work before I knew anything about Jeeping, now almost all my suspension is custom made by me on an extreme budget. Mostly junkyard parts and mediocre welds.

About 7" of lift from stock

DIY SAS, huge project that helped me discover why the liberty was not made for a solid front axle but I did anyway because why not.

Dana 30 from a 2000 Grand Cherokee
Custom 32" long arms
Rear shocks on front
RC lift shocks on rear
Diy front sway bar
Dodge 2500 steering box
1.5" home Depot transfer case drop
Custom a-link rear drop bracket (copied JBA drop bracket)
Rear lift springs from the junkyard (not sure what from, they were on the ground in the Mopar aisle)
Thrush glasspack muffler (shortened exhaust too)
Custom ram intake
33" Cooper discoverer at3's

Well .... yes ... no ......yes. Its still sitting here, collecting dust! Family health issues got in the way. It kept getting worse and became a full-time caregiver for my wife in addition to a full-time job. Then i bought this one to drive in the meantime. Decided to just work on the '04 that you see here. Someday I'll get back to it. Here's a picture of Thunderstruck as it sits now. My wife is in a nursing home now. Image
