Paid for
OME HD lift
LT 245/75/16 Revo's (30.8" and the tread width of the 255 P rated Revo)
other little things...

Sorry for no playing pictures, having to watch over my mother now, hoping to get a run going in the next few days.

Still waiting on the spare. I did my pinch welds and move up the foglight door and I can say I've had no rubbing.

The hitch height pic. is my dads CRD that's had some towing done with it so it might be a bit sagged. Mine was higher than his before the lift. In comparison to my #'s before the lift I gained about 3.25 all around w/ the lift and tires. Could go up more but I'm happy with his for now.

Lift helped handling but made it a little rough completely unloaded w/ stock tires at 36 psi. Now with the revo's even in a C class vs. a P rated it rides so much better. VERY stable in turns.

With all OME parts my lift was 630 shipped. My tires are 680 out the door for 5 from a friend of the family, sure beats the 900+ walmart and discount tire was quoting me.

Braking is a change, less pep on the motor but it'll still do the job in town mileage will be dropping but the little bit I did in town. But I really do believe they helped my highway mileage at least in this flat north central IL region.

Well I got bored and did the pinch welds before tires after measuring... It REALLY looks like I'd have to.. but i cannot confirm you would not rub with them factory.

Alignment gets done today and we'll see how that effects rubbing on the inner fender thats the close area now. on level ground, full lock I only have a fingers worth of room.

Tom, it's not done... just till I get bored with her again... Now I'm a happy camper... and a broke camper

Take back the no rub comment... Swaybar, full lock, over a bump and she'll rub. Just got my allignment done, and drove 200 miles taking the jeep to get aligned + taking the girlfriend shopping and averaged about 22mpg. That includes firestone's guy driving it and killing my mileage and running rush hour in a city then into a big storm at about 65/70 w/ lots of quick stops.

They got it aligned great, don't have the sheet on me, but before it drove fine but was out, espically the toe.

Lots of compliments so far, rain performance is amazing now but the handling difference is the most surprising. On the same roads I did today running 65/70 at night before in the turns 55 was too much. OME is Sweet.
