Bodacious. Was this stock before. Tell us about the difference in ride quality.

Our TJ is in the middle of an RE LA-Extreme build still about a month away from road duty yet.

Yeah I bought it used and stock back in June. I've only had it back for a couple of days since the install so my opinion of the ride quality is limited. So far I have noticed that I feel more of the bumps in the road through the steering. And when hitting said bumps, I have to hold on kinda tight to keep it from getting away from me. But that may be partially due to the fact that even though I have a stronger steering set-up now, I still have the stock stabilizer mounted up. Other than that, it feels pretty close to stock, just a bit more tippy in the corners (as you would expect). So far, I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. I'll let you know how it wheels in a couple weeks after I get the chance to break it in proper.

Why is yours taking so long? They had mine in and out of the shop in three days, including a parts mix up with the steering components and having to do a custom exhaust to fit around the control arm.

Doing it in our 'spare' time.

Pulled off a 3.5" short arm lift. Anybody interested? Also will be pulling 2" Body lift.

what you got for short arm lift? whole thing?

lilmatty · **Posted:** Tue Oct 17, 2006 6:17 pm

The lift is tall enough for 35s. 6". 2" of it is a body lift. The rest is springs and spacers. CAs are reported to be Curry. JKS discos need some mount hardware but the QD units are in fine shape. Rancho shocks are ok but should be replaced.

So exaclty what does it come with

....

I can see it appears that there are JKS Quick Disconnects with missing parts.

3.5" Springs & shocks that are in OK condition.

Any steering or Control Arm's?

The meat is the control arms, springs, spacers, bump stops, and shocks. Also coming off is the pittman and track bars. They're the stock ones I believe. JKS discos: the bold heads were stripped so we had to saw the bolt. Spare parts avaiable at JKS. Shocks are Rancho 9000, the adjustable kind. They seem a little soft but not yet done for.

The springs are red so I'm guessing Skyjacker.

This all fit under a 98 TJ.
