LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Finally, our Rubi is lifted

not sure if I really have any tech to add.

I went with a tried and tested kit - the place I bought it from sells about 500 identical kits alone per year. That doesn't count all the other vendors who sell em. Its a standard Old Man Emu Heavy Duty 2.5" Kit (Springs and Shocks) combined with a JKS 1.25" Body Lift, Motor Mount Lift, and Quicker Disconnects. Many, many folks on the Rubicon Owners Forum site run this setup.

I had planned on the new Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 Tires, but they are on 90 day national backorder, and I didn't wanna run around that long on the stock MTRs, so I went for choice #2, the Mickey T MTZs. Again, 285-75-16 is a tried and tested size with this lift kit.

Other than that, in the past year I added Warn bumpers I got used from a local jeep club's classified ads and some ebay knockoff Bushwacker flares.

Thanks for all the compliments!

Looks good Don. What happened to the Hancock's, better deal on the Mickey's? Time to adjust the sig block.

It seems that everyone that runs OME stuff loves it. Got a tummy tucker yet? Did you do the wrenching on it?

I do not have a tummy tucker yet - I will need to buy a CV driveshaft at the same time, so that's about another $800-$1000, plus I'd feel more comfortable if I had a djustable control arms at that point too, so lets call it $1500-$1700. I did do all the wrenching along with KJ-BOL, FreeJeep, and a buddy from work. BakerKJ stopped by for moral support a couple time throughout the day too.

Man, I wanna bring the rubicon, but my whole family is coming this year. 4 in a wrangler for 1200 miles each way will be tough. Gotta figure out how to carry all of us and our gear in such a small vehicle. Might have to suffice with the KJ for one more trip until I get my JK. We'll see what happens. I'll keep it a surprise.
