So the next question(s)
Good and bad points?
anything you would want to change to make it better?
How much of a bumpstop do you have in the rear?
Just wondering
Looks good

as usual, Love your Rig!

did you do a cradle drop as well or were the cut cv's enough?

and how is the angle on the rear driveline with the adjustable rear arms?

Chino78 · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2010 6:52 pm

Did you take pictures of the craddle drop kit?? How many inches it drop? How your cv's angle??

timmyb457 · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2010 7:28 pm

I think lifting a kj more than 3'' is a headache.
At this point i see no bad points.
Maybe a bad issue is the fuel consumption. I see 20lt per 100km on the highway.
The frame has dropped about 2,5'' and the CV axles have been changed with heavyduty.
The cv's angle is quite the same when i had my OME-Skyjackers.

14 MPG on the highway? youch, could be worse i guess

extreme_kj · **Joined:** Fri Jul 10, 2009 8:06 am **Posts:** 42

No that's 11,8 MPG.
What about others consumption ???

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Tue May 04, 2010 4:34 am

Ah, my math must be off :lol:

I get about 17 average on the highway if i keep it between 55 and 65mph, with about 450lbs of bumpers and skids, and 100-150 lbs of cargo in the rear

but i'm only about 21 inches overall from flare to center of the wheel

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Tue May 04, 2010 4:42 am

Depending on what tire I run, as low as 14 and as high as 20 on the highway....

I don't know.. could it be the tire on the roof?
I've never try without it.

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Tue May 04, 2010 5:45 am

I'm sure it does have some to do with it

do you run 4.10 or 3.73 ?

extreme_kj · **Joined:** Fri Jul 10, 2009 8:06 am **Posts:** 42

I run Motive 4.10

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Tue May 04, 2010 6:04 am

then it's probably just a combination of the height plus tire on the roof, plus weight,

i can't imagine what else it could be, as nice as your rig is, i have to assume you keep it tuned up regularly

I do have to ask, how you like the Cooper STT's? I really liked the other tires you had, even tried to import a set but couldn't
