So, i picked up my OME/Rancho lift from Budke this past weekend... and i'm going to install it probably this Friday if not then Saturday... Should be able to get a front end alignment as well same day, anyone willing to come lend a hand i will b at the auto hobby shop on Ft. Stewart in GA beginning at 12:30pm lol... But big thanks goes to Budke for selling me his lift... got a question for all of you libby experts here... will I be able to fit my 31X10.50-15's w/o scrubbing now??? it seems that they only scrub when turned to lock and in reverse, but it has mauled at the edges of the outside a little bit...

you may get some scrubbing, really depends on the offset of the rims

shouldn't be anything that pounding the pinchweld flat won't fix

I swear i run into the most ridiculous problems on this jeep...

I have two different locks for the lugs on my jeep... only one wheel is different than the other three... (previous owners fault) and it just so happens that i lost the lock that goes to the other three wheels but only after i had removed the drivers side rear and replaced the shock and spring... not wanting to undue my hard work, i managed to fanaggle(technical term there) the other rear spring out and the new one in with a crow bar... then replaced the shock... only me... i swear i have no clue what happened to my other lug key... but i do know that my next visit to autozone will fix that... i will get a lock removal kit, remove the locks (all of them) and replace them with a normal booty lug nut!

You can remove those locks fairly easily, get a socket just smaller than will fit over the body, pound it on with a hammer and then remove the lock. I had this issue with McGard wheel locks, I think it took a 3/4 socket, cheap one that I didn't care about and had the first lock off in 5 minutes. Took me longer to knock the lock out of the socket than turn the lock off the stud. had the other three off in 5 minutes top.

They are soooo easy to remove, you will realize that they are not worth the price. Someone wants your wheels, those locks won't slow them down one bit.

darn, bummer dude!
But I was looking at that exact same TJ.
Why didn't you tell the dealer to swap the springs out so you'd have the full lift for sale?
I may know someone who would want the lift, the guy who might be buying my KJ. :D
