Like we talked there is a fix for that spring issue but neither you or I want to do it

You're right, I went through some stuff that made good use of my suspension and it wasn't that bad. There's no way I'm dropping it, I'll just live with it until they come out with better a arms. :frankie:

I have an idea some day here when I get some time and I am almost certain it would take care of my issue just need a plasma cutter for 10 minutes and a 3 inch by 8 inch piece of 1/4 inch steel

I'm listening. Or is it something you don't want to let out yet?

They probably only need about 1/4" more distance out. I know that's easier said than done though. JBA still hasn't replied to my email about the spring contact. I hope they're looking at a way to fix it. How cool would that be?
I ran across a you tube of the 4" lift and the a-arms look a little different. They come out from the bolt a little ways then bend downward then go back out. Maybe we're close enough to the 4" mark that we need some like that. Do marlan's hit the springs? He's got the same lift without the top spacers doesn't he?

What are you sitting at now? And what was stock
On KJs its 19 stock and I'm at 23.25-23.50
so little over 4 inches of lift
3.75-4 is fine just when you cross that line

Ted15 · **Posted:** Sun Jun 03, 2012 2:03 pm

The last time I measured it, I had a stock KK to compare it to.
Front stock 18 1/4" mine 21 1/4"
Rear stock. 19 1/4" mine 21 3/4"
I just remeasured and got 21 3/4 front and 22 rear but I'm sitting slightly uphill with some tools and recovery gear in the back.

Need some advice from the Rustoleum Hammered guys. I don't like the with pewter color so much now. I think i'll go back to black. Do I need to scuff the last dried coat before putting on some coats of black? Theyre clean as they've been sitting in the garage.

I also didn't get much of a hammered look from the first coats. I sprayed the first three coats until the paint almost ran. How thick do you have to spray it on to get the hammered look? They look pretty good as a gloss...just no hammer!

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Jun 03, 2012 8:11 pm

To get the hammered look out of it you need a good base two or three coats
Then lay on the last coat pretty heavy and it will get the look

If I was you I would just sand lightly and spray black over it
The underside of mine has had hammered/gloss/flat/hammered again etc with no ill effects

Oh I still need to get down to your place to get the "thing" out of your garage. I need it now since I have spare time :wink:

Megalos · **Posted:** Sun Jun 03, 2012 8:18 pm

I'll try adding a heavy coat of black after a light sanding and cleaning..probably next weekend.

The "thing" in the garage is just collecting dust. Let me know when you're coming to get it and at least chase some of the spiders out of it for you.

Forgot to mention I received a safety award today along with a raise in pay! :shock:

Maybe that's why I slept like doo doo today, trying to think of how not to have momma know of the raise so it can be slid into the "toy" fund :ROTFL:

Ted15 · **Posted:** Mon Jun 04, 2012 9:32 pm
