I'm not quite sure how you managed to get a 5.5" lift on your KJ. I'm assuming this is the truck you saw in the magazine...

mehkick has a thread on this KJ he seen in a nearby hometown on swmpthg,s liberty and IIRC he used both springs and spacers to axchieve his lift.I too am only a few miles away from swmpthg,but have'nt had the chance to check it out yet.I think it's in the "Midwest" section.However I did manage to find a pic of it.Hope you don't mind me showin' this thing off,as it is sweeeeeet.Let me know "swmpthg" and I'll delete it at your request. :wink:

Go up to meh_kicks reply and click on his "Cardomain" page for a few mild offroad pics down at the river.Our rocks here in ohio don't compare to your landscaping,but it looks like it has potential.
