I have to ask...what is that red line on your trunk door?

Pinstripe. This is what it looked like before, I didn't like the other crap on it so I removed that silver door sticker & two 4x4 stickers on the back cargo windows.

Looks good. Stock a-arms?

Yes for now, but those are my next purchase in these next couple months.

Finally got my KK lifted a couple days ago. 3" OME/Bilstein lift w/ top plates, 1 extra rear iso and new front/rear bumpstops. Also had my lower ball joints replaced, and they found out my rear diff air hose was broken so they replaced that. Love the look and ride already, can definitely tell the difference! Thank you to everyone that I've bugged over the past 6 months about lift questions. [Last picture shows the amount my tires poke out from the 1.25" spidertrax spacers]

21" all around except Passenger's front which was nearly 21.5". I'm guessing the Driver's front wasn't that cause of the that side leaning issue.

looks good! not sure if its just the picture, but it looks like the rear is lower by a half inch or so. it would be nice to see a fourm member post there kk with a 2" spacer.

All three corners are 21" except passenger's front which is .5" higher.

I previously had a 2" Revtek spacer kit on...

Would never advise anyone to get the Revtek spacer kit, I believe it's the lowest end one available.

that looks pretty aggressive! I may want to go with a 2.5" then. without spacers my kk looks funny and since its lifted and has a 100lbs or so ;solar panel on the top, it makes me rethink doing doughnuts!

Oh you were referring to wheel spacers... I thought you meant lift. Then no sorry I never had 2" wheel spacers, only the 1.25". If you are going to get wheel spacers, I would ONLY recommend Spidertrax. Nothing else.

I would only recommend doing wheel offsets no spacers. But it you did anything over 1.25" your definitely going to not turn completely

@nFodzy, congratulations on the new OME lift. Looks really great, and I'm sure it drives better too. It really spiffs up the look of your KK.

Have you done the blacked out headlights mod? One of your new photos looks like it, but you've still got silver headlights in your "before" photos.

Glad everything worked out for you! Oh, and because the breather tube on your rear diff was broken, you might want to consider a fluid change back there. If it was contaminated with water, your ring and pinion gear life could be shortened.

Cheers,
Lauren

Took a road trip to ruidoso nm.

Little bit of ice on the kk

I really like the way it handled on the ice

Thank you sir! Yes I did blackout the headlights! Well i know they said they look at it and didn't see any water but i pick up my SOLID diff cover and will book an appt with the same shop. They're gonna change the fluid when i come back.

Looks great! Alignment and everything is done, right? Give it a few weeks and a few hundred/thousand miles and it'll ride even better.

PALiftedKK, it only looks nose high because of the snow stuck on the rocker by the front doors.

Thank you very much! Yes alignment was done, they said it drove really well too. I'll be looking around to see who offers lifetime warranty on alignments though and make the switch.

I kno goodyear has a plan where you can get 3 alignments for like 150$. Not positive on the price but its under 200

Check if there's any Firestones around you. They offer lifetime alignments.

NFodzy, the Jeep looks great. Reminds me of mine.

Glad you got the wheel spacers as well.

I'll have to take a look around, I don't think there's a Firestone. But we have a FountainTire so they might!

@Gageraid , thank you! I've been thinking about getting mud flaps now since they spit so much crap up on the sides, so the back of my pants are always dirty from getting out lol
