Marlin says it should be at my house by December 12. Wife says it needs to be on the KJ by December 18, because she wants to go skiing on the 19.

Good luck. Mine should be installed on 15 Dec. Rock Lizard, Troy (a guess), me, and a few others will be installing, watching, taking pics, making pizza runs (Ahem!), getting in the way, laughing, cursing, gawking, back-seat driving (err......mechanic-ing), getting bored, anbd whatever else.

We'll let you know how mine goes.

You didn't mention drinking beer, it's always good to watch someone working with a beer in hand.

This is great, 2 4" kit's installed this year. I'd better start dropping hints to my wife about it :wink:

With past experience with that 1 of 2 things happen. Either nothing gets done or something gets @$#% up. :-)r

I dont know about you guys but i cant drink and work on a car at the same time. I end up shooting the bullt instead of wrenching.

I have bigger tires than I should have right now, 30"s with only a 1/2 clevis lift, & they have plenty of tread still. When the time comes, I'd LIKE to go with 33"s on 16" wheels, but Marlin has told me 32"s are the biggest he suggests. We'll see what can be done!

I'll try to remember to take lots of photos. I usually get so wrapped up in the project, that I forget, but I'll do my best.

I got "lucky" several parts of my suspension went bad at the same time, making it an economically viable proposition. I've never been so happy to have so many things go wrong at the same time! :twisted:

That's awesome. I'm planning on being in Denver around March 8th through Easter, probably with the KJ. Maybe we'll get to talk or even go run things over.

So perhaps I should sabotage my KJ so it's in desperate need of a new lift kit :twisted:

Just tell her its got MUD in it Chris and you need NEW suspension..

WoodysKJ · **Posted:** Fri Dec 07, 2007 9:25 am

Getting ready to install my OME lift now. All the parts here, just NO TIME.

Wife asked "What do you need to work on the Liberty For?"

I said Because I want to. Told her i was getting the lift and she asked how much and i said not as much as you think...

Told her the shocks off my NEW 07 will go to replace the worn out ones on her 02 and save us a bunch of cash. She liked that rational.

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Fri Dec 07, 2007 4:04 pm

I still have stock shocks/struts/springs for that `07

While you've got "men of experience" under there, can you guys let me know what would have to be done to get 33" tires under there? :wink:
