Ive had my KJ for almost 2 yrs now and I finally got it lifted, I went all out on my lift, I used OME HD coils all around, OME N132 Rear Shocks and Rancho RSX 17505 Front Struts, and to get a little extra I also did a 3 Ring Clevis and 1 Rear Upper Isolater, the result was 3" of lift front and rear, the install sucked though it was me and my dad first time for both of us to do anything like that it all was fine but the strut compressors were killer we did it all by hand, and we didnt finish in time so I had to call in sick for work

lookin good, im sure it drives a lot better now as well. What do you plan to do with the rear with the bumper off?

I'd go with one project at a time guy. Looks like you got enough on your plate with that front bumper/rear bumper etc.

How exactly did you fab your steel roof rails? Obviously just welding the feet mounts to steel tubing isn't hard, but how did you go about making the mounts?

ya it rides way better especially on the dirt roads

the front bumper is pretty much done, its missing 2 peices that I havent cut out yet but wont take any time to do

my rear bumper is off b/c Im fabbing up a rear one now, and finishing the roof rack, but all it needs is the floor

then when summer gets here Im bedling the lowers third of the body and the fender flares, bumpers and roof black, with the rest a dark green so Im not too worried about the rust itll be gone in a couple months

I PMed ya RespectMyLibertay

Looks good! I am waiting on my OME HD springs to upgrade mine. It takes a long time to get them.
