Well, if it's at the MnG, I'll throw in a 2x4... I haven't done a lift in a few years, but still remember how. I'd go with a total of 2 isolators in the rear to start with - adjust from there.

No work on others we don't work on yours.
Its all about learning and sharing
Someday they too will want a lift installed :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

just like a certain owner has been asking me about what parts to buy etc for his lift and wanting install help, what he doesn't know yet is I need some rack lights wired up, fair trade maybe :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Who dat? :wink: You still cruising with poser lights? :lol:

Tom, I was talking about Chris... :wink: :lol: ( even though he was the one who brought the cookies)

Matt, those Moabs, were they the set of 5 posted in Milford from Craigslist? I've seen a couple different sets of Jeep wheels on there I wouldn't mind having.
If I help, I'm doing the rear....my fingers got tore up on Chris' front end last time. Then of course I turned the upper plate the wrong way and had to redo it. :x

ok. I will get an extra set of rear iso's on order, and locate some conduit nuts.

Tom. Not a big fan of the forward rake on 4x4's- on street cars it is a must. Where are the dents located on your KJ? Just give me a general location- I won't be able to bring all my tools, but I can find some room for a few select pieces.

TAHOE. No, I got this set of wheels and tires from a guy up in Xenia, OH. They are in good shape, 70% tread left on the MT/R's. No bends (had them checked today) Some slight curb marks, not a big deal- they will get alot worse than that on the trail.

Everyone Else. Thanks for the help and input!

p!nK

Hey Matt

dents are in the right rear door about 8.25 inches down from the window and from 11 to 16 inches from the front edge of the door, is that a general enough area :wink:

If you can't find conduit nuts I have 12 out in the garage that I can bring

I think I can visualize that... I know what tools to bring now.

I am guessing that they are just common door dings? not huge trail rash or anything.

I will try and find my own nuts, not a big fan of having another mans nuts on my jeep 8)

When I had my office in downtown Toledo where I had to park there was one person who "HAD TO " park next to me every day , and thats where the dents came from. You know the type 500 car lot 3 cars in the lot and they park next to you and 16 inches away, problem is their butt is 36 inches wide!!~!

and yep its a glorified mall crawler :shock: never been off road except for that time I pulled over in the grass :shock: .......but in a few more weeks , well stayed tuned

you would be surprised at the stories I have heard about how certain dents got in cars... believe it or not- I have fixed three cars with hood dents, all caused by owl strikes (yes, a car driving down the road hit an owl in flight) THREE CARS. Man, I have been doing this too long.

back on topic somewhat. I ordered the taraflex bumpstops from JBA- I am guessing that $22 is for the pair. the title was using singular language while description was using plural. we will see. I also ordered two more rear iso's. Need to pick up some conduits. Should have everything well before the 15th and ready for installation.
