Should I take the Clevis lift off then. Would that help. Or is there anything else I can do

What setup did you go with?
Springs 790 I assume ? top plate? etc

790 ALS top plate 3/8ths Clevis lift took Clevis back to stock height now

the other side CV is at a better angle than gassers, so just shave one side and you'll be golden!

Sorry but what do you mean by shave it

Lifted pic of jeep. 790 and top plate in front. 948 in the rear no extra pads. Does it look like it sits level or do I need an extra iso in the rear

Looks to me like you could use another iso

Thanks I was kind of thinking the same

Personally and from experience I'd break it in good first before I started changing anything else, no use doing things twice

Yeah, I'd listen to tom, he is pretty knowledgable.

JBA sells some shaved ones, meaning you trim away some of the material so it can rotate at a larger angle...

this is a good idea for us CRDs

Well I buy and ship the NAPAs for 400 in orginal boxes so you can return the cores (ussually $168). Then if you ship me your mopars or NAPAs with return shipping it is 200. That gets you two CVs brand new cut and internally shaped for extra articulation with new heavy duty grease and heavy duty pipe bands. I am offering 2 CVs for the price of one JBA. I am currently torture testing the NAPAs since I managed to tear the boot putting it back in. So it went round trip through Pastafari, Vegas, Cali, then to South Carolina. I have since not repaired the boot and am trying to see how hard I can push it before it gives. But not signs yet and I wheel atleast once every two weeks.

If you want a set PM me or want some more information I am and open book.

you can see his thread on here also.

Looks good. Have any close up pics of the flares? What bedliner did you use?

I'll try to get some tommorow. It's restoleum bedliner in a can. It's available at Walmart foraround 7.50 a can. I love the stuff has just enough grit for me and it goes on easy and is pretty tuff for out of a can

I've been considering the same thing but the quotes I've gotten for the bumpers and fenders have all been $1400+ Don't really feel like spending that much

Check out the stuff I use and test spray on something. It's not real ruff like linex or anything if that's the texture you want

gtommec · **Posted:** Sun Oct 02, 2011 7:57 pm

What kinda prep did you do? my wife wants me to do this to her bumpers/flares but everytime i see a Sport that has the flares painted or bedlined it doesn't last...

vincennescrd · **Posted:** Sun Oct 02, 2011 8:26 pm

Cleaned real good with a surface prep from paint store til rag come out clean. Light sand with 2000 grit paper and then rub light with steel wool. And paint light coats until it's cover like you want. Took me about 2 hrs with about 5 min dry time between coats
