This is my Tj with a 2.5 OME lift and shocks, leaving the 1.25 jks BL. I pulled the 4 inch rough country coils and shocks. I kept the adjustable control arms and installed jks adjustable track bars and the original pitman arm. The Inadequate bump stops are set right now.

I appreciate the help and patience from the members of this forum for my many questions. The jeep drives great and is a great improvement for these senior citizens to get in and out of. The view is much better without the hood mounted jack.

I don’t like those black wheels, but opportunity will knock.

Nicely done! IMHO a TJ looks perfect with a 2" lift and some 31" or 32" tires.

I love red too, my favorite color!

What size tires are those by the way?
 
Ron, you have it it looking great , and good moves on all that.

I have a full size spare also, and a Best Buy “hard wired “back up camera is worth every penny . The screen is in the mirror .

I’ve been to Arkansas ....boy was I glad to get back to the United States after that.😉


Just messing with you-

Good post, good job....we like what you have going on sir.

Respectfully,
Andy

Going off the title to this thread I though you had removed an angry bird grill hehe.

Love the simplicity of the TJ and you have it just right.(y)
 
Chris they are 33s. I have a 1.25 bl also. If I had a redo I would have adapted to Jk wheels an gone with duratracs in a lt 245/75/17.

How do you know it wasn't the shocks?
I don’t know which contributed more to the ride improvement, but the rc spring were much more rigid in the installation process. I ended up using a compressor on them and that was very hard work on an old guy.
 
Looks phenomenal and is confirming the direction I plan to go, thanks for sharing!
