Looking at a rig in TN...Anyone recognize this lift? Any thoughts? Have a good contact in Chattanooga area that wouldn't mind doing a little inspection?

And if this would happen to come to fruition, I will need a set of factory rubicon fenders!

Looks good to me. That appears to possibly be a Rancho lift.

The price seems good too!

Thoughts on that lift?

Would that mount into all the factory points? For ex: No cutting/re-welding?

It appears they dropped the trans skid plate. Am I looking at that correctly?

Yes, that lift doesn't require any cutting / welding. It's a bolt on lift-kit.

That lift is perfect suited for on-road driving and some occasional off-road exploring.

I wouldn't use it if I was going to be building a serious off-road crawler, but I think that goes without saying. At that point I'd be using something with Johnny Joints for the control arms, outboard shocks, etc. In other words, a ton of money!
 
Looks pretty clean. Make sure to check around the TC drop spacer. Hard to see in the photo; there's a glare on the picture with that shot. Definitely worth a closer look and maybe a trip at that price and condition.
 
The lift is an ordinary bolt on kit. No value is added because of it.
 
Nice rig.. I like it to..better hurry I only bout 30 mins from there.. 😂😂. Jk
 
The rear lower control arms look like they are upside down, shouldn't the bend be up for more clearance? Don't know this lift, but other companies put the bend up. There is a pristine low mileage, one owner, Rubi for sale here in Newer Mexico for 15.5K, just sayin.

Right place at right time...It's fair game if you're interested! If not, Could I coerce you into taking a test drive/looking it over?

You mind sending a link?
 
Wow, that is a clean Rubi, seems a great deal according to the pics and Carfax. Wont last long.
 
Yeah that is a nice looking RLJ. At the price I wonder if the seller don't know what he has or something is off? I could see it easily going for 18+

Sales manager sent a note stating that someone was already looking it over, so I assumed it was you! haha.

If it doesn't sell, I may take you up on your offer. Just let me know what flavor of spirits you like best!
