Installed rc 2" lift with a 3/8" spacer up front and some 265/70's to ride around on for a little while!

Tires were too small for I did the SalXK front bumper mod, cut the pinch weld and mounted some 285/70/17 Nittos!

For lighting I went with some 8000k hid's in the front, led tail lights that I tinted, and blue led accent lighting!! I've since then blacked out my turn signals, tail lights, and 3rd brake light!

For performance I installed a K&N cold air intake, gibson cat-back exhaust, and tuned it with the superchip module!

Looking sweet oleblue! I like the tail lights. It sets it off nicely.
Wow man I LOVE that color! !! Very clean build too.
My stock radio stopped playing CDs so I may have to hit you up for head unit info one day (its loooow on my priority list because I dont play CDs often lol)
Nice build you got going here!
Thanks a lot guys! I am far from done lol. I ordered some 20x9 ultra gauntlet wheels, dba drilled and slotted rotors, and hawk pads that just got delivered! Just waiting on the money to get the ome lift and jba uca's so I can install everything along with some 275/60 nittos! Then ill be done for a little while and can start paying her off lol.
Nice build!

very nicely done Ole Blue
I need to start keeping track of my garage thread.. haha. Anyway, here are some goodies that arrived! I also got new brakes and pads, but only have a pic of them installed. They are EBC dimpled and Slotted rotors with Hawk Ceramic Pads.

I know everyone advises against it.. but i have decided to double stack my RC 2" lift on top of the OME HD 2" lift. I bought the shocks and rear coils thinking I was just going to run them and Matt's rear spacer, but in the middle of the install I ultimately decided in double stacking. I bought a set of used front OME springs from a member and just waiting on the arrival of the OME struts. These pics are current pics of my jeep with my new rims and TEMPORARY 275/60r20 Goodyears. Also it is double stacked in the rear with just the RC lift and a 3/8" spacer in the front!

You sure that rotor's on the correct side?
Edit: you should leave it like that... or do the OME + spacer in front (like im running). The stance will be about the same and work out OK. Those tires look small for a 33 though... are they bald?
The boxes were labeled front left, rear right etc. so I am hoping they are on the right side! This is the passenger side front. I am going to double stack though and run JBA's new UCA's and if it doesnt work ill do what your running. But the tires have about 35% tread left on them. They are bigger than the 285/70/17 nittos that I had.
I dont think those tires look small but if I recall correctly Kyle said they were used. I think his jeep sits a good inch or do higher than mine now
I'm a bit confused on your current setup...did you say you just installed the OME rear coils and kept your RC lift in there also for now? If so, it looks like you might have put the coils on the wrong side. One side is slightly longer to compensate for the gas tank. Looks good otherwise! I would also advise against stacking your RC lift and OME coils in the front. I would just do the OME coils with 1/2 inch spacer in the front.
His xk is 2wd and I believe he plans on HD UCA's. Also it looks like his driveway isn't level. It looks like it slopes towards the drivers side
Yes I am currently running the OME coils AND RC lift int he rear. I didnt know there was a difference in the coils? I thought they were the same. And I know double stacking is ill advised but I am going to run it anyway with JBA UCA's as I'm 2wd and I will hopefully be ordering the superlift by the end of the summer (if I can find one!) Ive talked to a couple guys that double stacked and xkcowboy did it for 2 years untill something went wrong. I will only be running it for a few months til I end up doing it right.
I have a few drinks in me so my memory may be screwy right now... but I recall the slots being oriented in the other direction. some install instructions got screwy due to the "drivers side" vs "passenger side" between US and EURO vehicles.
Basically... im too many drinks in to figure it out 100% right now, but not far enough gone to remember that those might be backwards. And yeah, i know where the front of your vehicle is based on the tie-rod :p
Well I cant see the vanes cause my rim is in the way haha. Oh well, I'm off work tomorrow so I will check to make sure they are right!
Hmm, I'll check on that tomorrow. But yes, I am going to double stack the front as well, I'm just waiting on my struts to arrive. I wont be installing until I get JBA Uca's though so I'll only have to get it aligned once. I either going to run 275/65/20 or 285/65/20. Depending on which one fits best haha.
I hope your rack last until you get a Superlift! Are you planning on wheeling it? Your front is gonna be pretty much maxed out. You should check out Omelet's build on JF. He ran a modified OME for awhile, also. As far as tires go, I'd just make sure it's something you'll wanna run when you get your Superlift so you don't have to buy a new set of tires then! Oh and you might want to consider getting a Firestone lifetime alignment. It's like $180~ and you can get as many alignments as you want at any Firestone for as long as you own the vehicle. Pretty good value if you ask me!
It might sound weird but I dont wheel my Jeep! I'm 19 and she is my daily driver. I have a fourwheeler for offroading lol. I'm real easy on her and dont drive like most teens. And like I said before I'm 2WD so I wont have to deal with some of the problems 4WD deal with. When I get my superlift Im going to run OME springs in the front with 6" coils in the rear so I will be going with bigger tires! It's very easy around where I live to sell used tires for good prices so I'm not worried about that. But I think I will do that lifetime alignment lol, thats a helluva deal!
Looking good
I tried to reply to your pm, but now your inbox is full lol. If your fine with using paypal, just pm me your paypal address and I can send you the money along with my address for shipping.
Okay well I am now officially double lifted!!! When I first installed I was using HD OME springs with a RC spacer in front. I forgot I still had the JBA 1/4" spacer in there so I gained a stupid amount of lift. Here are the results from that... (Not so pretty :()

I fixed everything by removing the 1/4" spacer, cutting a coil of the HD spring, and reseating the spring. This is how she is now! 39.25 to front fender, 38.5 in the back with 20% 275/60/20
Also keep in mind these pics are from as soon as the tires were mounted and they were on the ground. The distance between the spindle and spring has increased now and I still have to get it aligned.

Looks good man! Didnt respond to your texts I was driving went to pick a new project car.. Results look good keep updated on how the stacking lift goes..
Will do! I have a knock coming from the front driver side.. I'm bout to go check it out.. I'm hoping its just a loose bolt or my sway bar links or tir rods!
Anyone know what size sway bar bushings I need? 1.29 or 1.34? I have a 2006 4.7 2wd and not the right tools to measure it with lol.
I have to agree, those are some crazy angles!
I'm not positive but if I had to guess, I'd say the bigger of the two because you have an XK. I've also heard that the SRT and the XK share the same swaybar. Hope someone knows what size for sure though...
I'm gona go to the dealer to get them. Worst comes to worst ill order the bigger ones!
I hope I'm good for a while though at least this summer. I don't take it offroad.
