John's 1" Lift

Those actually look legit. They fill the wheel wells out nicely. I think with a 1/4" spacer or 1" 245/75s will fit, but I stand corrected thinking those would look too small. Nice job dude!

Very nice dude!

Thanks Matt and thank you for all the advise, I am extremely happy with my decision!

Thanks man! Yes, I'm definitely happy I decided on the 245/70s. I would say you for sure need at least a 1/4" spacer to clear the bolt with 245/75s. The aggressive thread really helps fill out the wheel wells.

I did a lot driving with these on the road yesterday and I'm already used to the noise. It doesn't bother me at all and it's really not that loud. You mostly hear it at low speeds, it seems. The ride is great, too. I can't wait to get these off road. I will post updates along the way...

So damn jealous I haven't done all this yet haha. Can't wait to hear more feedback. Those are load E correct? Any other suspension mods in the future? Swaybars? Any luck finding XK hemi coils?

Yep they're load range E. I have to complaints with the ride at 35 PSI. I'm still looking for Hemi XK coils, but I might stop at a U-pull it junkyard place tomorrow and see if I can find a wrecked one. I'm kinda tempted to just buy some new ones from Kolak, though. I'm also probably going to add another 1/4" spacer up front and maybe another 1/2" spacer in the rear. After that, I think I'm good for awhile. If I start wheeling some more, I'll probably sell my rear Bilstein shocks and get the longer replacement ones. I love the way it rides right now though! Probably no swaybars for awhile unless I find a wrecked SRT8 by chance.

Thanks a lot man! Love your XK by the way, very well done and clean.

just get a budget boost at that rate LOL

Haha it's too late now! I like the stiffer ride of XK coils too....not too stiff, but just enough. I don't mind tearing it back down either, I'm learning more about my Jeep and it's fun! Who knows what I'll do...

so youre roughly going for a 1-1.5" lift? cause youre already roughly 1" over stock correct?
