John's 1" Lift

[paroxysym]

have you wheeled it any?

ever get settled measurements? hows th ehandling now with the stiffer springs?

[jjt250]

Yes I have, mostly mud though. Not a lot of rocks around here. I haven't gotten the measurements and honestly, I haven't thought much of it. I'm loving the stance right now. I have a buddy with an 05 4.7 Limited and my looks noticeably larger than his. Multiple people looked at his, then mine and asked if mines lifted and what all's changed. Looks awesome. As far as handling, I love it. Feels just right and balanced.

looking good bud, i see she doesnt squat in the rear when you tow.

any measurements?

[jjt250]

LOL you should've seen it about an hour later with 7000+ lbs attached to it. That trailer puts a lot of weight on the Jeep, even with a weight distributing hitch. I think all the pictures I've posted with the trailer were empty or like the ones above, at an angle. It handles it just fine though, never had a problem, even with 7000 lbs at 65 mph. I'll grab some measurements tonight for ya.

Anthracite grey plastidip (with gravel dust mixed in haha)







Love this color, it looks awesome. I was getting tired of matte black. I got the color from dipyourcar.com. Also changed out a couple glow plugs this weekend.

What else is different here...

Looking Good

looks good bud- you still running no rear spacer with the XK coils? or did you put the strut spacer in the front to level out with the rear spacer?

measurements?

such a subtle amount of lift makes a nice difference.

[jjt250]

Sorry for such a long wait, no rear spacer. I am running a front leveling spacer, but took out the rear spacer because I wanted a more level look. I guess I should update my signature. Measurements are just over 19.5 in the front and 20.5 in the rear, which is almost exactly an inch over stock for me.
