    JeepinbyAl Lift installed..





    Eibach Spring custom wound

    Fox 2.5 Piggyback Reservoir shocks (Front)

    Bilstien 7100 Reservoir shocks (Rear)

    JBA UCA and double discos.

    Rear droop is limited by the gas tank shield, but it was notched so the rear lower control arm hit the sheild just before is would contact the tank itself

    Center to fender. (I know these number are up for debate, lol)
    Front: 21-1/2"
    Rear 21-5/8

    Some things i mentioned in another place... but might as well ask them here...

    1) Is JBA going to offer those Fox Coilovers separately? They'd be a nice replacement for the stock struts + spacers used in the SL kit.

    2) I'd love to see some detailed pictures of the front end angles (control arms, tie rods CV's) at normal ride height and at full suspension drop.

    3) Whats the eye-to-eye full compressed and extended lengths of the 7100s for the rear?

    4) And one more i just thought of... whats the full compressed and extended lengths of the Fox coilovers?

    I believe it was determined that this kit was only 2-3" and they had to get different springs for 4". That's why it really doesn't look that tall.

    They changed up the springs to get the extra height, but never updated this thread. Figured now would be a good time to get some details.

    Although remember, this "kit" is not a true suspension lift. It does nothing to retain OEM geometry for the CVs, lower balljoint, and tie rods.

    No lift will retain OEM geometry. (if you want OEM geometry leave it stock, lol).

    here are the latest pics. Front is 4.125 over stock and the rear is 3.2. These are CRD specs so the initial height was lower.

    A true suspension lift will indeed keep the tie rod, CV angles, and balljoint angles at the OEM angles. (Though there has been a question whether the superlift drops the diff a full 4"... if it only drops the diff 3" then that would be like a 1" spacer on a stock truck in terms of CV angles).

    On that note, have any pics of those front end angles with the kit set at 4"?

    Also curious how much more down travel there is from that ride height?

    Just to nit pick, there is a difference between OEM angle and OEM geometry.

    Lol OK.

    Just to nitpick. An angle is a geometric measurement. So yes, you are changing the geometry at which the suspension is functioning at normal ride height. But that's just semantics right? Everyone knows what we're talking about.
