These pictures show about 50% of what this suspension is capable of. I don't have anything big enough at the house to really flex this truck out. When I first got the suspension on, and it was running good, I took it to my dad's warehouse and used a forklift to flex it out. If I can find the picture I will upload it but to give you an idea, I was able to put the bottom of the front or back tire to a height a little bit above my waist. It could have gone more but I hadn't cut the fenders out yet. The Good: Rusty's 4.5" lift with new spring packs not just the add a leaf, Rusty's shocks, Rusty's steering stabalizer. 16 x 8 Cragar Soft 8's w/ 31" TSL Super Swampers. Brand new two core radiator, water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt, plugs, plug wires, distributor, cap, rotor, power steering pump, starter. I put newer door handles all the way around and greased them back up, new rear hatch shocks, new wipers. I just put a new headliner in it. Everything listed above is less than five months old. It also has Dana 30 and 35 axles in it.

I think it might be the heater core but again I don't have the want to fix it, too many other projects at the time. Someone once said it might be the headgasket but the truck only smokes very little when you first start it up, after a minute or two it stops and doesn't smoke anymore. The jeep fires up everytime if started everyday, if it sits for more than four or five days, it wants to give you a hassle trying to start it. It needs an alignment and new rear wheel cylinders. To anyone who wants this, you need to bring a trailer because it will not run for more than ten minutes without overheating. Any questions, email me or give me a call anytime. I am also looking to trade for a small extended cab truck but I am open to other trades. Shoot me an offer.
