Finally lifted!!!

So the lift is basically the Toytec Ultimate lift without the rear lift. (just the rear TSB springs) All other components of the Ultimate lift are installed.

Also installed the Light Racing UCA's and 265/70/17 Cooper Discoverer STT's on stock wheels.

The alignment is set at +2.2 caster 0 camber 0 toe per TOKU58's write up on alignment. Thanks TOKU!!


Pre lift. rear TSB



On my buddies lift. Boy did that make things easier!!


Cutting the UCA bolts. Only $26 for the pair and no bending of the fender wells!!


Front coilovers installed


Post lift. Stock tires

very nice

 

Lucky SOB

Looks great!!!

 

those tires are dope.

 

very clean looking
i like it

 

sweet, i am going to do mine in a week or 2. that is a trip how you did those bolts, on the uca. i am going to do that. what size and length are they, i will go ahead and buy them.

 

I cant remember. i just called the dealer and asked for the UCA thru bolts. they didnt have them in stock but they got em in like 3 hours!

i read about doing it that way on this site. i cant compare it to bending the fender and messing with the battery box but i would definately suggest it. one thing you have to do on the driver side is take out the 2 bolts that mount the brake lines the the inner fender. then the brake lines easily move around.

Remember that you are butting the bolt in the opposite way that it comes stock. I used red thread locker on the nut just as an isurance policy.

 

This lift is in your friends garage at his house???!!!

You really are a lucky SOB!! That would be sweet! I would be able to work on my vehicle myself again if I had a setup like this (bad back).

Cheers.

 

congrats bro...looking really good...

but I wish I had me a lift inside my garage...hell I wish I owned a house that was able to have a lift in the garage...

 

Looks great. I don't get it. I have my caster set at 2.4 and the tires sit further back than yours. There is no way I could fit the mud flaps. How did you manage to do that on yours? My camber and toe are 0 too. I have 1.75" of lift.

 

I'm waiting on my shocks to come in. Mine will look like yours; I can't wait!
I like your tires .. will put them on my short list

May I ask how much the tires were?

 

Looks great man! I can't wait to get some new tires on mine. Looks ok from the side, but from the frount... not great since the dunlops are kinda narrow.

 

okay, i am going that route. thanks for the info. your truck looks sick.

 

yea, he has a 3 car garage. the single bay is just this lift. he's a crazy jeep guy. put a hemi in his rubicon in his own garage.

 

Bitching!!!!!

 

whats your set up? tires, wheels, after market UCA's?

 

treaddepot.com had them the cheapest. ($206.50 shipped each) local firestone dealer matched that price. also took off $64 for the tax difference. (tax in colorado none on the net). lifetime alignment $140. other bullshit all added up to $1,087 out the door.

 

any wider and you will probably have to get aftermarket wheels or spacers. i wanted to keep stock wheels and wanted to keep/use the mud flaps.

 

265/70/17 tires with 17x8.5 wheels and 4.5" back spacing. Total Chaos UCAs too.

 

If I am going to put a lift similar to the one in the picture up above I would want a taller ceiling that way I can walk underneath the vehicle rather than squatting down to look at anything under the vehicle.
