Got some of the new lift installed.

[VICTORG93307]

So started on Friday night/Thursday morning. Did the the shocks was not too bad of a job. On Saturday pretty much got stuff together tools and such for the next part which where the springs. Thanks dad for loaning me your cordless impact wrench it was a life saver. Got the springs done in about 4 hours that spring compressor was totally needed after the springs i started on the Currie heavy duty drag link but I didnt get the tool for the joints and only one came off the one off the pitman arm was stuck and didnt budge even after beating it to death with a hammer. Got the tool today and out she went with two hits of the hammer. This drag link is an effen beast compared to the stock one and once i get a bracket for the track bar its flippable. So after those mods went in I gained a lil over 1 1/4 in ch in the rear and gained 1 3/4 inches in the front compared to the Skyjacker lift i had before. The Skyjacker lifts springs where way to soft and sagged with all the weight from the front and rear bumpers it was more like a 2 1/2 to 3 inch lift at most. Sometime this week i will start on the full teraflex monster arms just gotta clean them up and start prepping my garage for the mess. Also gotta call up teraflex and ask them what the arms should be adjusted to in order to fix the pinion angles and such. Well here are some pics from all the pandemonium. By the way home owners association i can work on my Jeep whenever i feel like it even if its 4 in the morning.

That looks good.

what lift is it??? looks good victor but needs more chrome

Looks good Victor.... but keeping in line with Pete's suggestion of chrome, a couple of Brama Bull stickers on the doors would go a long way to completing the look. Something like these:

Then to complete the look, one of these on the back windows (all three):

Or.... even better might be one of these, but then again, your H2 isn't quite a Jeep, now is it?

Its teraflex. I just haven't installed the adjustable arms yet.

[VICTORG93307]

Yes I'm going with chrome bull stickers all around.

Now your tires look tiny.

Damn it I know. Maybe go with true 35" tires when these wear out. What did you use to instal the arms on yours? Tool wise I mean.

[abendx]

35s will look small..... 37s!

ta hell with it 54" boggers

In the future yeah. I would have to do a ton on work on that lil Dana 35 to handle 37. It rides hell of smooth on the road now with those shocks. Any idea on what bracket to get for the trackbar in order to flip the currie drag link? Also need a relocating kit for the steering stabilizer too. I'll end up getting the fox stabilizer to match the rest of shocks mine is shot to shit again. Any ideas would be appreciated. Also will need longer brake lines.

[chuckanut105]

dana 35 try again its a dirty 30 my friend. I have one too and its the weak link of the jeep.

My bad I meant 30. And I got all the added weight of a 4 door.

No bracket is required to flip the drag link (assuming yours can run flipped?).

I have an adjustable track bar but from what ive been reading is in order to flip the drag link which you can on the Currie you have to lower the track bar mounting point the one on the frame part. Not sure if thats correct or not. Id have to tap onto the knuckle and put a shim on the lower part to make up for the flush mount hole. Enlighten me Brad with your wise advice.

Is your Jeep driving really bad? If not, don't worry about flipping the drag link (I have never done it and have had a few "experts" advise me against it). It didn't look like your steering geometry was that bad to me, and if anything, it looked like you could use an axle side track bar mount to make it parallel with the drag link. IMO, a drag link flip would make your steering geometry worse. If you want to stop by, Ill put my angle finder on it for you and you'll know for certain what needs to be done.

In the rear, you should raise your shock mounts up. Looks like you have more than enough shock to do this (I ordered those shocks to work with a 1.5" mount lift). People really seem to like the EVO Rockstars. This will prolong the life of your shocks in the rocks and you with get hung-up less on the trail.

Your next project should be ditching or beefing up the 30.

Ditch the bitch it aint worth fixing it up. Ask Brad about his $10000 d44.

Dana 30's rule..! Extra clearance! Lol

They also sell the brackets separately.

Ive heard nothing but good things about the high steer kit, but to me I dont see the purpose considering I have 30k miles on the jeep without one, with a 4" lift. One reason I would do it is just to flip the tie rod for a little more clearance.

Might try running without a SS first, Ive been without one for 6months now and I really cant tell the difference. If you need one just buy the 4wp procomp one for like $30. Its plenty beefy and is cheap to replace. I bent 2 of those on rocks so have ended up just leaving it off

Flipping your DL (drag link) will not allow you to flip your TR (tie rod). No one has figured this out yet.... if you want more clearance for your TR, the only current option is to either go with Reid Knuckles or do a Currie RJ60.

Flipping your DL will correct the steering angles. The TR and TB (track bar) need to be running in the same plane. If not, you will get bump steer and other nasties. I would say 3.5+ inches of lift needs a flipped DL to get these angles right. You could live without the flipped DL, but why? (** I have a TeraFlex DL flip kit if you are interested that I will let go cheap).

To stop bending/destroying SS (steering stabilizers), buy a relo kit from Woods. 20 or 30 bucks and you'll get that sucker up and out of the way.
