Lifted Pictures

I would like to see some of your guys/gals CJ’s with lift kits 2 1/2” to 4” , before and after photos. It would be informative also as to what you have and why.
I haven’t seen a post regarding this directly if there is feel free to delete.

 

Give me until after the holidays. I currently have the factory springs/shackles and have just bought BDS 2.5" lift. I will take before and after.

 

Can’t wait to see it. I just bought the same kit because it was on sale and I have heard good things about it.It’s going to be quite a while until my Jeep is ready for it. I have the 1 1/2 inch lift that superlift used to make on my CJ3b.

 

I dont have a before picture handy but here is a pic of my ‘70 with the BDS 2.5” lift and 31x10.50x15 tires

 

Dale, do the BDS spring packs come with caster shims??

 

Nope. I just put two and a half inch BDS lift on my Jeep last summer I believe, and a ride like a dream. No Caster shims though

 

Same here. No shims. And they do have a nice ride.

 

Looks great Dale.

 

That is g g g gorgeous paint color!

 

I should clarify, they didn't come with shims, but I bought them because I needed them.

 

cj6 before (both with 34")

with 4" YJ springs


CJ5 before

with 4" and 33" tires

 

Hi Jeepstar, wondering what shims you used and where you got them

 

They were 6° shims from Warrior products.

 

Before lift.


After 4" spring lift and a bunch of other stuff.

 

Looks good

 

I have been trying for a good hour to post a pic. File too large it says. As indicated, I am optimized for analog... Please advise.

 

Anyhow, what I was going to say is that old Madeline wheels pretty decent with pretty old 2.5" rancho springs and 32" tsl tires. Tire noise is not an issue as she has 5.38 gears and rarely leaves the hood here.

 

any help with pics would be appreciated, sorry Bill for hi jacking, Cheers!

 

No problem. Everyone’s input is helpful.
