Then I picked up these on Craigslist for $400

Thats how the wife drove it for a few months... and she hated it, lol
so I traded in my truck, got her a new car, and the Jeep became mine..

SOOOooo

Went up another 2 inches

Now at 6"









Next up.. Long Arms!



Then I hope new wheels and tires!

The stock WJ tanks hang REAL low..
since I cant use my spare any more I cut out the spare tire well and moved the tank on up

Here are the pics of the gas tank lift..

Lifted it just over 10"

(sorry for the cell phone pics, I forgot my camera)
