Jeep JK 2.5" Lift Project

Did a quick one-day Jeep JK lift/wheels/tires job. Very nice. Check out the pics, then call to order yours :)

This customer pulls his JK behind his motor home, so he didn't want too tall of a lift. He also wanted to keep cost under control. He knew he wanted to run 33" tires and didn't want to go over 2.5" of lift. He requested the Skyjacker lift, which consists of springs, shocks, bump stops (front and rear), rear track bar bracket and a rear axle brace. We also added .75" Daystar spacers up front to help eliminate the JK's rake. Once lifted, we added 285/70R17 Mickey Thompson ATZ tires mounted on Dick Cepek DC-1 wheels. The kit went on easily and even with the 1/2 hour it took to put in the 48 trim bolts on the wheels, the job was still done in about six hours, including test drive. The Jeep drives very well and should do even better once it's aligned.
