Well, after running around with the TT and shackles for about a year+ I decided to do the lift right. I have 4.56s so I decided to go for 35s. Here is a pic to check out. It is my two favorite things...my daughter, Haley, and the Exploder! Haley is 57" tall for comparison:

Just a comparison to my Dad's stock Cherokee...or I should say No comparison?

Hell... yes! :D Looks great!
 






Looks great! Good job !!
 


















wow.. nice.. how much lift do you have?
 






Remind me never to park near you. You'll make mine look lowered!! :(

Looks great nontheless. I can't wait to see it around town and in person!!
 






Thanks guys!

I did the SOA on the rear. I had 4 door leaves with an add-a-leaf and it was way too high. I removed the add-a-leafs which brought it down about 2" and then raised the Superlift up to about a 5". The rear is still 1" higher than the front, but it looks fine.

I welded on the perches to tilt the pinion up and it seems to be ok. I was getting pretty good gas mileage with the 33s...maybe I need some 4.88s now!
 






Don't forget to change your signature!

I'm getting the 3" taller spindles and longer Torsion bolts. After SOAing the rear, I thought I'd be looking for 33s, but I think now I wanna look for 35s and some nerf steps!
Looks killer!

fabulous looking truck, nice job.
 






That thing is huge! :eek: You must scare a lot of Civics when you come up too close on their rear view mirror.
 












That is a AWESOME looking X! Congrats on making one of the finest looking X's on this site. I'll be using your X as an example of how I want mine to look in a year!
 






HOLY COOL BATMAN! that is really sweet, nice job :thumbsup:
 






That makes me want to lift mine...
 






Hartman, with all your body mods it would look sweet up in the air. Do it........ :eek:
 






karl_burns- Don't forget that there is a 3" body lift on there too...you'll need it to clear 35s. My total lift is about 8" front and 9" rear. I trimmed the inside rear of the front fender which rubbed at full turn.
 






WOW!!! That jeep looks like a micro machine!! Your hood is up to his roof. Very nice truck...
 






This is a pic of my brother's Silverado with a 4" Rancho and 33"s. It's a sharp truck that rides like a Caddy.
