RoadBully's 3" lift kit before and after.

[Phoenix99]

This is the 3 - 2.5" from RB (the max you can get.) on 225/75/16. Maybe some bigger tires and/or spacers would help but thats it for now. Both my rear coils were broken , so I replaced them while doing the lift.

Before:

After :

Thanks RB , I gotta say it's not that easy to install , not because of the product but because of the bolts , im in the rust belt big time and the rear strut bolts were a pain.

Looks good...I would say great, but instead I'm going to say "START SAVING!" for those tires and then I'll give you the for great. All of you guys are making me want to lift mine, but tires come first.

 

[jutgin]

Looks great man!

 

[RoadBully]

I got my rear spacers put on today. I have 2" on the front and the back now. I will get some pics up soon. I have 245s on it right now and they look pretty small. I am going to get some 265s soon though.

im proly going to be depressed after asking you this, how much did the total install price came out to be. (mine was 580 with tire installation)

 

[stsmoker]

looks sweet bro

 

[Phoenix99]

Thanks guys , 265's for winter here is overkill , narrower the better.

Does it sit level? Nose down (for this area) causes excessive rear bounce - our roads can make the rear catch air.

I paid $120 total to have them installed. That does not count the cost of the spacers. I have not put new tires on YET.

I started off with 2" up front only to level it. It was pretty close to level with the front a little higher. It did not look right to me though. I had lots of room around the front tires and not much around the back. I put 2" on the back and now I am back to the factory rake but the wheel wells look right now.

Yes its seems to be really level just by looking at it. But I got brand new rear springs too , maybe they with settle a bit..

Nada. Me and my friend did this in my garage , air tools are definatly req'ed. Took us about 6 hours with the installation of the rear springs with ultra cheap coil compressor tools.

The grip is awesome , had a little bit of ice that morning and they did well , I was afraid that since its not really a winter tire so to speak , that on ice it would be so-so. But they seem to hold up to date.

But they are noisy , I mean really noisy. But I was expecting it.

I ran roughrider M+S's on my old cherokee.
They did great really good in mud and in the winter.
Make sure to check crappy tire out on boxing day if you don't have them before then, I got mine buy 3 get the 4th free.

Yup I had a special buy one the second is half priced. (which is like buy 3 get one free). They are in special like once each 2-3 weeks.

BTW mine are LT's , we have a new law here about winter tires (mandatory) but it doesnt apply to LT's , so I went that way.

I got a good deal and I think you might have got ripped off. It is not that hard to install them if you know what you are doing and have the right tools. All they charged me for was one hour of labor each time. I shop there pretty often though so they probably gave me a good deal. They replaced my rear wheel bearings for me a while back and I have bought a couple sets of tires there and get all my oil changes done there along with tranmission services etc.

The only bad thing is they push GT Radials but I do not really want them. I am leaning towards some Coopers. I hate to go somewhere else though since they have been good to me.

If you didn't buy the tires there, $100 isn't outrageous for installation. Most shops will charge you mount/dismount (to cover labor costs of having to do it), balancing (to cover wear/tear on machines and labor), and if you got new valve stems installed (which I do on every new set of tires, or if I'm switching tires regularly about every 20K to 25K miles). With all of those costs per tire times by four...$100 is pretty close.

Ben, you just confused everybody in the states. Nobody (well most nobody) knows what boxing day is. I've spent some time overseas, so I have a good idea.
