They got her finished up yesterday and damn it looks good. The ride is very nice. Its definitely firmer but by no means harsh. Ive only drove about 4 miles so far. It does have some scrub on the rear of the front wheel well at almost full turn. I thing removing the tiny factory mudflap and maybe trim a hair of plastic will solve that. I definitely need some step bars and I'm 6'7". I have them picked out already and will get them in the next week or so.20200328_093220.jpg 20200328_093245.jpg 20200328_093304.jpg 20200328_093231.jpg

What suspension components did you use? I see a remote reservoir on the front shocks and would like to know what you have. It looks great

It's the BDS 6" coilover lift which includes Fox 2.5" coilovers in the front,Fox 2.0 shocks in the rear as well as new rear springs. Fabtech makes a similar kit but you get a spacer and new control arm(I think) for the rear instead new springs. I got a damn good price, well worth the $50 more to get new springs plus BDS warranties the lift for life plus gives a 5 year/100k warranty on the drivetrain components that may be affected by the lift.
Wheels are 22x12 -44, tires are 35x12.5x22. 9.5" wheels are recommended for clearance. I went with 12" wide and it does rub a tad on full lock on the rear but some minor plastic trimming should solve it.

Looks great !!! Have you put the tape measure to it ? How much rake you got after the lift, and the overall height ? Will it slip into an 83" garage door ?

I added 1" to the rear w 3/4" more on the front coils. It would fit in my garage before and probably still will but with my golf cart tore apart, lifted and waiting on the body to be painted, I have no way of checking.
