Over the last week ive put new coil springs, new leaf springs, a wheel bearing, and new rotors. the coils surprisingly lifted the front about an inch and a half, the rear got lifted about 2 inches....yea the springs were worn.
The wheel bearing got rid of the annoying vibration above 50 mph, and the rotors were so beat.
also got my B.P.E.s on the rear, bout to weld the other. those bolts break all the time, 3 out of 4 broke.
looking for a budget boost with some front spacers and rear shackels.
fun times.

Got a roof rack with lights built in and hi-lift mount for 50 bucks! Still haven't had time to put the lift in, it has been waiting in my shop for over 6 months But the babies love going for rides on washed out service roads haha. Speaking of which, where can I ghet the best deal on a high-lift jack?

Added some rings to the front bumper of the Jeep so I could tie down the canoe when we put it on top of the vehicle.

Just make sure you change your oil and filter in another 200 miles or so.
