Today i finished getting the suspension parts onto my 88. Kinda glad ive peiced together the lift rather then buying a kit... turning out to be cheaper, and when i have a budget goal to build this jeep with to get it on the trail. It helps ALOT to find used but not abused parts! Thanks to thos who ive picked parts up off of!



So with out further a-do

Before i started in the rear i measured 18.5in from the bottom of the fender flare to the center of the wheel. I now measure 22.5in from mid wheel to bottom of flare. All in all about 4in!

I used Bastard pack leafs and shackles in the rear and i think (could be wrong) RE front coils with procomp spacer.

Almost to the trails! other then misc things ima need a Cataltyic converter, muffler, somg register, and tires! and im on the trails!

105.00

Still need some newer shocks and tires. The Shocks on it will do for now, but will need to replace soon.
