Stock or not??? (decisions decisions)

[94XJ2door5speed]

Ok so this is a mungrel lift i ever saw one my question is are these leaf packs stock or not? my stock ones actually are bent the other way and it is right at 17" from bottom of flare to center of wheel and these have blocks and shackles attached to the stock shackles making a sort of "tera flex joint" Its tall its on 36" TSL's now and the front is well just as bad here are the pics...
Here is the wierd setup

Here you can count the leaves in the pack

So the front is wierd it has lift coils and 3" spacers with aftermarket lower control arms, t-case drop, and quick disco's. The unfortunate thing is that the trac-bar is stock!!! so the wheel stick 8" out of the drivers side. But I don't know what the total lift is or how much it is net. I was wondering thought mainly if the rear pack was stock or not?

As you can see the arms are way to short but i have never seen them bent this way and i don't know who manufacture's them. It seems to me like the first lift was done correctly and then hacked when it exchanged hands through the next 3 owners before me.

good lord, double the shackles for double the flex. the track bar situation looks awful too.

[94XJ2door5speed]

Yup will be all redone but can you believe the guy wheeled it like this for almost 3 years with stock drivetrain and all?! No gearing down or trimming or lockers? No SYE and that awfull trac bar?

[dave92cherokee]

The leaf packs look stock but the rest of it looks like some retard got his hands on it and butchered what could have been pretty nice. Would be best to start from scratch for the lift and redo everything correctly instead of the rigged up way they've done it.

[94XJ2door5speed]

So any ideas on the maker of the original "good" stuff like the lower arms, disco's, front coils, t-case drop, sway bar drop brackets?

discos look like JKS quick discos..


the rest looks like turds!


look at the coil spring angle...

you need to remove:

botched to XXXX revolver shackles
shitty trackbar and drop bracket
swaybar drop brackets (you have adj discos, why do you need drop brackets?)
D35 rear end

that poor thing.

[Randeezy868]

I think we need more pictures...and I don't mean of the Jeep...only if she's legal. :roflmao:

[94XJ2door5speed]

Yeah that is my gorgeous girlfriend. She likes the new Jeep, likes them about as much as me and reads all my JP mags and what not. She was pointing all the bad stuff out with me. O and buy the way she is legal we are both 20.

that's amazing, i would be afraid to move it around the yard with stuff looking like that, nevermind wheel it for 3 years!! glad to see its finally in the hands of someone who has plans to make things right!

[94XJ2door5speed]
