| | Nope its a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a two inch lift on it, I think. I think my youngin' got himself a project he is not ready for. I wanted to tell him no on the spacers because if he went 2" inches more the front and rear links pull the axels forward? I think he just needs to start over with a new kit so he can keep the 33s. The only problem is that all the shops that install lifts around here want to rip you off and dont know what they are doing. | |

| sorry i have yet to get your prices.
he could do it...but i wouldnt Unless he has adjustable front links, its going to (1) bow the spring, (2) decrease caster, (3) pull the axle backwards in the wheel well
if his links are adjustable, then do it | |

| | The links look to be a rancho setup, so no adjustable. Jesse, next week would be fine, he does not come back to work till Tuesday. All I can say is this thing is rough, real rough. I would not have paid what he did for it. | |

| | oh and also mention, i dont know what his "kit" came with, but the more angle the control arms are at, the more bumps he is going to feel in the road and the steering wheel, and less ability he will have to climb ny object, as well as sacrifice droop | |
