Thank you! I might pick these up "just in case". I read the instaltion istuctions and it had said something about this. I'll see if I can't get them shipped quick.
i want a new front bumper, winch plate, winch, rear bumper with tire carrier, sliders, ford 8.8, 4.88's, electric fan, tummy tuck (with all parts), and i'm sure theres a few things i'm forgetting lol.
A damn good list! I need the sliders, tummy tuck and maybe the gears. Im going 5.13 gears. I have Dana 44 front and back...so, the next step would be 35" tires unk:
I'm only going to run 33's (currently on 32's) which is why i'm gonna do the 4.88's...should be a nice daily driver/weekend offroader
I was planning on ordering my fan, front bumper, and winch at the beginning of last week but the guy doing my tattoo decided to flake out on me (after our trade work was done on my side) so i had to go to a shop and was quoted 1,000 to finish...so that ate up the jeep budget for a little bit
Definitely post pics when you've got the parts on...
Don't bother with the relocation brackets; if you're shocks hit, I'd just trim the spring perch a bit (or outboard, but I'm guessing that's more than you want to do right now).
Also, the rear trac bar relocation bracket from Currie is made for their trac bar with a Johnny Joint on one end, thus the bracket will be a bit too wide for the bushing in the stock trac bar. You could probably get away with using washers to take up the space, but I just wanted to give you a heads up for when you go to install it.
JJ's promote a better ride than rod ends and poly bushings. I've used RK arms and Currie arms (and built my own using Currie JJ's) and I'll take Currie all day long. The nicest riding rigs out there use Currie JJ's at all ends.
rubiblue thanks for the write up, you helped me make up my mind on the Currie/Savvy lift. I just called Gerald to place my order and he is out of town till the 24th, damn it! Going to try to be patient...
Some one mentioned shock extenders for the rear shocks... If they are a mono-tube style shock, you can run them inverted... or just trim the coil perch. Don't use extenders as they will probably rip the shock mount off.
