I've been reading up about it. Pretty easy on a GC and not even that expensive either.

I wont be doing it this year. Gonna keep it fairly stock as I like the 20mpg and smooth ride. I definately like the Jeep more than that Ranger I had.

I am not a fan of lifting anything. Usually lose gas milage, and unless you get bigger tires, you are not giving any more clearance as you still have the axles that remain at the same height. Plus with a vehical that already is know for roll-overs, you are now increasing your chance by lifting your central gravity.

My opinion, leave it or lower it and put some nice 26's on there for summer.

Last time I checked I was white ...... the'll be no 26s on my vehicles especially a truck.

Those lifted Jeeps look sick!

i like the black nerf bars on the jeeps, like the one for sale out on Hwy10 KittyKorner from Target. the black bent nerf bars under the doors. those look nice IMO.

I think I'd be scared shitless to drive something like that and be at those angles...

Have you taken a ride in a lifted 4X4? OMG can you say rough. Now let's talk about how they drive. Scarey :shock:

Unless you are extreme off roading every day then I'd keep Pepe' at stock ride height.

20mpg. I gotta throw the B.S. flag here.

We averaged 19.6mgp on our way to Vegas at 85+mph.

From Door County to Madison we pulled 20.5mpg. In town we only get 16mpg because we both like the AWD launches.

That must be nice... major offroading vehicle and all the luxory amenities that those come with. the leather, the great interior, the inside storage in the back, and enough room for 3 friends!! not a bad ride
