well i just did my 4 door with digger spacers and i have done three of these now and for some reason on this one the back sits alot lower than the front. digger if you are out there can you help.  the first 2 pick's are with the front done and no spacers in the rear, the next 2 are with the spacers installed in the rear, i did not really notice a difference in height when i installed the rear spacers can you?
Maybe the coil springs are saggy ? What thickness coil spacer?

stock with 51k on vehicle.

plus if you look at before and after rear lift, i can't really tell a difference and for being 2inches i think it should be noticable.

but remember, you have a larger tire on in that pic, it's filling more wheelwell.
I know it's hard to judge from the pic, but it looks fine to me.

It rocked all day, he only got stuck once, got hung up on a big rock in a water hole, he was teatering on it, and needed a tug. The tires he bought are almost new, the PO didn't like them, he found them noisy.  :P

Not this one, but just another action shot ;)

Thats nice to know, I'm looking to body lift my 4door. This looks like just the right amount of lift for myself right now with my budget.

Is this something you plan on selling?

It is noticable to me. Hold a ruler up to each pic along the bottom of the rocker trim and look at the center of the rear wheel in each pic. You can see that the center of the rear wheel is definately lower in the after pic... Drive it around a little to get everything settled, then park it on a level surface and see if it doesn't look better. Double check by measuring the frame to ground and rocker to ground in front and rear...
Had a cool sig pic till I changed the text... sigh...

With the spacers installed the only thing that would prevent you getting the lift would be too short shocks.

i did not look at it that way, i was just looking at the difference in height from the top of my tire to the bottom of the lip of the fender. maybe with the smaller tires i had on my other one made it look alot more noticable.
