I cant believe the diffrence those spacers made, you still got them?

Hey Echojeff,

Yeah, I actually kept the 2" spacers on the truck, so it has both the 2" TJ spacers, and the Calmini 3" kit on it.   

You can find those TJ spacers on Ebay from time to time....They're not terribly expensive.  If you do decide to get them, you'll need to use a hole saw and bore the center of the spacer out to 2 1/4".   There are some companies that make spacers that are already predrilled to fit over the zuk bumpstops.

Do you have a picture of your CV angles with all that lift??  It seems that that would be very extreme..

Have you considered removing the body lift??  I think it looks much better in the middle picture to be honest.. the last picture it is just too high for my taste.. whaddya mean you didn't build it for me!!!  lol  JK...

Hi Quaddawg,

Don't have any pics of the CV's yet....The angles initially on the CV's were little more than I would ideally like to have, but after driving it for a few weeks now on the road, the suspension is settling in, and the angles are being reduced...  I'm not too concerned with the CVs, since a friend of mine is running a 2 door with a similar setup, but with 33's, locked both ends like me, and has had no problems.   I'm ready to replace a CV when one/both goes out.   Nature of the beast I guess.... 

Yeah, it's a bit tall at the moment (large gap in wheel wells).  My objective is to fit some 34 Ltbs in there without too much trimming.   I have to save up some more pennies before I can splurge on the bigger tires though.... I'll keep the body lift on, so that my trimming is minimal.

Hey Biker, what size of tires are those? They look about the rigth size : )
what do you run for the front axle?

Not really before, but more like during...  I forgot to take pics before all the body work...  O well.

Those are 9/34-16 TSL's, they fit good and no rubbing issues. I'm still running the stock aluminum front but only because they want to rape me for the steel one up here

Just always looking for a better deal.....yes I am cheap.  I am with Quaddawg on the lift, but I understand that 34's would make it look better.   But that means, $ for tires, then comes loss of power, so you need gearing or MORE POWER....  it just keeps going and going...

I spent a good money  on my new LT235's, and I am not ready to lift it a lot and make it look like it needs a bigger tire.  I thought your rig looked good with the 2" spacer with not overdoing it for that tire size.  I noticed your 95 4door has different headrests than mine.  Must be the diffrence between the JX and the JLX.  My seats are OK, but I would like somthing different.  Even though I have lost some weight, my butt was tired before the end of the last trail ride. 
Would the extra 2" change the center of gravity enough to where it is that noticeable?  Would you need wheel spacers to counteract the change?

exterior paint done today, need to spray the red interior parts black tomorw. turned out o.k i think.

I think zukiworld might just beat out the bow flex for infomecial potential.  Look at all of the muscle and good looks these zuks have gained after there owners spent less than six week browsing through zukiworld.   

I'm digging the bedliner

Thanks a lot!  I just noticed I put the coil spacers in the mod list, but I'm pretty sure they weren't on in these pics.  It's a little taller and more level now.  I'll have to take some new pics.  The bedliner has since faded to a flat finish, but I'm gonna recoat it sometime this summer.  I have a few spots with pink showing through.  I think when I do it, I'm gonna get the UV Protectant to spray over it so it won't fade, hopefully...  Guess we'll see.  I've also got a brush guard that's waiting to go on.

you used herculiner right? I used it on my lights and brush guard/bumper and it fades really fast. what I recoated my brush guard a few times. I have UV protectanted the thing allot and finally realized that spraying it with gloss black spray paint was a good idea. looks almost as good as freshly applied herculiner and when it does scuff off it's not very noticeable and it's easy to touch up. I'd do that but if you have a few paint spots showing probably recoat it then paint over it and it will be a really nice coating on it.

I was noticing that it didn't look like the spacers were in but it still looks cool in those pics.

keep up the good work my friend

Did you use the Herculiner UV Protectant that's actually Herculiner brand?  I was told it worked...  Hmmm, maybe not.  I dunno, I don't mind the flat look, but after looking at these pics again, it definitely looks "cleaner" when it's new and a little shinier...  Yeah, my trucklet was pink, so I put 3 coats on it.  I think if I scuff it with a wire brush and slather on a really thick coat it'll be good to go.  The spots just started showing through in the last 6 months or so.  I need to take a couple more pics now that the spacers are in, though I may wait till I get the brushguard welded up and put on.  Got any fairly close pics of your bumper/brushguard done in Herculiner???
