I put a Rock Krawler lift on the Wrangler. Got these poser flex shots. I wish I had a taller ramp. I still had plenty of flex left before hitting the bumpstops. I got to get this rig muddy, I'm having trail withdrawal.

Your loader can help you test your flex :) . This was my old cherokee with stock suspension and sway bar disconnects.

I've seen this done before. I need some bucket forks! My shots were pretty lame. Everythig is so flat around here. I don't even have a decent ditch! LOL. I wasen't even disconected in these shots. Nice Cherokee BTW.

JK's (07 and up) are simple to lift. I had a Teraflex 2.5in. Budget Boost which is just spacers above the factory coil springs (all 4 corners) and extended bump stops w longer shocks. The Rock Krawler lift is a 2.5in lift also (I got closer to 3in). This kit is taller coil springs w adj track bar to recenter your front axle. I can get much more flex w the new kit vs the spacer lift. You can lift a JK alone in about 4 hrs if it's a short arm lift. I'll be adding RK lower control arms next. They offer better clearance and allow you to dial in your castor because the length is adjustable like their track bars. Rock Krawler builds a nice lift and can be upgraded without having to buy another complete kit. http://rockkrawler.com/

Is that a Ford Excursion? I wanted one of these in a bad way back in 02 with a 7.3L Power Stroke.

Yes it is a 2005 Excursion..6"/8" Donahoe Racing lift kit...all springs no lift blocks..has about eight thin leaves in each spring pack, very progressive spring rate.
4:56 gears, ARB air locking differentials front and rear.
It will tow most anything with ease. I feel sorry for my dump trailer when I drag it up some of the terrain at the mountain property.
