Got the Fuel pump in Finally and got it lifted 2.5" in the front only rear is stock and for some pics...

What it looked like when i got it



Then with the 2.5"



Looks like it was left in the wrong part of town..



and now with the 33's on it!



i flexed it out pretty good the front tires catch the trailing arm when fully turned and the rear hits the Fenders when you are on a 16" hill with the back tire and opposite front tire but not until

idea!!!!!


don't know why this popped in my head when looking at it, but leave the woodgrain strip and spray paint the top and bottom leafy camo. i think it would look pretty slick.

so was the fuel pump what was causing the issues????

Pull the lower control arms off a WJ (99+ Grand), they have an S-bend and eliminate some of the tire rub. Did you pull off your rear sway? Also, you'll get butt loads more flex disconnecting the pesky front sway bar when wheeling it.

I thought bout the Camo idea still may do it but gonna see how it does first Performance before Looks lol, and yea Fuel pump was causing it, cold start had 30psi at 15 it was down to 25 and when reved it droped to 0psi so new pump and Filter and its running good again
