Its probably closer to 3.5 based on the last time I saw her.

Hard to tell how much lift Ive got overall, with the steel front bumper and winch, and the stock rear bumper.
When we get BB and JG side by side, JG should be 1 inch taller..... we'll see.
By the same reasoning, BB should be 5 inches taller than Sweet Pea. (stock tires unlifted) We will have to measure that too.
We'll definitely pick a common location on the frame and figure out the differences. My narrower wheel may give me another quarter inch as well.Originally Posted by JeepLab
Where's the review here?
You've had those 3 links in for a few days now... First thoughts?
I always hate my truck when I make a big change. I hope you are not in the post change depression...LOL
At some point with a truck like Black Betty that is a tasteful blend of street and trail, You have to be carefull not to go too far to trail, as she lives in the street.
I too have experienced issues right after changes, and then i wind up loving the changes.
This one is a little different I geared during this change, and the axles are leaking, so im not in my fun "lets wheel it" zone.
She is a little more trail than before, but still good in the street.
Once i solve the axle problems, Ill be able to tell you better.
Here are some shots!
The RK boys had to cut and grind the hell out of the underside of black betty. Heres how it looked.
As you can tell, Im back from Rock Krawler,
The 3 link front and 3 link rear are in, It was windy on the way home, and I had a truck full of take off parts.
So it was a little squirrely, but I think that was the wind pushing me around on the highway.
The gears are new, so I was babying them, so I cant really give a review on the overall change in ride quality.
It should be softer than before, but really, I just walked in the door and cant speak to it.
Ive got to get the gears broken in so I can beat on it a little.
