I'm not sure, it seems to be a trend with the hardcore offroad crowd to have the front higher than the rear. They call that "level". Um, no. I like the front rake look myself.
I'd like to know what transmission he used. That power will destroy the 545RFE.

He has a OME coil lift with his 4'' superlift which gives him about 5.5'' of lift i would say.
A little to much even thos his bumper and winch whey about 200lbs give or take.
Forgot to mention that his bumper really kills his approach angle and the only way to fix that is to jack the front like he did.

That really isn't bad for a lifted up Jeep like that. I think I know what I want now :D
I wonder the 1/4 on that thing but at the same time, I wouldn't want to go pass 80 in that thing.

I am 100% amazed that the dealership even looked at it after he hydrolocked the 5.7 let alone install a custom 6.1 swap like that.

Thank you!! I have been trying to tell people that for years and trying to figure out why people love procraps so much.
I have a saying about procomps.
If procomp made condoms, all women would get pregnant.

Anyway possible to get a list of your own lift specs... beside the stuff on your sig...
Would much appreciate it... Looking to build the same type of WK, and just love how yours look.

Best thing to do is go with a Superlift or BDS 4'' kit, it will cost you the same and you will likely keep your warranty with a kit.
As fun as it was building this thing, it was and still is stressful.

Hear, hear! The "leveled" look is too squatted in the rear. Then if you carry any cargo or tow something it just get worse. Factory rake is where it's at.

Ok, so, 3000 dollars worth of suspension, 20k dollar rig, EASILY 10k +++ dollar engine swap, and all of his pictures are in an apartment parking lot... hum... It always cracks me up when I see a new lexus or heavily modified vehicle, sports car, pulling into an apartment parking lot.
That said, I really dig it! Small penis syndrom i guess.

Wow looks great! but i gotta say, i used to love the ARB bumper, until i saw the S4XG. Now, the ARB just looks like a cenderblock compared to the S4XG. JMO.

awesome idea... i just dont see the point, i would have stuck with the 5.7 and put the extra money elsewhere. i def agree that those tires are the worst on the market, and the front being jacked up like it is- meh whatever works.
6.1 in something with a BB would be legit, would have redone the whole rig before i dropped a 6.1 in it- looks like ass
