Man this was a doozy. Will do a write up about it in my thread... After I sleep lol. I’m also going to have a little install video soonish - also I’ll have some better pics. But let me tell you, this thing eats!

BTW, anyone know of a good alignment shop in the Bay Area? I live in Menlo Park for reference. Any ideas would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Man that thing must wander all over the place with the difference in track width from front to rear.

What are you going to do with fenders (I can already see your fenders bending)? Any plans on a custom rear axle?

Think you are the first 3.5" LT kit. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

It’s actually super solid! Minus a pull due to no alignment. As far as fenders go, I’m gonna leave these. They’re a little bent, since we chopped them all the way around and rolled them in, but I’m used to the chopped fender look. And I kinda like the raggedy look :)

Eventually I’ll do the rear axle but for now focusing on the rear suspension. It’s a dream ride in the front and no bueno in the back.
 
Any updates on this? Any issues you’ve ran into or is it still mobbin’!!?? Also interested to see what rear suspension you are running?
 
You do not screw around do you? That's one hell of a lift!
I'm afraid that I'd need to be single before I dropped that kind of cash on a lift. :)

Give us more specs and please do a review on the handling after the mods!
What specs will you have the shop align it to? I'm guessing you did a quick eyeball alignment to get it rolling? My approach is to eyeball front to rear with a bit of toe in to get started.

Even so, traction control will probably go nuts the minute you start driving it. On jeeps and BMWs I've been able to tweak it enough to avoid making it trigger. I suggest doing that before you drive to the alignment shop. It usually takes a few tries, but most of the time it's the steering wheel angle that's the key. (I probably care more than most since the alignment shops are all 20+ miles away from my house.)

If you aren't used to eyeballing, a pair of jack stands with string between them can help alot, just set them before/after the wheels and use it as a guide to get the wheels close to a baseline.

Nice work!
