Rhino Rubicon Unlimited Build

[Vanv39]

Flip kit is almost done, I just need to drill the new hole, but I am waiting on the drill bit to arrive. Also removed all of the rear suspension.

Finally received my Evo 4 inch lift today. Got the front pretty much put together. Have to cut the rear track bar bracket tomorrow and then I should be able to complete the rear suspension.

Lift is on. Here are a few pictures of me tackling the rest of the suspension. This Jeep is HUGE! Well, at least for me it is coming from a stock Rubicon. Will get some good photos of it this weekend.

Hole drilled for drag link.

Drag link is flipped. Still need to put the steering stabilizer in its new location.

Rear Track bar mount cut. Surprised my dremel was able to do this.

Looking good! I had that same feeling with the garage height after doing my lift.

Nothing like having to air down to get in and out of the garage......

Looks great.

Nice job on your lift install. I'm also really surprised your Dremel did that cut too. Was it melting after the cut?

Give a look at your front steering linkage on the drivers side. I had a clearance issue with the swaybar bracket catching the tie rod on a full left turn. I had to massage the bracket with a grinder.

Can't wait to see it all finished up!

Nope! Granted I did use about 4 discs.

It seems mine is rubbing at full turn to the right. I will check it out later, but here is mine straight on.

Finally got around to snapping some decent pictures but it was snowing pretty good this morning. Really happy with how the Jeep has turned out. Still need to get the alignment dialed in and my passenger side tire was rubbing the control arm, but a washer on the steering stop fixed that!
