So Shannon finally gave in and allowed me to lift my jeep. I've always wanted to do this ever since I bought the jeep almost 2 years ago. So when I graduated from USU this past December Shannon gave me a card that said she would allow me to lift my jeep. I know I probably could have done it before, but knowing that I have to live with her, I really didn't want to live with the consequences of having a mad wife. I think most men would agree with me on that point. I put a 2inch spacer lift, which increases my suspension. I also installed new shocks as the shocks that were on the jeep were the original shocks. It's a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and when I purchased ths jeep it only had 42k miles on it. It now has 77k. Not bad for a 10 year old jeep. The original shocks were rusted out and made for a very stiff ride. Now after driving the jeep for the past 4 days with the new shocks, it rides so much smoother. It runs great and we love it. Were glad that there is plenty of room for a carseat and all of shannon and the baby's stuff. I've done my fair share of offroading and now with my 2 extra inches I will be able to do more. I've only ever been stuck twice but now I'm looking forward to trying those two spots again.
I have a few pics of the process. When I finished it was dark and I didn't have a good pic. So when I take a pic with good light we will update the pictures.
