Looks like a great family/trail rig! What is the brand name on the steering shock sticker? Might help narrow down the lift mfg?

The brand on the steering stabilizer is Rocksport. Which when I searched is Metalcloak. There is quite a bit of Metalcloak on it.

I believe this is all the stuff it has....so it leads me to believe Metalcloak lift...but all Metalcloak arms are gold zinc....these are not.

Looking at the pic of the lower front arm and shock relocation bracket, I'm trying to find one online that has that little bolt/bracket (not sure what it is for) The closest one I have is from an Icon Vehicle Dynamics...but those are fixed control arms, while the ones on the Stingray have adjustable ends on the frame side

 

[Pike2350]

From doing a little more research and finding some engraved numbers on the rear upper control arms. CE-9807Rxx. Some searching and now I believe it is this kit.

Both trac bars have the adjustable end..so they appear to be upgraded...where as the Sport Edition only upgrades the front.

1 unknown solved I believe. Anyone have any experience with these lifts/arms?

 

[N-Smooth]

I have a guy that knows about pretty much every kit you can imagine since he does that stuff for a living. Make sure not to ask him for advice and then disregard it though cause he hates that.

Cough @Agility Customs cough

Make sure not to ask him for advice and then disregard it though cause he hates that.

I refer to people who do that as askholes.

Took it out on it's maiden voyage (to me).

My wife , 6yr old had no plans today so we removed the front doors and headed out to check out fall colors and hit Forest Lake not realizing that AF canyon was closed part way up the dirt road. We went up only to turn around. We ended up heading along the Alpine Loop and taking Cascade Springs over to Midway. We got lost up in the mountains not knowing where we were going we just followed dirt roads wherever we could...eventually making it back to pavement and headed over to Soldier Hollow and home. Never had to put it in 4wd and was on street pressure the whole time....but still a good day fir it's first time out for me.

My wife loved the doors off and really enjoyed the ride of the Jeep...pretty smooth overall. I didn't get any pics but my wife took a few.

The aluminum doors are SO much easier to handle and remove verses JK doors! Sounds like a fun day out. 😎
