Finally got my ZJ done after many years of up grades.
Dynatrac front D44 Heavy duty larger rotors and calipers/ Rear ProRock D60, 5x5.5 bolt, high pinion reverse rotation with ARBs, 4.88 gears
Currie Currectlync Steering system & custom steering brace.(like it a lot)
Procomp MX6
Custom drive shaft
NP231 Transfer case (Why didn't I swap it earlier!)
Rubican Express Long Arm kit (had a few bad customer service experiences)with Acos, total 7~8" lift.
35"12.5"15" MTR (like my old Procomp Extreme Mud better) with Beadlock black steel wheels 3.75" back space.
Addco front & Currie AntiRock rear swaybars (Addco front bar need to be relocated forward to avoid binding to front springs, Addco rear sway bar will bind to the rear springs no matter what, trashed! switch to Antirock and it rocks).
ARB front bumper with winch, rear KOR Stealth bumper with tire carrier (powder coated)
KOR sliders & roof rack & transfer case skid
Projection head light and 6 additional Hellas (do I really need them???)
Fitch catalyst (sucks!)
KNN FIPK
Jet module & thermostate
EBC yellow stuff break pads (good stuff!)
Custom exhaust to adapt to the lift, Magnaflow cat converter
3 rows radiator with heavy duty fan clutch and hood louvers
4XD gas tank skid (high guality sh%t)

KOR rear bumper gives the rear a lot of clearance so we can move the rear suspension backwards more. Which clear the 35" without trimming & make the car more stable the freeway. ( Fully use the long arms at the rear)
The car now drives better, brakes a whole lot better, turns better (a lot lighter steering), doesn't wonder around on the freeway, make a lot less noise (except the new brake pads). And finally, "zero" vibration anywhere!!

I will try to get some pics on Wednesday (my day off), Have not off roaded yet. Will try soon after the Holidays. So far it drives much better on the freeway.

 

[rtingdds]

I got all the pics, but...how do I post them?

 

[rtingdds]

 

[rtingdds]

on the pics you can see the ProRock 60 (rear) does give more clearance than the D44 (Front)

 

[rtingdds]

It rides so smooth that feels like a BMW (almost, except the tire noise and minor vibration from the tires at bumpy freeway surface), all other clinck and noise are gone. Still have very minor binding at the rear driver side AntiRock sway bar that need to be adjust. Somehow all the new additions made all the cracking noise of the body went away for some reason.
the extensions on Acos were custom made.
That axles are customer made so brackets are already on them. I don't want to mention the cost again to avoid comments, they are very expansive indeed.
The rack is KOR, I like the rear KOR bumper very much too. But the rear Addco sway bar I got from them is a peice of junk. I have to get rid of it. Not good for lift ZJ, it always get caught in the rear spring. (so did the front Addco sway bar. We have to relocated forward 1 inch to avoid getting caught in the front springs)
The shop completely custom built out the exhaust system, the pipe curved around the long arm kit and custom shaft.

I just measured the ground clearances from the lowest points of the housing. The D44 has 10 1/8" clearance, the ProRock 60 actually has 10 7/8" clearance (a 3/4 inch more clearance). Too bad both Dynatrac & the shop do not recommend Prorock 60 for the front axle on ZJ. I would've love the extra 3/4" in front.

 

[rtingdds]

rear Prorock 60 axle with ARB ~$5000

 

[rtingdds]

BS...there's no such thing as a completely finished rig. Especially if you wheel it? But you don't, so maybe you are! :lol:

My bad! Don't mean to offend anyone!
I mean done to my standard, after so many years of playing around with many modifications, not anyone else standard.

I will be wheeling as soon as my wife stop being mad at me spending money on the Jeep!

 

[rtingdds]

Here are pics of the exhaust work, and 4 X Doctor gas tank armor (they sell them on their web, the best looking & solid tank protection as I know). I will try to post some pics of rear Currie AntiRock sway bar later!

Today. I am taking my car back to 4 X Doctor for the first 500 miles break in check up & tune.

 

[rtingdds]

Call 4 X Doctor at 818-845-2194 & talk to Mike about the AntiRock Sway Bar to see how he fit it. Stay away from Addco rear sway bar! Mike slightly bended the sway bar outwards to make it fit ZJ. If ProRock 60 can fit on mine then I could've got another 3/4" clearance, and saved $1000 on the front axle. Please don't let it be true.

 

[rtingdds]

Bro, your ZJ is basically what the goal was for mine! I love that KOR rear bumper I was going to get it but couldnt come up with the cash. Very nice man and I am totally in love with your ZJ, I wish to have enough money one day to afford 60's

RockZJ

Wow, that's too much compliment for me! I waited 10 years since I own the ZJ to do this. Finally I said the Fxxk with it and did it. I don't want to die one day without achieve one of my dream. Plus a good shop really helped. Mike at 4 x Doctor actually tried to talk me out of it. He was not sure if my ZJ could take all the goodies (he is a Wrangler guy). But I kept insist on my decision. it turn out surprisingly great at the mean time (until I trail test it)

More pics and
pics of Currie AntiRock rear sway bar

 

[rtingdds]

Thats so nice man! How much of a pain was that to do?

RockZJ

5 weeks in the shop, countless mounting and de-mounting of the suspension, wheels to get rid of interference. Custom making a lot of stuff.

 

[rtingdds]

My wife thought I was insane too! I could had bought a fully loaded brand new Rubican with extra money left.
But only you guys know the love to a Grand Cherokee. I believe a nicely lifted ZJ looks way better than a lift Rubican anytime. It looks way tougher. I spent a lot of time everyday simply looking at the car. It brings a smile to my heart.

 

[rtingdds]

Strangely, I felt that way sometimes.

 

[rtingdds]

Thanks to you all!
