So far I have to say I love this ride it's so smooth, has all the bells and whistles and everything I could ever ask for so far until I want to build it into a stroker later on next year but for now it's great.

I just picked her up this evening and i've gotten a nice drive of tampa to orlando on her so I got a good feel for her.

Shes a first for me, i've never had a 4x4 but so far :) I love it.

Now for the pics and specs of course..

I can't say for sure and be positive haha since i'm new to the scene, but I can say I THINK it's not long-arm, but plenty of mods are in the near future.

Eyeballing the lower left rear wheel here (lower right portion of this photo), I'm willing to bet you're on short arms.

Welcome to Mallcrawlin dude. The next step I suggest you do is contact the previous owner and get all the specs if you haven't already. Sure...you mentioned 5" RE lift but that doesn't say a whole heck of a lot.

Short arms, and all in all i did not find mine rode hard. Might have been the OME shocks on it.


You should have 4.5" lift unless you have 1/2" pucks in there. RE does not make a 5" lift for the ZJ.

And like the ummmmm.....street tires???

Anyway it looks good......
