thanks!

 

good job looks good.

 

Man, your Screw is gonna be sweet!

 

I have not seen to many King Ranches lifted on here.... I cant wait to get it done and post in the KR forum..

 

Post it here also so we could check it out.

 

Well you are one of the first on here to be installing the kit yourself and you have sound experience. I find it odd how many praises came from those who had the kit installed by a shop, there is another side to every kit. I personally think the kit is a great design and would take it over my fabtech if it had a decent front crossmember. I installed my 6" fabtech on coilovers btw. I am annoyed with the cv angles and how little freedom or flexibility they leave me in raising the front end. Rize on the other hand can be made into a 10.5" kit with just a spacer. I'm sorry you are having problems I wish they designed it a little better for the installer, I definitely hear your frustrations ignore the haters.

 

Josiah,

The front lift is pretty stout. everything has support bars running to them, and I hope it holds up well..... I do only have one fear, and that it the steering drop. I am affraid of what will happen in a year oor two when the powdercoat wears off and it starts to rust up here in Michigan, but, we will only know that in time...

\If I would have done the front first, you would have seen me come in here with complaints about the back, but I am happy that i got the opinions of others with the kit, and could correct the problem my own way before I installed the front.

Now if bilstien would get me my 7100's for the rear........ and I could get out of some family stuff this weekend I would have it done... but it looks like it will be complete around Jan 18th...

I would recomend the Rize kit over any other i have looked at, BUT, no matter what stance you want, I would get a new leaf pack. the facoty ones are not able to stop the axle wrap. I am still waiting on my superlift traction bars just to make sure....

 

i have had my kit the longest of anyone here, the steering i can tell u is amazingly smooth, i have had mine since may 12 and it is still in mint like new condition.i have yet to grease the bearings.

 

My thoughts was how it would last a salty winter in Michigan... thats all... Mine will not get drove this winter, but if it does, I will gease that whole area well!

 

I took these today. The alignment is off bad, but i need to get the regearing done before I get to the shop....

 

A few more.....

 

interesting, your block looks bigger then mine. from what i was told i have not measured it but mine is a 5" block i wonder if rize changed the block size since i got mine.

 

Lets not get into the whole mine is bigger than yours thing.....

Seriously, mine measuered 6" exactly....

A 5" would be good with the spring pack also.....

I hooked my maclander with my Jeep on it to my truck yesterday, and its perfectly level when loaded. The front did not raise a bit.... I could not be happier.... I cannot imagine towing with the way it was meant to be set up... With just the block and factory spring...

 

if u look in my gallery i have a few pics of me towing my quads and my truck is level still but i have the factory block in still. eventually i am going to replace that with a new leaf pack.

 

My trailer an jeep with equipment are 6900 pounds....... it about 700 pounds tounge weight, probably more depending how forward the jeep is.... Thats a lot...

I need some road time on this to see how stiff it might be, but so far its good on the 4 miles I have oon it in front wheel drive...lol
