I had these pictures buried somewhere on my computer and can't find the site anymore where I got them from. I'll keep searching and when I'll find the site, I'll post it here.

Those are some good pictures...It actually looks pretty good too. Do you have any info/specs to go with those? I'm curious to know how much of a lift they did, and what parts were used....labor time ect. Also what year those baja's were since they raised the stock baja about an inch between '03 and '04. Did they use bigger tires with the raised baja. Anyway, if you happen to know the answers it would be cool to know...Thanks for those pics.

I'm still searching for the site where I got those pictures from. If I remember correctly, they are 03 Bajas and the lift did not change anything in the drive train. Tires were a size or so bigger, but I'm not sure. As soon as I have found the site (if it still excists), I will let everyone know.

I think that's the place where I first saw these pictures, but it doesn't seem to be on their website anymore.

It is an 03' Baja it was raised about 4in. it has 18 inch rims I have never gotten an answer bout how long it took them to install the lift or the labor cost I do know that they sell the 2in body lift for $799 (thats what I am thinking about getting) and it was $390 for the springs but when the springs are used on the 04' Baja and above it only give like a .5in raise so I put 05' springs on my 03' and it gave me 1.5in lift and was cheaper.

baja03, did the 05 springs effect the way your Baja handles?

No they didn't effect the handling at all the 05 springs have a bigger coil diameter and are stiffer.

It was probably a Scorpion Lift, Renick used to carry them but the link appears to be gone now. I installed one on my 05 baja last summer (a lot of work doing it alone) even with the lift I will be hard pressed to get a tire larger than 28" under it without scuffing the area by the mud flaps. I plan on replacing my current tires (215/60 - 16s) this summer with an AT 215/70R 16 and hope for the best.
