Congratulations! Its a sweet kit.

Here's WOL's write up if you haven't seen it.

Not sure what tires you're going to run... but based on my experience if you didn't order with your set up I'd highly recommend some TF front and rear bumpstops (and longer links for the back while you're at it!). If you add the front bumpstops when doing the lift initially you'll avoid having to drop out the coils again.

On a similar front, if you're going to add a heavy bumper/winch combo, add a front spacer now as well.

Enjoy!

I'm running 35x12.5 nitto trail grapplers now... The bumpstops from the bb would work fine for now right?and I got longer discos for the rear also... That's what your talking about right?

I think you could have made your own extenders for $5.00 each or something.

yup - those bumpstops will do it.

as for the rear I'm talking about the sway bar links. I just wanted to make sure in addition to the quick discos for the front that you mentioned that you also have longer rear links. Sounds like David @ NR set you up.

You're going to enjoy it.

Spray some PB Blaster on the bolts the night before. The track bars are no fun and the control arms are on mighty tight. Don't forget to re-center your steering wheel when you're done.

Haven't got a chance to look at the write up all the way through... Does it have a rough measurement for the CA's eye to eye? Fine tuning tips?
