Default Lift on!
I finished my lift this morning. Thanks goes to David @ Northridge for kindly answering all my questions. It went on pretty smoothly. I made 2 mistakes that made it a little harder but was still pretty easy to do solo. Mistake one was lifting the front under the pumpkin which didn't allow me to drop it down enough for the spring on the driver side. I had to use my jack from the jeep to lift the passenger side to allow for spring replacement. My other mistake was slipping off a bolt and smashing my elbow on something. I would say it took me about 4ish hours to complete. On to the pics....

stock day after I brought it home


@2 weeks with new shoes


@6 weeks with lift and wheel spacers

Looks good! Do you know what coils you went with? 619 front / 618 rear? Or 616 front / 617 rear? How much lift did you get?

It was 619/618 and I got 3.25 front and just shy of 3. rear
