It would certainly look like work in progress

Different shocks are setup to be mounted in different directions. The fronts can't be flipped due to the mount design, and the rears would required you to pull the upper bar pin and bushing out and swap with the bottom. I would just mount them the way they came setup to be mounted.

Yeah, I like a little room in the fenderswells personally. I just like that look. I think with 3.5-4" of lift 35s look good with stock fenders, and 37s with flats. But, we all know what opinions are like....

I gained over 4.5" of lift on my jeep with the kit (I have no additional weight).

You put 35s on yet or are you going to? Also any pics of it out on the trail or flexing?

I just put the lift on a few weekends ago and have basically been on vacation ever since. I haven't done anything but drive down the road with it.

I don't have tires yet, but plan on 35's.

Sounds good. How do you like it so far? I can't wait till mine ships. Ordered it 2/18 and still hasn't shipped. Ugh.

So far I like it, but like I said I haven't even driven with it much yet. Seems like a pretty beefy kit to me.

Parts and pieces of mine started showing up in less than one week. Had everything by just over a week.
