Installed Pro Comp 2.5" lift (resulted in 4.25" lift), Olympic A/T Sliders, Olympic Defender rear bumper, JKS Quicker Disconnects, Midland 75-822 CB.
Got over 4" of lift from 2.5" lift kit. Great bang for buck. Winch had to wait as they didn't know before that they needed an optional winch box for the existing Olympic BOA bumper. I'll get some photos tomorrow when we get up to the mountains.

Got some photos this weekend. Sorry I didn't get her cleaned up first.
Looking forward to playing with the Superchips programmer this week and getting room in the garage for the top so I can install the TrekTop.

Disregard. I just learned that the winch isolator is designed to fit with a minimum 8 3/4 inch roller width. Mine is 8 1/4". Time to customize.

Just though I'd share the finished products - pardon the quality of the pics...night shots 
I know it recommends to separate the ball joints and to remove the lower control arm, but we decided that by utilizing stitch welding techniques plus having several wet towels around and going back and forth between the driver and passenger side alternating would allow us to not overheat the effected areas. I hit em up with a couple coats or primer then slapped on some black Rustoleum hammer rattle can paint...And here is the results...needless to say I'm very pleased with the results
