Moved on up...to the East Side...To the DEEElux Suspension Lift in the Sky-hiiiiiiiii.
The weather held out this past weekend (NOT). So I threw a quick tent over top and went at it. Nothing like welding brackets with water dripping on you to really get your heart pumping, or is that hyper-palpitating?
I've got a newfound respect for underwater welders now.
Anyhow, the Superlift Kit went in without too much trouble (although the top of the front shocks is a heck of an ordeal to get them to tighten up with no stabilizer nut to hold the piston still).
So far, she rides great and looks ridiculous (read: awesome).
Now I've got to finish the wiring on the 7-pin and brake controller so we can take the pop-up out this weekend and do some light wheeling. Here's a few during and post-lift shots. More to come after this weekend.

I have always like a black vehicle, but I am too damn lazy to keep one clean.

AEV recommends 5-100 miles to seat the tire before having the wheels balanced, so I waited a few days after mounting them. When I was going to take them in for balancing I found no vibration so I left them alone. Zero balancing, zero problems. These have been on about 8 wheeling trips and maybe 600 highway miles.

Well, after almost 2 years of being on these boards I'm FINALLY In!! 
It looks even bigger in person! My wife told me it was "obscene", so I know I hit it out of the park 
4" Teraflex

Still running my stock Rubicon 4:10s and Dana 44s.

Now she loves to drive it, that is when I let her.

Unfortunately, so am I. I had a black TJ, a Black F250 with a black fiberglass Toneau cover, and now my JK.... I hate washing them but love the way they look when they're clean so I just "grin and bear it". The waxing part is really the part that sucks so they don't get a coat all that often.

Now here's the really ironic part: That pic you just posted is the pic I found on here the exact day I was ordering my wheels and tires. I was going to go with other wheels, the 4" Superlift that I got anyways and some 35's. I saw that Jeep though and said "Awww skeet skeet skeet skeet" (pardon the "profanity" if you get it) and decided right then and there that I was going with 37's on Addicts.
When I first put them on, she said "what the eff, you said same size." But now she's asking me to borrow it to run to the store instead of her Pacifica. We'll probably end up trading that in on another JK and have "his and hers".
Now THAT would be the shizzle.
