So what do you think the damage would be?? I have the FT econo lift which you know doesn't come with much so i'm not to worried about the shock but would be interested in the lift to upgrade mine... although i could use the springs and shocks and brake line brackets and basically have the 3" econo lift for my GF's new JK let me know on the price if it's right i'd gladly take off your hands.

I'm sure the arm is fine, it would be the joints that could have damage. The Heim looked fine, its the bushing at the frame I'm concerned with. Its what took all the force of the impact.

Let me get the lift off and check it out, its not a pretty lift any more, lots of scrapes and gouges on the arms, missing paint from wheeling, but after 26,000 miles it was still perfect, no noises or worn out bushings.

My jeep looks the same so I'm not to worried about looks as long as the mechanics are good...I'm sure you know what you're lookin at considerin you do it for a living. Take your time getting it off we're still recovering from the buy of her jeep so...just keep me in mind when you go to sell it i'm pretty interested.
