Default Finished lift and boy are my arms tired!
I finally had a day free to install my Rancho 2" sport lift with front springs, rear spacers, and shocks. I had everything ready and all the tools needed and it still took me 10 hours. I never thought it would take that long. My dad even came over to help. There wasn't anything super difficult, just lots of bolts and elbow grease! Here are a few shots during the process. I'll post a few full shots in a little bit.

Looks good! Air tools are the answer, as you Modding disease has just started!

I'll go snap a few in a bit. When measuring, it actually lifted closer to 3". Maybe has to do with the 3.6 engine weighing less...

Yes, we said that quite a few times throughout the day. Would have given anything to have them about half way through..

The rs9000xl. They come with the kit and are adjustable. Hard to beat the whole kit for $350 shipped.

How long have you been running it? Any issues? Also, what did you set your shocks to for around town driving? Thanks!
