If you are a DIYfer and are tackling this for your first time and maybe your first lift (like myself) please ask questions to myself of him. Their directions IMO are very vague but I feel the end result is a good quality product that you will be happy with. Netted 4.5" in the front and 4" in the rear.

90% = Front suspension and high steer kit is in but I have not installed the geometry relocation brackets. yes you can drive it without them but isn't the best driving experience. Due the procal, which was included, immediately to center wheel, because if you don't you will have the abs system going crazy until it finally turns itself off so you can drive. I haven't done the brackets as tomorrow I will receive the bolt kit from NR and didn't want to do some of the work twice. Especially at 125 ft/lb torque settings. I also did end up snapping one of the relocation bracket bolts because I wasn't too sure on torque specs and didn't know my own strengh. Help?

I also can't speek highly enough about the guys at NR. If your new to jeeping, as I am, it is very nice knowing that the guys that take your order have worked in the shop and know the products they sell and what it takes to get the job done. Not some guy just paid to place orders only off commission but can truly help after and during the sell and offer great advice.

Update on other things besides lift:
Drake hold downs and staun auto tire deflators come in tomorrow. Ordered TF HD tire carrier with the adjustable bracket as well. In stock at NR and shipped today. Also looking forward to the high lift rotopax adapter to follow shortly that has become available in the last 24 hrs. Next order of business will be side steps. Really leaning towards the LOD ones. Like the look and the step plate across the top as well. Seriously considering the 50" rigid light with brackets, which NR is offering a special on with brackets, but would like to see some more photos of. Im sure there are just need to use the search function a little more. Bushwacker flat fares, painted to match, and 37's will probably be a couple weeks out.

I also took lots of photos during the install and if you would like them please let me know. Pictures speak a thousand words and can share them with anyone who is interested.

Even with all the instructions off aev's website new and old ones and even including the other kits instructions. I only have the rear done and about 30% of the front and I can tell you that the resources from people on this forum will mean a lot attempting the install yourself.

Yes I did install the trackbar that came with the kit in the rear. I hope that was the right place for it. It isn't like the instructions tell you. It fit perfectly into the space and from reading everywhere I can't see where you ever unbolt the frame side front trackbar bolt.
