I'll be asking $500 and here's what comes in the kit:

Front and rear 2.5" Teraflex coils ($454 on the Northridge4x4 site ---> http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...rod=TF-1853102 )
Front JKS trackbar (The bar itself is the second generation replacement and was never installed) ($144 on the Northridge4x4 site --->http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...rod=JKS-OGS121 )
Rear JKS trackbar (Another $144)
Front and rear Rubicon Express bumpstops ($40)
Rubicon Express monotube shocks from a 2" budget boost (Maybe $100 used, but $300 new?)
Rubicon Express rear sway bar links ($32)
I forgot to mention that I'll also have a set of black plastic fender flares for sale pretty soon too. One has some trail rash on it so I'll probably ask $100 for the four. I was going to try and chop them, but decided I would just stick with the full flares already on my jeep instead.
You could sell these parts in the blink of an eye if you'll post them up in the main For Sale section.

Where's the pics?

That's a good idea - negative battery cable, right?

Thanks for the info. I took a close look at the tread patterns, and they do seem to have more siping than most of the competitors. It looks like they're decently light as well. I think I'll order a set today.

well i think he is still under warranty, and the guys at the athens jeep store service center have been really, really good to me in the past with stuff, like mechanical stuff, but im afraid they'd be lost as last years easter eggs trying to trouble shoot a computer issue.....

im going to try the disconnect the battery idea....even i can do that, right? which one is negative?

Negative (-) is the large black battery cable. Positive (+) is the large red cable. DO NOT let the connector end of the black cable touch the connector end of the red cable.

By the way, you will lose your radio settings when you perform this "reboot", so if they're really important, note which stations are set on which buttons.

thanks much for the info i will try this when i get home. radio stations are easy to re-create, not many saved, do you think i will lose all the music i have loaded to the internal hard drive? some of that was loaned disks and i know i cant redo those....well either way it's just some music...more to come....

You would be fine...........I've got a chain........there sounds like enough people to pull you out of anything..........I've seen a stock Suzuki samurai no lift with street tires up there and a girl was driving . I think you should kick yourself in the butt for saying you don't have as much as a suzuki samurai..............just sayin..........It's a nice ride you would be sorry if you didn't go

On my BMW M3 I used to have, When I rebooted I took both battery cables off the battery then touched them together the (+) and (-) with them (not connected to the battery)..I don't know if it's the same for Jeep but I don't think it would hurt if the other didn't work, might be worth a try
