I love this lift kit. No problems other than the aforementioned DS issue, which is slight and only at extreme articulation.

don't forget that if you plan on steel bumpers, added skids, and maybe a winch, you'll need the coils to carry the added weight without sagging.

for the small difference in price, I felt it was better to do this once and have the longer, HD coils. Just my $.02

Adam what is that background music in the first minute or so of your video?
I had a vid with music loaded but YouTube yanked it for copywrite issues. When can I use my own music? These were from my CD's.

I still have the original version on my PC which featured Talking Heads, from Naked album. It's 100M. If anyone wants it, tell me where to post so we can share the file. Or I'll burn it for you Seth.

Pics and vids of LIOR's trip to MaBell in MA. A great day, minor damage only to Evan's CJ. He flopped it on it's side and popped a u-joint cap. Went to Harbor Freight for goodies and eneded the day at Jacobies for a steak dinner. All in all, a great day.
