Welcome to the forum! The interior is looking fancy. I would hate to see you get some of the Badlands mud on those!

My radiator is working much better than the last time you saw it!

We're having a little problem with the air/oil seperator in the york compressor set up for the airock, but I took a lot of pics of the install along the way that I'll post up some time. We've played around with it a little, and it looks like at full up it gives about 6" of lift. Normal offroad and onroad height is adjustable, but the best thing for my parents is that when you shut the key off, it drops full down so they can get in and out easier. Its a pretty slick setup...now I just have to convince them that they won't hurt anything too bad over at the Badlands!

Well, we got it all installed and I've got to say, its pretty cool. Here are some pics of the post install testing in the river behind the house.




All up....about 6" of lift





Hard to tell but this is the normal offroad height...about a 3" lift but its adjustable

Typically, you won't have it raised to 6" unless you are high centered or something and you want to raise yourself off of it. If you run disco'd you will probably need a new front driveshaft to keep from tearing the boot. You don't have to worry about the rear driveshafts, control arms, trackbars, etc....because onroad the ride height lowers to around 2" above stock. Again, that is adjustable.

The ride is a little better than stock, but its still pretty firm. Dad thinks he might get some different shocks so its a little smoother ride.
