Default Lift ordered!!

Ok its "just" a 2" Full Traction econo lift but since I'm happy with my stock unl. X so far I'm sure it be plenty. Tomorrow is my birthday so this is my present I'm not ditching the stock wheels or tires (24S package...31" tires?) so hopefully it doesn't stupid

Might be putting a call out to you west MI locals for install help since I have never done anything like this myself before. Hoping to have it on and be able to test it out on the dunes when we go camping in July...or the earlier date if I can make that.

Its a very easy install, even for the mechanically challenged-just a basic set of tools is needed, along with a couple of jack stands and a floor jack. and if you're buying the beer, we're all there

Thanks guys! Actually did have a pretty lazy day today but I did wash the jeep! Can't wait for the lift to get here, I'll update when it comes in and see if anyone is interested in helping a newbie out and then maybe tooling around on some trails.

I ordered some RC wheel spacers today to go with the lift even though I'm not changing tires yet. Can't wait for this stuff to be delivered!

Well my kit came today and I was all excited until I took inventory and found it was missing the aluminum bump stops. I have already emailed Northridge letting them know and requesting the parts be sent over night...


IF the bump stops get here by the weekend as well as the wheel spacers anyone in west MI interested in helping a noob install? I'll buy lunch!

This has to be the 3rd lift in the last 3 weeks I have heard of not having all the parts. Who's taking inventory on these items?
