Default Superlift Marathon=Tired but Happy

Finally, started at 2pm Sat on my SL 4in, finished around 7am Sun . I did the lift by myself and I have to say a big thanks to WOL for the write-ups he has done. They filled alot of the blank spots I got when reading the SL instructions. Here it is, The 35's look kinda small now

Gotta re-gear before I go 37's, of course 36 in IROCS wouldn't be outta the question I have 4.10's. I'm debating right now wether to get new 17 in rims for the 35's or go with 16 in rims and get the tires at a better price. But I tell you I've had more stares at my jeep today than I've had in the past month. I got complemented on the jeep at the supermarket, the post office, and my business today plus untold amount of stares at red lights and from a couple other 4-drs. That lift is AWESOME!

Yeah I just started on the rear when she took that pic! I'm going to buy me an air rachet! The front took so long because of the damn spring compressors fine thread (compressing,uncompressing the old ones , compressing ,uncompressing the new ones ARRGHH) then when the back ones fell out , I was relieved, but the damn little brake line re-locaters gave me fits! Coulda been all the beer I drank too The bales of hay in my garage looked mighty inviting but I stuck it out! Thanks for the compliments guys, nuthin better than doin it yourself
