Nice, what brackets did you get?. Mine says tomorrow also, but I think the bolt kit is coming Tuesday. They shipped from 2 different locations. Would I be crazy to install the lift then put the bolts in a week later?

I have the 2.5 and brackets but haven't got around to installing the brackets since I'm going Metalcloak control arms.

Either way, you guys will love it. Rides like a sports car on the highway. Good performance on the trails also. Can't beat the triple-rated springs.

Beaker541 are you in PA?

I live at the Jersey Shore about 70 miles from Philadelphia so its 1 day delivery from Qtec for me also, but I ordered from somewhere else because they didn't have 2 of the other parts I wanted. I actually got the Rancho brackets from even another place. They advertised the cheapest price so they got my business. Price matching is nice and all but that requires extra work and a phone call I didn't have time for.

yes i am about 20 Min north of Pittsburgh.. they did drop some "over sized shipping" charge they had on it to price match for me .. still had to pay tax though .. I like to order from the same company and i have been ordering from them for years.. hopefully i will get to put it on next saturday..

Some one told me not to use the boot on the shocks.. they said if you take them off it will make the shocks last longer because dirt wont get trapped in there.. Is this true? or should i keep them on ?

I have mine on as well as tons of other people. If the mfg or aev didn't want them on they wouldn't be.
