A bit anyway.
After installing the AEV front bumper on the wifes new JK, I figgure it's only a matter of time before the front end droops a bit.
Looking to pump it up some. Nothing radical, just an inch or two. Really don't want to get into new arms, springs, shocks and the likes. Was checking out Quadratec and came upon this.

Not real expansive, and doesn't look to hard to install.
Black Diamond has been around for quite a while. The first 3" lift I installed on my XJ back in 96 was a BD, and I was quite happy with it.
Any one familiar, or have any thoughts on this kit?

All of the spacer lifts are basically the same. With the extra weight on the front you still might need extra space up front to level things out. I suggest getting a couple skyjacker 3/4" spacers for the front coils....

I actually was wondering about something similar. I want to put on Shrockworks new bumper the extended? stubby that holds the factory fog lights with a Warn powerplant. I figured that extra weight would bog down the front end and wanted to know the best way to adjust for all of that extra weight and keep everything nice and even.
