How are you liking the lift? Mine is in the floor of the living room now. Waiting on front shocks to ship.

It's all good! I do have a strange rattle up front might be the quick discos.
It tracks great and is almost as good as stock.
The only downside is its very stiff/solid!
I don't have anything to compare it to but I would have to give it a thumbs up!

This rattle you speak of, obviously you're hearing it in the cabin when driving...? Just some food for thought, but if your quick discos have a "loose playing" cotter pin for em, that could be the cause. Mine would be rattling all over the place. I just bumped up the diameter size on the cotter pin and no more rattle...

You might have to lengthen the wires.

Just cut the wires near the plugs and splice some wire in to extend them, then shrink wrap to waterproof them. Very easy. I did the same with my Expedition One bumper

Yup. I have the Mopar bumper and pretty much once you move the lights outside the crush can / frame area you're going to have lengthen the stock wiring.

Looks good!

You DON'T have to cut the wires. Look under neat the front of the vehicle and follow the wires from the fog lights back to the frame rail. You will see a plastic wire loom. Open up the loom and you can split the wires further back giving you more length. Then just add new wire loom to protect the wires.

You do not need to splcie or cut, just un-tape the plastic tube cover around the center cross member and pull out the slack. I ahve this bumper and did not cut the wires.
