Default NEW LIFT Skyjacker 2.5+3/4"

I Installed my new lift last night. It is the Skyjacker 2.5 with the skyjacker 3/4" up front. I have MT classic II and 35 x 12.5x 17 Cooper STT that will be here thursday so i will re post pictures then but here are some for now.
















My only probelm with the install was this right here maybe yall can help me out and try to figure a way to solve it if it needs to be solved?? i have drove it for about 20 miles at 70 mph, 40 mph, and 80 mph, everything seems great but this did worry me a little bit what should i do if anything??

This is the drivers side


And this is the passangers side

That looks nice, the Coopers should really set it off. Read this thread, it should help you with the spring/swaybar issue.

Thanks for the help so i guess an adjustable track bar and an alignment will fix my problem.

That looks really nice. I have been contemplating that setup as well, and I think you just sold me on it. The extra 3/4" in front does a lot for me. I have a bit too much rake up front as it is, and the winch isn't even in yet. Can't wait to see after the tires are on.

Yes you can The ride is a lot better than stock. I ran the FT 2" bb for a while and i have the Mforces that ride was good but now with the SJ springs, i kept the mforces, I really like the feel. You do have to watch the TURNS though, you can tell your center of gravity has moved upward.

Wow, stupid on one hand, but that's pretty good though that they let you borrow those on the other.
