Looks great Fan! I have the same lift coming in a few days. How long did the install take you?

Also, in viewing a lot of pics of Jeeps with this lift it seems the lift height is greater on 2 doors vs 4 doors. Not sure if that's an optical illusion or what....did you happen to measure how much lift you got from the kit?

Thanks

frizzo,Funny thing about my choice, 3"Teraflex w/8 flex arms for a 4/door on a 2/door..I chose this (4 door) because it will support more weight. With heavy bumpers,winch,and a big spare tire this is why I went with a 4/door lift. It appears that this lift has around 4 1/2"- 5". I'll proabably end up replaceing f/r drive shafts.. It's a great lift, you will not regret your choice.

Ah, so it's the 4 door kit. I thought that was just stiffer springs but not necessarily taller. I guess I'll find out soon enough. It really came out nice, enjoy!

Very nice! The tire and wheel combo looks killer, and I really dig the stance with the stock flairs. So you say that is around 4-5" of lift? That typically will dwarf a 35" tire, but that looks really good with the stock flairs. MORE PICS!

I'm running the same lift but I bought the 2 door version. Didn't think about going 4 door to get the beefier springs, not a bad idea. Initially I was at almost 4in of lift but after a couple of weeks and some wheeling everything settled down to about 3.5in of lift. The install on this lift is really easy I was able to do it in my driveway with basic tools over the weekend, probably could have gotten it done quicker with a helper but I like to take time.
