Smile Pro comp 2.5" crt lift

I just installed my lift today...after waiting for over 3 weeks to get it.

The install went better then I expected....since I am not a mechanic, have limited amount of tools on hand, and I have never installed a lift kit before.

I installed the lift at home in my garage, total time was approx. 6.5 hrs.
I figured it would take me about 12 so I was really pleased.

I took me about 4 hrs. to do the front by myself, when my son got home from work
I was just starting the rear and we were done in about two.5 hrs.

I did save some install time by installing front JKS quick disconnects, and a JKS rear adj. track bar, so I didn't have to remove the sway bar and install all the extra brackets, all I had was 2 holes to drill for the aluminum bump stops.

I HAVE MORE PICS IN MY PROFILE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VIEW THEM.

Looks great. What was your final increase in height? I netted 4" on mine.
