Not level ground in the pic, but this is the way it sits pretty much on level ground.

You won't be disappointed!
Rockrawler lifts ride so nice on and offroad. Go with Bilstein shocks if you like them, they are great all around shock,
Oh and don't forget spring retainers these lifts flex like crazy, you could easily loose a spring on full flex..

You prob have to air down a little more,
Mine rides great.
Congrats.
You have any pics of yours?

The lift was rather easy to install at home. It took me a few days but that was not working on it straight through.

Here are some shots right out of the shoot. I do not have any bump stops installed, for now I am using the factory bumper as a bump stop

Once I get my LoD's and winch installed I will let it settle then re-check to determine what I need for b/stops.

The 3.5 kit lifted me 4.25" and like I said, I do not yet have any other weight.
Looks really nice! beers::))
