Haha, I love how Jeep owners never call their Jeep a "car." Even when referring to a Jeep in Korean, you say "Jeep car" instead of just car.

I'm in Canukistan though. Gotta get shipped from the states to the shop I'm buying it through then out to me. I'm hoping for less than a week but it might be longer if it gets held up in customs.

Hoping too do his install tonight and I just want to clarify on the Pitman arm and track bar bracket. Am I reusing the stock ones or removing completely?

good choice on the 3.5 - i have the 2.5 coil lift and find it a tad on the short side.
prob add the spacers eventually or just go straight 3.5

With the Adj trackbar. Use the stock pitman arm thats already on the Jeep. Dont use the trackbar relocation bracket. So pretty much just replace the stockt trackbar with the adj one and leave it at that (dont forget to adjust trackbar)

I would also suggest swapping out the 14mm stock trackbar bolts for grade 8, 3" long, fine thread, 9/16" bolts. Use either a stover locknut or a split lock washer on the back side and a grade 8 flat washer on the bolt head side.

Also! When installing the lift. Do NOT tighten the control arms or trackbar until the jeep is sitting on all 4 wheels (so not on jack stands). Shake the jeep back and forth to settle everything, Then tighten the trackbar and control arm bolts
