Judging from the third picture in post #3 and the pictures from Quadratec's website, I'm declaring that this here is a Skyjacker 2.5" Standard Lift Kit (Quadratec item 16117.100X (http://www.quadratec.com/products/16117_100X_PG.htm). Look at this picture and compare it to the third picture in post #3. Look at the rear track bar bracket and tell me that's not the same part. Go ahead, I dare ya, I double-dare ya!

Yup! That's it. Read the installation instructions on the Quadratec site too.

It looks like you need to get yourself some longer front swaybar links. The arm of the swaybar should be just about parallel to the frame rail. I believe the one you have on there is the OEM link.

Awwww, shucks
. I've been helped many times by others here. Just paying it forward.And I agree with dcharge74's assessment those sway bar end links are tooooooo short. Gotta get yourself some JKS Quicker Disco's. I have them on my rig and love them.

OK, now stop. I saw that too from the Skyjacker lift picture but didn't say anything. It looks like whoever put the lift in didn't install the bump stops that come with the kit. Oh well, I guess that gives the OP an opportunity to make it right.

For a 2.5" coil kit, the only things you really "need" besides the coils and longer shocks are the bump stop extensions and longer sway bar links. If it is indeed a 2.5" kit, you can move the rear OEM links to the front and get new longer rears. Or you can get quick disconnects like Hook-Em said. JKS and Teraflex both make good sets.

. I just don't want to see you rip your fenders off when you stuff those 34's up into the wheel well.
