So with the help of WOG I was able to get my lift installed to day. What a difference it make's in the way it looks I can't wait to get it on a trail and see what it can really do.

For my first lift install I feel that it went pretty smooth for the most part WOG talked me through a lot and showed me a lot. I am grateful for the knowledge I gained today and peace of mind knowing that I can do my own repairs if need be. The one thing we did not do is install the steering stabilizer being that I will wait till I jump to 35's but I have it waiting until I do. This all being said this was a great experience and I feel that every jeep owner should have to install their own parts, I feel that doing it your self is invaluable.

I would love to but not able to drop cash on new tires right at the moment with the holidays coming up and trying to save money to take my wife to ireland. Thanks for the heads up on the deal anyway.

So far I like it although I have only driven on streets so not sure that I can make a good report on it at the moment.I hope to get it on a trail and let it shine. As it stand right now the lift is a bit stiffer feeling which I like I had a issue with getting the steering wheel back to center,but I think I have got it as close as I can. When I centered the wheel the day of install it looked to be dead on center then after driving a bit I noticed it was passenger which caused my ESP/BAS light to come on. I played around and adjusted a few times to get it to were it is now.I feel that with the little play in the steering wheel it is a little driver but my ESP/BAS light has turned off and not returned. I do plan on installing the steering stabilizer this weekend. All in all I liked how easy it was to install. This was my first lift install granted I had help from some one the knew what they were doing but I feel that even with out his help I would have been able to do it my self it just would have taken a lot longer. I am happy with the height that I have gained and the way it looks I will get the extra bit of height that I want and will need out of larger tires which wont be for a while. Hope this helps you I will post more feed back once I can get off road whit it.

Update on the lift everything is working great I did get under the JK and check all the bolts a few times. Rides great on road and like many of us on the forum that is the case. I have got it off road a few times now ones to Tahuya and I went and played around in some snow yesterday. I am pleased with the set up I have at the moment I am glad I went with a lift and not a Budget Boost. Now time for 35's and some bumpers.
