Okay, so I still have some tweaking to do, but this morning I finally got around to snapping a few pics of my weekend project:









More pics are HERE!

 

Which shocks did you go with on that lift?

 

They're the FT M-Force gas shocks. The stickers came separately, so I decided not to put them on (I tend to favor the more clean stickerless look when I can).

 

So do tell what do you think of the kit as far as install and ride goes. Nice set up too

 

looks great, I hate my white jk, wish I would have held out for the green or redrock

 

The quick summary of the install: wait for Eddie's writeup!

The included instructions were very sparse, had a few things happening in a weird order (why do the front shocks and springs before the control arms?), and had several omissions like the fact that you need to cut a large bolt in order to remove the upper front passenger side arm (and it might be good to have a replacement on hand).

The ride is very nice -- a little firmer than stock, but completely acceptable on the freeway and off.

Tires do not make much noise at all, wouldn't notice it unless you're listening for it.

Handling is so-so at this point, but I have done zero tweaking (and I realized that I blindly adjusted my front lower arms in the wrong direction -- doh!). I will let you know the final word after Thursday when I'm having it all aligned and checked at a 4x4 shop.

Yeah, I thought about it, but I figured I'd just hold out until I can get a proper stubby w/ winch mount. On a not-completely-unrelated note, anyone know when those Shrockworks stubbys will be shipping?

Thanks! Just keepin' it simple. Glad you like it.

 

That looks badass I love that color and hope I can get the same.

Can you post a better profile pic please?
