does size matter of course it does , or why else would they make so many bigger lifts? this weekend the wife's wj goes from 2" to 4.5" if sizr didn't matter she wouldn't of wanted to go to 4.5" and go from 265's to 285's... so we'll se it took 2 years of 2" so i hope to get 2 years out of her new lift.... the next thing is tire/ rims... so many and they all cost sooo much... errrrrr she's worth it.. so 17" pinters and 285 bfg's km2's... she owes me sooooo bad..... once i resize my pics i'll post the new lift pics... could be some time.. i'm a busy guy..

ok the brakes got fixed, remeber bleeders up not down.... i towed it the the jeep show... and the tranny lines were leaking at the trans. the quick fittings o-ring just weren't holding.. got new o-rings at 8am and go them in it tooks some trys but it stopped leaking... then at the end of the day, the water hole,,, stopped me by going too fast.. i thought i had a boat not a xj... oh well.. cleaned the cap, and pulled the plugs, and we were backing running... so it got flogged, and hte stroker sounds great... people keep asking what was under the hood... so disreguard that last poll... and the back hoe keys are safe... lol
