today we did the rotors and pads and tackled the new ac compressor as well....tomorrow evening will be the lift

[QUOTE=imped4now;8006875]I would NOT install the spacer in the rear. That will prevent you from having to drop the t-case, most likely. I'd take 2.5" of lift and no t-case drop any day over 3.25" of lift while having to drop the skid. If you do have to drop it, a couple washers is all you'll need. Absolutely DO NOT use the giant t-case spacers RC provides. Put those to good use in the form of bump stop extensions or seat risers. Not installing the rear spacer will also give the jeep a level stance.[/QUOTE

got the jeep back today, sits perectly level

Those bastards are tricky though at BodyArmor.....they dont tell you that the swing out portion is NOT included....its seperate....i think its a bunch of BS because that piece alone is $409, the bumper itself was $450!!!!

It functions just as well as any of them on the market. Goto walmart, get about 10 feet of rope, and 2 bicycle grips. done. cost me about 7 dollars, better than 40 dollars plus shipping

I wasn't trying to say that they were bad or anything. I think its better when people make things themselves instead of paying for them.
