I looked at this link http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f6/little-girl-needs-our-help-909081/#post8347596 and decided my Jeep would want me to donate for a good cause.

I "think" I fixed a sticky stick, but time will tell.

Sorry about that. Here are the pics........Right now the rear is 1/4" lower then the front. When I measured it before the lift, it was 3/4" higher. After I installed the suspension lift, the rear only raised 1"(instead of 2.5"), the front only 2". I'm going to install a 1.5" spacer in the rear to raise it up. Once I get the 35 on the tire carrier, it's going to hang even more, so I want to make sure to get it all leveled out.......we have a lot of weight in the rear of the Jeep, and the tire carrier is heavy, I'm sure that's why it didn't lift as much as it should have.........

Great looking jeep esp. the color thanks for posting the pics.
Although I think RC 2.5 springs are great in most applications, they really aren't up to the task needed for LJ's with hard tops, your results are the proof.

Thanks!! I've always liked the silver, however, that Impact Green is sweet too.........I'll post some more pics once I get it leveled and the new flares on it.

I agree, the springs just aren't up to the task......

I do too, however, that pic was taken right after we pulled it out of the garage.........it has settled since then, and the rear is hanging now........

Last night I swapped all four shock and added bar pin eliminators, also changed front brake pads, rear pads and rotors, parking brake kit, and fuel pump assembly.
