Well the lift came in last night, and of course we jumped right into it. it probably took us 5 hours to do the front. hopefully going to get the back done tonite.

what do you guys suggest for re-aligning everything after?

Is there a beer to work load ratio not calculated into that time frame? :badpc:

I'm just saying it's happend. Not to me......................Ok yes it's happend to me. for every beer you drink add 15 to 25 min of non productive work into the mix.

LOL

I suggest an alignment.

Most shops can work with aligning these lifts. I've been going to the Midas down the street from me and using their on-line coupon for a $49.95 alignment.

we finished it up last night (even the stickers lol)!
no angle grinder needed!!

I like that a lot. It’s going to really look sharp and finish it off with new tires and rims. Still kicking around the idea of that kit with 30s or just shoot for 2.5 or 3 at the most.

Silver really is the only way to go on those XJ!

looks good, im jealous.

Looks good! Canyons will look nice on there...... I may be a bit biased though ...

But I believe you have the rear shocks mounted upside-down....... :dunno:

(smilies=:looney

so my only question is the shackle hanger box... is it a problem area with longer leafs? or is there a chance i coulda put the bolt in the wrong way maybe?
