Default just ordered my 3" lift from RC

just ordered my 3" lift from RC with full leafs, I couldn't be more pumped! My rear springs are currently de-arched something fierce to where I don't even want to drive it right now. I think my 3" is going to feel like 5" (that's what she said - sorry couldn't resist) with how low the rear sits now.

anyway, Jason is the man, he hooked it up over there! I can't wait to get er installed! thanks everyone for all the good lift info, although I think I wore out the search feature in the past few days. we'll let ya know how the install goes and post some pics.

sorry, not much of a post, just me being excited

sorry about that Trekker, thanks!

thanks OEJ, the previous owner had already put 31x10.5s on and that combined with the stock sagging suspension.... needless to say I just HAD to order a lift before I've even owned the Jeep a week! (that's what I told the wife anyway, but she's all for it) can't wait, just got the shipping notification. guess I'll start the PB Blaster now!

I just put the same lift on mine and be prepared to curse a lot. I have 253k miles on mine so hardly any of the front end wanted to come apart. I ended up having to remove the LCA's (@frame) to get the springs out. Other than that the rear came apart fine w/an impacts assistance! Oh I did break a front lower shock bolt.
