I have this same kit laying in my garage waiting for me to install it!
lol
It is really cold here and I still have been using my XJ when it snows.
SO I do not want it to be out of commission if I run into a issue installing it. lol

Well in the mean time I have learned a lot about this kit.!
it is a great kit!
I Already have a SYE and RE rear shaft so I am all set in that aspect.

I plan on cutting up my rear lower shock mounts and welding my own tabs on there.
I also have sold the RC 2.2 performance shocks on ebay.
I read a lot about them for this kit.
the ones that come with the kit are the same ones used in the 4.5" LA lift kit.
so I am purchasing 4 Bilstein 5150's!
I already ordered the 2 fronts.
I just have to wait to install the kit, then flex it out in the rear and measure and order those as well!

I am super sieked to install this kit!
I worry about ripping my front brake lines but I hear I can get custom lengths from quadratec if needed.
I am also trying like heck to save for a rear locker so I can install that at the same time!

this summer my XJ is going to be a whole new beast!
I cannot wait!
I hear that LA kits ride soo much better!
I cannot wait!
