no, just sucks that I don't have a drill press, bench grinder, and bench vise at my disposal. If I did I could churn those things out in no time...

JKS charges $165 + shipping for basically the exact same thing. Mine use better materials and look cooler, the rod can be swapped out for longer rod if you go taller, and materials cost was only $70/ea set for 5 sets.

Thought I would introduce myself, I am Alex from Carroll County, just bought a 2000 2dr XJ SE, 4.5 rough country and 31s. In the process of getting it through inspection. Wanted to build a jeep for years now and finally needed a vehicle so time ran its course... got a deal on the XJ but the lift and rubber was already done so alittle less fun as far as the build is concerned... lots of plans in the future.... so Hey I'm alex!
