over all im pretty happy with the lift it went on pretty smooth no death wooble its stiffer but not to bad i will be buying somethings that i think will make the lift nicer im getting from and rear extended brake lines as i didn't like haveing to bend up the hard lines and i'll be getting some new shocks the ones that i got with the lift will work for now but i will be upgradeing them here soon

i pulled the carpet on my 95 and rhino lined it with 2 layers. the noise wasnt bad, i had my doors off a good bit of the time so i didnt care but the heat was horrible, after about 6 months the rhino liner actually started coming off the rear floorboards,but just top layer, its mainly because the lack of heat shields underneath, your muffler and cat are directly under passenger front seat and back floorboard. all the heat can do is rise.ill be keeping my arpet for as long as possible now
