I wouldn't get their whole kit. Issues with their leaf spring being too short, etc. (Search it). I'd go with a pieced together lift. That said, I have their long arm upgrade and it's not bad at all. Beefy, but I can't say anything about durability as I haven't even got it installed all the way yet. Do you have any lift on there yet?

No lift but it's bigger than my wife's 99 classic and my brother in laws 01 sport(same as mine) i have 235/75/15s which is just a touch wider than stock.
Thanks for the input I'll check that out as well.

Nice! Yeah I'm picking up a set of 5 JK Rubicon wheels next week for $175. Then I will get my gears ordered, sand blast my axles and get cranking!
Still thinking I'm going to do it right and go RE or Clayton long arm.

Pull off your dash bezel, there will be four Phillips screws undo those. Then there will be a bulb with a flat base on the upper left back of the unit and lower right. Use a small flat head to unscrew it they lock in with 1/4 turn. I bought t4 neowedge smd led bulbs off eBay. 4.99 for 2.

RE 5.5" coils came today. Lil guy is doing quality control, checking them out: )
In the next two weeks I'll have RE 3.5" leafs ordered. Should I get shackles or wait? And suggestions on SYE,been looking at Seriousoffroads.

Pretty sure I found the culprit of my p0455 EVAP large leak code. First hose was where the line connects to the canister under the back seat on the drivers side, second one was under the drivers side firewall and not even connected. Idles a lot better now.
I was getting an intermittent misfire on 1 and or 1&6. This may have been causing it. I've had two shops say it only misfires at idle....both were confused on why/how it's only at idle...
