No problem man, I mean they do look like that could be the correct way for the geometry aspect of things.

This is for a TJ but front should be the same. Refer to Instruction number 15.

The previous owner of the lift must've ran these upside down as well. Those stickers were facing that way when I bought it. All good now. Switched them around. Thanks for catching that for me bud!

Haha right on. I have the same arms on my Jeep, Upper and Lower RE Superflex arms, and boy oh boy I LOVE them so far. I just wish I would have gotten the adjustable arms, but o well.

Looks like a pretty sweet rig though. Need to get some meets under that thing though.

I can't wait to try them out! I'm immobile right now until I finish. I plan on wheeling a bunch this summer and even more when I move back to Colorado.

The RE gave me around 4" in the front and near 4.5" in the rear. I plan on getting 31"s in the near future, but will run these 235s until I find a good deal on a set of the 31s.

Also threw some Pioneers in my sound bar to replace my blown stockers.

And lastly, I removed the factory fogs and trimmed the end caps.
