Hey, George. Good luck with everything. Looks like you've got a really good, clean starting point. I'm sure whatever lift you choose will work out great.

Well, tonight I installed my new battery 
(old one crapped out). Here's some pictures. Black Betty lives 
Old battery out
Old battery (looks new, right?)
11 year old positive connector, the negative was replaced a year ago, so I figured this was a good time to replace this one
Before a new connector went back on, my dad and I used some electrical appliance cleaner to clean off the wires, did wonders.
Shiny!
After all was said and done (cleaning, brushing, vacuuming the battery tray out), it was time for the new battery. All done.
Lift will definitely arrive late this September. In the meantime stay tuned!

Thanks!
It seems sturdy. I dropped the Jeep off at the dealership tonight to have the disc brakes looked at tomorrow. One of my other threads talk about the front driver side caliper randomly locking up, so if both end up getting replaced tomorrow I will have pics!
In the meantime took her out tonight and she runs beautifully now that its getting cooler out.
Also stopped by Pep Boys to check out the Dakotas, and got the OK from my parents with buying them. They like the deep tread lol.
