I'm guessing you have ABS, and that's why you have a D35. Looking forward to seeing it built up, and maybe I'll see you around the metroplex on the roads or off

The Brown Santa dropped off some presents!

RC 4.5" X series kit, with adjustable uppers and lowers, full leaf packs, and control arm drop brackets. I'm pumped

Wow its like deja vu. have fun with the lift. its well worth the time spent putting it on. on and just a little tip. when its all on turn the wheel to the right all the way and see if the link between the tie rod and the steering arm hit the sway bar link. if it does then give RC a call and explain to then the prob and they will send you a 1" pitman arm drop. (thats what I had to do) but I love the lift. great flex and ride with the CA drop kit.

Thank you, Ill be sure to check after i get it on. Did it cost you anything, or did they cover the cost?

I was gonna go with Treadwrights like i had on my Libby- Couldnt say enough good things about the customer service and the tires themselves were phenomenal. But they dont make 15" tires. Soooo Im goin with these:

Goodyear Duratracs in 33x12.5
and these:

Procomp Rims

If you buy 4 wheels and 4 tires from 4 wheel parts, you get free mount and balance.

Sweet man, thanks for the offer! A friend and I are putting the lift on, on Monday. After that we should have a Frisco meet and greet. I saw pretty sweet lifted white XJ on Preston yesterday.

Good to know, your Jeeps looking good. Have you decided on tires yet?
