Thanks man! And the only reason why i say cheap is because the long arm kit cost so much and it pushed my budged a little over haha.

So big update if anyone is following i ordered my lift kit and installed it in the past few days. Had to go with the the rc 4.5 short arm with aals instead of the long arm due to money issues BUT i also added the shackle relocation brackets and my 1 1/2 spacer up front.

So i know why my pos wont start. I remember that when i was torching my leafs out i had a small fire and this is the result. I spliced them all back together and still keep blowing the engine control fuse

well im slowly finding out why the floors in this jeep rotted out in the first place. Seems like there is a small leak on the passenger side. i came home to find a lovely puddle on my brand new floors. I have been doing research and its leading me to believe the blower motor is not sealed to the fire wall that well so when ever it decides to stop raining i will have to check it out.
