Thanks.

Im not selling anymore.

I ordered the new lift Friday and it ships this Friday.
It is a 6.5" Rough Country long arm kit.

I also have a JCR 1 ton steering sitting waiting to be installed.
And a XJ D44 that I am re-doing with disc brakes, 4.56 gears and a locker and Solid HD cover.

As far as tires. Right now, knowing 89eliminator's stance, Im going to do some 33x10.5x15 BFG KM2's or some of the new Wrangler MT/R's with Kevlar. Leaning towards the KM2's though.

well since I just found out my damn lift is on a slight back order after being told it wasn't, I went out and ordered my new steering box and optima battery.

The new steering box is going to be out of a durango (upgrade) and the new optima is because my old one was technically my bro's and he needed it since my jeep is sitting.

The lift did come in today while I was at work!!!!
When I got home though, I noticed I only got one leaf spring. Called RC, and UPS had it, just left it in transit dammit. So now I have to wait until tomorrow for that. I want to do the rear lift first.
Also got my stuff from Advanced Auto today in the mail. Another added thing to pissing me off, the optima Red top came in damaged! What a bunch of crap. Luckily Advanced Auto in town had one in and replaced it for free (obviously).
