nah i pieced it together. i traded the wheels for all 4 shocks and sway bar links through IRO so that was free. i had to drive 20 miles and tow my buddies 5.9 grand cherokee on 35s off the freeway 5 miles to a nice neighborhood and for doing it, he gave me his old 3.5" coils free so that was free. the rear coils are just the old front coils so those were free, and i ended up having to buy the double sheer tracbar when we snapped the lower bolt and the top mount was shot so i got a discount and paid $150 for that. so pretty much $150 for the whole lift haha.

i cleaned her up today too..i swear mud is a love hate relationship for me haha. once everything underneath dries, ill take care of the deathwobble

nah sorry man not sure about ram coils but if i remember right, F150 coils will get you around 3" and then just put the front coils in the back. and yeah man, its nice knowing jeep guys haha. 2 of my closest friends drive grands and i have a bunch of other friends that have zj's, xj's and wj's. plus it helps im only 20 minutes from IRO haha
