I love them. like look great and function even better than they look, but as I said, at a pretty penny, like one of those nice shiny new ones you get from the bank haha. but if you end up gettin them, lemme know cause it's tricky to get them just right and there's a few things you gotta do to make them fit.
The lift kit will be put on this afternoon. it shouldn't take that long (knock on wood). I brought the camera with me, so if it's finished by tonight, I'll post them up

Welllllll, the lift is half way done, sorta. the pass side went in with only 1 broken upper shock bolt. so we drilled and tapped it and that side is sitting 4"+. yes, it will sag but it looks mean right now haha. as for the driver side.... both upper shock bolts broke and we had just enough time to drill and tap those as well. but, I got a huge problem. the main eye bolt will not budge. I even tried my grandfathers impact and it still didn't move. I'm most certainly babying this one only because I don't know how else to replace it. I have an extra grade 8 bolt and nuts, but I have no idea how to replace them. pictures will be up shortly on what we got done. none of the driver side yet though. I'm hoping the PB blaster will kick in and get that sucker movin cause everything else is off and the leaf pack is just held up by that one bolt. can anyone throw me some ideas on how to get it out?

Nice Porsche, and I feel your pain on all the broken bolts you went through. I did the same exact lift last week and was at the shop almost all day.

I know, it's been awhile. but workin 2 jobs and taking summer classes, leaves me with very little time for the Cherokee. couple things happened recently. I had to replace a front wheel bearing and now I found metal in my rear diff. my spider gears were bad. real bad. so while I'm waitin on those to be shipped, I realized that because I'm at 4" in the rear, well about 3.6" or 3.7" now since it sagged, and only 3" in the front, I got the vibes I didn't get when I first put the lift on. if I do an SYE, which I'm thinkin I should since I'll go higher later, do I have to buy a new driveshaft? or can I use my stock one?

Just go with a transfer case drop or rustys cross member man. It will get rid of the vibes. An sye is kind of overkill for only 3-4".
Edit:
Didn't notice the part where you said you wanted to go higher eventually lol. Iron rock makes a kit w/ drive shaft thats well priced, I'd look into that if I were you.
