Default IRO Lift Finally!!

So... after driving 4 hours yesterday to Wisconsin... than 5.5 hours on the way back due to 15mi backup on 39-South...

I finally have my IRO 5.5 Long Arm Lift with DT8000 shocks...

I'll create a build thread once I get started on it this weekend (I hope) I have MonstaLiner sitting here as well to be applied to the interior..

Going to be a busy weekend!! I couldn't hold in the excitement anymore so I had to tell everyone!!

haha

Cheers

I need to have 2 threads merged soon.. anyway...

Yea... When taking apart the XJ for the lift install, I found some other items that need to be addressed.

Bumpstops are ALL shot.. need to figure out which I want to replace with.

Rotors need to be replaced
Brake Calipers need to be cleaned and painted.
The Dana35 has got to go!
