For sure! I know everyone probably sees topics like this far too often, so I feel silly for making it now. But I don't think anything could ruin my day right now

Should look sweet after the install. Are you gonna do bastard packs bc the rear of your jeep looks pretty saggy as it is? I'm not gonna start another AAL debate bc I know how much we all like to argue.

In all of my pictures, my jeep is on a hill, which makes the back end look lower. I took most of the pictures standing at the higher front end, aiming downhill, and the fact that i'm 6'3" makes it look like the rear is sagging a lot. I've measured all 4 wheels with a full tank of gas on both flat ground and my inclined driveway.

Front measures 18" and rear measures 17.5" everytime. I'm not woried about AAL at all. I'm not doing any wheeling other than flat trails in the woods to make it to a campsite, so i'm sure this lift will do me just fine. If I ever need to replace the leafs, I'll do it, but I doubt I will.

EDIT: jmm0122, no offense taken! Just noticed you go to ECU, nice. I go to WCU but live a mile north of UNCC in the summer
