Hey Jersey. Calstatexj from SoCal here. Jeep parts in The WIFES area not a good thing. Happy wife-Happy life. Lol.
Hey question for u. I have the same lift with 31's. I was told by a friend that I should have got in my package a bracket to lower the 4x4 shifter. It is installed under the carpet on the drivers side. When in 4 high it keeps popping out of gear. Do u understand what im saying? Did yours come with such a bracket?

 

no never came with that,now im curious,i will call them on monday,let me know if you talk to them first.

 

i watched a you tube video ,and i still cant figure out how to post a photo,lol
