[QUOTE="Mr. Bi-Polar, post: 431063"] Around March, we get a call saying out Coil Springs were completed and sent to our installers. Time to pack up and head out to out installers. It was time for the lift kit. New re-powder coated coil springs, new gold color shocks and a few other components made up the kit. The installation at the shop took 5 hours. They gave us a loaner jeep to drive around town. But I was too excited and wanted to see the installation progress. We arrive about 40mins before the install was to be completed. I did see the jeep on the alignment rack at that time. The moment of truth, The jeep was only suppose to have been lifted 1.5 inches.. but when the jeep rolled off the alignment rack, we couldn't believe it. The general manger said we gain 2.75 inches. Now this was going to look silly for another year driving around on those 16'' x 31'' tires. [ATTACH type="full"]117075[/ATTACH] But we ran into an issue while test driving the jeep around the lot. when the jeep would flex over humps, we could hear a knocking sound from the front end. Turns out the supplied sway links were too long. In order to correct the dealership mounted a set of the rear links on the front of the jeep till we could get the issue looked at. What impressed us the most is how well the gold accents set off the jeep. [ATTACH type="full" width="406px"]117076[/ATTACH] Note on the left side of the coils, the very long sway bar end link..
