Striper, did you install it yourself?

No way, I don't have a car lift or a tranny lift. I paid a mechanic to do the work this time.

Runs nice and the money will come back in better performance, mpg

I decreased my engine bay on the CRD and the powerstroke.
I am crossing my finger that the low pressure water doesn't cause any issues!

On the Grand Cherokee CRD I finished up installing the 2 1/2" lift. Looks great :JEEPIN:

Still waiting to get the Liberty CRD out of the shop, they had to order more parts :furious:

Make sure that the four bolts from sway bar to control arms are super tight or you can get a rattle.

Replaced my turbo, went ahead and changed Oil and flushed Radiator while I had everything apart. Awaiting 2nd Gen Fuel head before I try to restart her and pray the timing belt hasn't skipped a tooth or two.

I did the EHM until I get a provent setup and installed a Stant 195 inline and now I have perfect temps!

Replaced my rear brake pads and greased up the rear slider pins. Everything looked pretty good and moved freely, that was encouraging.
